To have ideas, apercus, is not enough, and it is the overevalutation of such clever but uncontrolled guesses which is apt to produce the ludicrous fallacy of combination, in which fragments of the final theory are collected from widely scattered sources and are combined in such a way as to impugn the originality of him who was the first to see how such a synthesis was possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the world of human thought generally, and in physical science particularly, the most important and fruitful concepts are those ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27663]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the world of human thought generally, and in physical science particularly, the most important and fruitful concepts are those to which it is impossible to attach a well-defined meaning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The future is purchased by the present. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48133]]></link><description><![CDATA[The future is purchased by the present.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature has no mercy at all.

Jesus says His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can not be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow, in which no work can be done any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lyon is not so fierce as they paint him. [The lion is not so fierce as they paint him.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49889]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Lyon is not so fierce as they paint him. [The lion is not so fierce as they paint him.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather be poor in a cottage full of books than a king without the desire to read. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63834]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather be poor in a cottage full of books than a king without the desire to read.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The findings show that we have a significant majority of respondents who have been with us for more than 10 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39603]]></link><description><![CDATA[The findings show that we have a significant majority of respondents who have been with us for more than 10 years, so we are very good at keeping hold of people once they come to us.
