That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then - to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn." Ropo Oguntimehin Education is a companion which no future can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate it and no nepotism can enslave. -T.H.

Their leaders knew very well, however, that secularism, like any other parasite, derives its sustenance from the object on which it feeds, and so they were rather pleased when milquetoast Christians timidly offered, as a definition of secularism, "living as though God did not exist." What Christians should have called it was, rather, "a contemptibly fraudulent way of living on the cheap, by reaping the maximum fruits of Christian effort, while contributing the minimum effort of your own." When secularists accused Christians of "living in the past," the Christians ought to have retaliated by pointing out that secularists were "living off the past." By the time they got around to doing so, however, the majority of secularists had become morally incapable of seeing the point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And fearless minds climb soonest unto crowns. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54506]]></link><description><![CDATA[And fearless minds climb soonest unto crowns.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To find yourself, think for yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22759]]></link><description><![CDATA[To find yourself, think for yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was no great disparity of years, Though much in temper; but they never clash'd,  They moved like stars ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26559]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was no great disparity of years, Though much in temper; but they never clash'd,  They moved like stars united in their spheres,   Or like the Rhone by Leman's waters wash'd,    Where mingled and yet separate appears     The river from the lake, all bluely dash'd      Through the serene and placid glassy deep,       Which fain would lull its river-child to sleep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Night is a stealthy, evil Raven, Wrapt to the eyes in his black wings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Night is a stealthy, evil Raven, Wrapt to the eyes in his black wings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Restive horses must be roughly dealt with. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51018]]></link><description><![CDATA[Restive horses must be roughly dealt with.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fools take to themselves the respect that is given to their office. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1428]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fools take to themselves the respect that is given to their office.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61226]]></link><description><![CDATA[War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Eiffel Tower is the Empire State Building after taxes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58663]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Eiffel Tower is the Empire State Building after taxes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your desires be endless, your cares and fears will be so too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15846]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your desires be endless, your cares and fears will be so too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550 And have the bright immensities received our risen Lord Where ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7086]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550 And have the bright immensities received our risen Lord Where light-years frame the Pleiades and point Orion's sword?
