This is the idea which has kept me virtually unknown for the past 16 years. I have watched my crowds dwindle. I am going nowhere, and nowhere quick, but, those of you who have children, I am sorry to tell you this, but they are not special. Wait! I know some of you are going "what, what?" Let me just clarify: I know YOU think they're special ... ha ha ha! I'm aware of that. I'm just here to tell you, that they're NOT! Ha ha ha ha! Sorry. Did you know that every time a guy comes he comes two-hundred million sperm? One out of TWO-HUNDRED MILLION – that load, we're only talking about one load – connected: gee, what are the fucking odds? Do you know what that means? I've wiped nations off've my chest with a grey gymsock. ENTIRE CIVILISATIONS HAVE FLAKED AND CRUSTED IN THE HAIR AROUND MY NAVEL!

We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15181]]></link><description><![CDATA[Families with babies and families without babies are sorry for each other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe that no child should suffer from a preventable or treatable disorder.

I do not pretend to understand the ways of God any more than the next man; but it is surely more fitting as well as more sensible for us to study what God does do and what He does not do as He works in and through the complex fabric of this disintegrated world, than to postulate what we think God ought to do and then feel demoralized and bitterly disappointed because He fails to fulfil what we expect of Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53439]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anything I've ever done that ultimately was worthwhile... initially scared me to death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11356]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anything I've ever done that ultimately was worthwhile... initially scared me to death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Traditionally, women have done cosmetic surgery to be competitive along beauty standards.
