And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. Ideas do not rule the world. But it is because the world has ideas... that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then mimick'd my voice with satyrical sneer, And sent me away with a Flea in my ear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16213]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then mimick'd my voice with satyrical sneer, And sent me away with a Flea in my ear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have mixed feelings about these long European stages.

In that very chapter [Romans 7] where he asserts most strongly our inability to keep the moral law he also asserts most confidently that we perceive the Law's goodness and rejoice in it according to the inward man. Our righteousness may be filthy and ragged; but Christianity gives us no ground for holding that our perceptions of right are in the same condition. They may, no doubt, be impaired; but there is a difference between imperfect sight and blindness. A theology which goes about to represent our practical reason as radically unsound is heading for disaster. If we once admit that what God means by "goodness" is sheerly different from what we judge to be good, there is no difference left between pure religion and devil worship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If God sends us on strong paths, we are provided strong shoes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13799]]></link><description><![CDATA[If God sends us on strong paths, we are provided strong shoes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Part of being sane, is being a little bit crazy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26187]]></link><description><![CDATA[Part of being sane, is being a little bit crazy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gods Grow angry with your patience.
