The urge to escape our real self is also an urge to escape the rational and the obvious. The refusal to see ourselves as we are develops a distaste for facts and cold logic. There is no hope for the frustrated in the actual and the possible. Salvation can come to them only from the miraculous, which seeps through a crack in the iron wall of inexorable reality. They asked to be deceived.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For, wake where'er he may, man wakes to care and coil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51090]]></link><description><![CDATA[For, wake where'er he may, man wakes to care and coil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of a misfit occupation. . . .

I need not now attempt to make precise these heresies, as they came to be called. It is necessary only to point out that in various ways all these heresies were simplifications. By means of them, the revelation of God to men was made -- or appeared to be made -- less scandalous. On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided, and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Practice) wasn't very pretty at times today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31690]]></link><description><![CDATA[(Practice) wasn't very pretty at times today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The (steam) sterilizers right now use 9,000 watts of electricity each, and these will be down to 1,500 watts apiece. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41822]]></link><description><![CDATA[The (steam) sterilizers right now use 9,000 watts of electricity each, and these will be down to 1,500 watts apiece.
