For where unification has been able to establish unity of ideas it has usually ended in uniformity, paralysing the growth of new ideas. And where the unification has merely brought about an artificial or imposed unity, its irksomeness has led through discord to disruption.Vitality springs from diversity- which makes for real progress so long as there is mutual toleration, based on the recognition that worse may come from an attempt to suppress differences than from acceptance of them. For this reason, the kind of peace that makes progress possible is best assured by the mutual checks created by a balance of forces- alike in the sphere of internal politics and of international relations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8047]]></link><description><![CDATA[Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frightened and terrified at the sight of it... A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20032]]></link><description><![CDATA[The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains that I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If punishment makes not the will supple it hardens the offender. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52580]]></link><description><![CDATA[If punishment makes not the will supple it hardens the offender.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're pleased to know that at the congressional level they're realizing this is important. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33599]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're pleased to know that at the congressional level they're realizing this is important.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mystery of existence is the connection between our faults and our misfortunes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15431]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mystery of existence is the connection between our faults and our misfortunes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The power of imagination makes us infinite. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62806]]></link><description><![CDATA[The power of imagination makes us infinite.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62806</guid></item></channel></rss>
