Securing a healthy global future requires this guiding principle to preserve freedom of spirit yet be as provable as the laws of physics. A guiding principle that addresses the meaning of life and is compelling enough to generate social cohesion and behaviors that serve the greater whole.

Knowledge of the physical universe is not to be thought of as irrelevant to Christian faith [simply] because it does not lead to saving knowledge of God. In so far as it is concerned with God's creation, physical science is a fitting study for God's children. Moreover, the advance of scientific knowledge does negatively correct and enlarge theological notions--at the least, the geologists and astrophysicists have helped us to rid ourselves of parochial notions of God, and filled in some of the meaning of such phrases as "almighty".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was glad she was done hitting me, but I didn't want her to hit anyone else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42588]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was glad she was done hitting me, but I didn't want her to hit anyone else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Bathe of the Blackamoor hath sworne not to whiten. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49796]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Bathe of the Blackamoor hath sworne not to whiten.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't belive what others tell you.

But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis bad enough in man or woman To steal a goose from off a common;  But surely he's without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59124]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis bad enough in man or woman To steal a goose from off a common;  But surely he's without excuse   Who steals a common from the goose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A person is either the effect of his environment or is able to have an effect upon his environment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13602]]></link><description><![CDATA[A person is either the effect of his environment or is able to have an effect upon his environment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've reached a point in life where it's no longer necessary to try to impress.
