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 best love story is when you fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62963]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best love story is when you fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["meat produced under current factory farming conditions(which transgress Jewish prohibitions against cruelty to animals) render the eating of such meat, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/198]]></link><description><![CDATA["meat produced under current factory farming conditions(which transgress Jewish prohibitions against cruelty to animals) render the eating of such meat, halachically unacceptable (i.e. unacceptable in terms ofJewish law.)"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart that has truly loved never forgets But as truly loves on to the close. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25816]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart that has truly loved never forgets But as truly loves on to the close.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more serious the illness, the more important it is for you to fight back, mobilizing all your resources-spiritual, emotional, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20449]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more serious the illness, the more important it is for you to fight back, mobilizing all your resources-spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A kingdom founded on injustice never lasts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20933]]></link><description><![CDATA[A kingdom founded on injustice never lasts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the end truth will out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51406]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the end truth will out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are three terrible ages of childhood - 1 to 10, 10 to 20, and 20 to 30. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32019]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are three terrible ages of childhood - 1 to 10, 10 to 20, and 20 to 30.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no more mistaken path to happiness than worldliness, revelry, high life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26889]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no more mistaken path to happiness than worldliness, revelry, high life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, love is the soul of a true Irishman; He loves all that's lovely, loves all that he can,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23048]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, love is the soul of a true Irishman; He loves all that's lovely, loves all that he can,  With his sprig of shillelagh and shamrock so green.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spare your breath to cool your porridge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48812]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spare your breath to cool your porridge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16996]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At times truth may not seem probable. [Fr., Le vrai peut quelquefois n'etre pas vraisemblable.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59807]]></link><description><![CDATA[At times truth may not seem probable. [Fr., Le vrai peut quelquefois n'etre pas vraisemblable.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I observe that Christ and His forerunner John in their parabolic discourses were wont to allude to things present.

The old prophets, when they would describe things emphatically, did not only draw parables from things which offered themselves, as from the rent of a garment, ... from the vessels of a potter, ... but also, when such objects were wanting, they supplied them by their own actions, as by rending a garment, ... by shooting, ... etc. By such types the prophets loved to speak. And Christ, being endued with a nobler prophet spirit than the rest, excelled also in this kind of speaking, yet so as not to speak by His own actions -- [which would have been] less grave and decent -- but to turn into parables such things as offered themselves. On occasion of the harvest approaching, He admonishes His disciples once and again of the spiritual harvest. Seeing the lilies of the field, He admonishes His disciples about clothing. In allusion to the present season of fruits, He admonishes His disciples about knowing men by their fruits. In the time of the Passover, when trees put forth their leaves, He bids His disciples, "learn a parable from the fig-tree".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We bought a real beauty parlor, with dryers and functioning water, and the whole bit.
