The real questions refuse to be placated. They barge into your life at the times when it seems most important for them to stay away. They are the questions asked most frequently and answered most inadequately, the ones that reveal their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often against your will. -Ingrid Bengis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we were to ask the brain how it would like to be treated, whether shaken at a random, irregular ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52432]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we were to ask the brain how it would like to be treated, whether shaken at a random, irregular rate, or in a rhythmic, harmonious fashion, we can be sure that the brain, or for that matter the whole body, would prefer the latter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know what?

Let us say that man is the kind of creature who naturally sees the world from a very limited perspective, that he tends to be self-centered and to prefer the interests that are closest to himself and to his own social group. Let us say that man is naturally unwilling to accept his limited or finite status, that he is always seeking to extend his control over others, that he seeks to maintain his own security by means of power over all who may threaten it, that he likes to be in a position to compare himself with others to their disadvantage, that he seeks to be self-sufficient and to deny in effect his dependence upon God and to set up his own group or system or ideal in the place of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right now, I see nothing.

Examples could be multiplied. This type of service is a great witness to the reality of Christian life and faith; but it presupposes a spirit of fellowship within the Church, a spirit which is all too rare. It means that there is mutual respect and trust between the minister and the members of his Church; and a spirit of fellowship which is outward-looking and which issues in service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Review your goals twice every day in order to be focused on achieving them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Review your goals twice every day in order to be focused on achieving them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Greed is all right, by the way I think greed is healthy.

How could pagans have developed words for Christian ideas which have never occurred to them? This identical situation existed when the Holy Spirit inspired the New Testament. At that time many pagan words, with pagan-thought background, were used in Christian contexts; by the contexts the present Christian meaning eventually built up, until it was possible to express all the Christian meaning in the pagan terms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5417]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who can refute a sneer? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18814]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who can refute a sneer?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We thought (Scottsbluff) was getting used to the zone and we thought we could pressure their guards into turning it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32373]]></link><description><![CDATA[We thought (Scottsbluff) was getting used to the zone and we thought we could pressure their guards into turning it over a little bit.
