The prophets should have taught us a different lesson. They should have led us to feel that it was a solemn duty, not to conceal, but to bring forward all the evidence which proves, not that one country is better than another, or one portion of the church better than another, but that there is a principle of decay, a tendency to apostasy in all, and that no comfort can come from merely balancing symptoms of good here against symptoms of evil there, no comfort from considering whether we are a little less contentious, a little less idolatrous than our neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58711]]></link><description><![CDATA[No bubble is so iridescent or floats longer than that blown by the successful teacher.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Agitation is the marshalling of the conscience of a nation to mold its laws. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1912]]></link><description><![CDATA[Agitation is the marshalling of the conscience of a nation to mold its laws.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And since geometry is the right foundation of all painting, I have decided to teach its rudiments and principles to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17377]]></link><description><![CDATA[And since geometry is the right foundation of all painting, I have decided to teach its rudiments and principles to all youngsters eager for art. . . .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Holy Cross   When scientists are honest, as most of them are, they are well aware ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7428]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Holy Cross   When scientists are honest, as most of them are, they are well aware of the fact that their competence in science does not give them a clue to the problem of how their science should be used in the service of man. The sensitive visitor to the mesas of Los Alamos is almost sure to meditate on the experience of that gifted man, Klaus Fuchs. Though his work in the laboratories was outstanding, his decision concerning the use of what he knew was disastrous. What if, in addition to his scientific competence, the younger Fuchs had shared something of the Christian conviction of his father, Emil Fuchs? Much of the subsequent history of our earth might then have been different.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some boundless contiguity of shade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some boundless contiguity of shade.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm pretty sure a lot of people look at Boise State winning this game, ...
