Its story of our origins and of our end is, to say the least, unsatisfactory. To the question, "How did it all begin?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." To the question, "How will it all end?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." And to many people, the accidental life is not worth living. Moreover, the science-god has no answer to the question, "Why are we here?" and, to the question, "What moral instructions do you give us?", the science-god maintains silence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Niagara! wonder of this western world, And half the world beside! hail, beauteous queen  Of cataracts!"

It would not be true to affirm that the denominations are not religious groups with religious purposes; but it is true that they represent the accommodation of religion to the caste system. They are emblems, therefore, of the victory of the world over the church, of the secularization of Christianity, of the church's sanction of that divisiveness which the church's gospel condemns.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dream of a cat is filled with mice ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43322]]></link><description><![CDATA[The dream of a cat is filled with mice]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was sick, you gave me bitter pills, And I must minister the like to you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26725]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I was sick, you gave me bitter pills, And I must minister the like to you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The surest cure for vanity is loneliness ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60366]]></link><description><![CDATA[The surest cure for vanity is loneliness]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are like steel.
