The minute a man reaches thirty thousand feet, he immediately becomes consumed by distasteful sexual fantasies which involve doing uncomfortable things in those tiny toilets.

It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast.

Every man is to work for his living. "If a man will not work, neither let him eat." But those who cannot work are to be provided for out of the common fund. Old and helpless persons who have relations of their own should, indeed, find support from them and not be forced to come upon the Church; but for the resourceless the Church must provide. And those who are rich and who earn more than enough to support their own families are to be willing contributors to the common fund. The love of money -- the desire to accumulate wealth -- is the root of every kind of evil. The relation of one to another is to be that of members in one body, in which, if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the looks--not the lips, is the soul reflected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57282]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the looks--not the lips, is the soul reflected.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That loss is common would not make My own less bitter, rather more:  Too common!
