It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56355]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest. -Thomas More.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Action speaks louder than words. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62892]]></link><description><![CDATA[Action speaks louder than words.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between a smart man and a wise man is that a smart man knows what to say, a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46385]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between a smart man and a wise man is that a smart man knows what to say, a wise man knows whether or not to say it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All Heaven and Earth are still, though not in sleep, But breathless, as we grow when feeling most. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56273]]></link><description><![CDATA[All Heaven and Earth are still, though not in sleep, But breathless, as we grow when feeling most.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63632]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to be frightened now than killed hereafter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15527]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to be frightened now than killed hereafter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Get your ideas on paper and study them.

If anyone with carefree assurance breaks into this place, he will not succeed in satisfying his curiosity and he will enter a labyrinth from which he can find no exit. For it is not right for man unrestrainedly to search out things that the Lord has willed to be hidden in Himself; nor is it right for him to investigate from eternity that sublime wisdom, which God would have us revere but not understand, in order that through this also He should fill us with wonder. He has set forth by His Word the secrets of His will that He has decided to reveal to us. These He decided to reveal in so far as He foresaw that they would concern and benefit us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Race, what is that?

We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If nominated, I will not accept; if drafted, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11832]]></link><description><![CDATA[If nominated, I will not accept; if drafted, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think complexity is mostly sort of crummy stuff that is there because it's too expensive to change the interface. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9375]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think complexity is mostly sort of crummy stuff that is there because it's too expensive to change the interface.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was a man Who stole the livery of the court of Heaven  To serve the devil in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20229]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was a man Who stole the livery of the court of Heaven  To serve the devil in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart.
