That question has searched religion for contraband goods, stripped it of old superstitions, forced it to change its categories of thought and methods of work, and in general has so cowed and scared religion that many modern-minded believers... instinctively throw up their hands at the mere whisper of it... When a prominent scientist comes out strongly for religion, all the churches thank Heaven and take courage, as though it were the highest possible compliment to God to have Eddington believe in Him. Science has become the arbiter of this generation's thought, until to call even a prophet and a seer 'scientific' is to cap the climax of praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek first to understand and then to be understood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek first to understand and then to be understood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've won this race three times, so I enjoy being out front.

In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Overwhelmingly, they're male, and overwhelmingly, they're white.
