They, too, stress the leap of faith and make irrationality almost a principle, dismissing the serious questions of seeking modern men as intellectual smoke-screens or diversions to conceal deeper personal problems. All this masks a desperate intellectual insecurity, barely disguised by the surrounding hedge of taboos to preserve purity. The strident intolerance of much guilt-driven evangelism betrays the same insecurity. In these circles, much that is taught has to be unlearned in the wider school of life, and it is not surprising that universities are littered with dropouts from such groups. Their non-rational, subjective faith is cruelly punctured by varsity-level questions, and many manage to survive only by resorting to a severely schizophrenic faith which they hold to be true religiously but not intellectually, historically, or scientifically.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We wrestled very well.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to believe a lie that one has heard a thousand times than to believe a fact that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14893]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to believe a lie that one has heard a thousand times than to believe a fact that no one has heard before]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I tried to stop smoking cigarettes by telling myself I just didn't want to smoke, but I didn't believe myself ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56702]]></link><description><![CDATA[I tried to stop smoking cigarettes by telling myself I just didn't want to smoke, but I didn't believe myself]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We looked at the future map and it said agriculture.

Races and peoples, lo, we stand divided,  And, sharing not our griefs, no joy can share;  By wars and tumults love is mocked, derided  His conquering cross no kingdom wills to bear. Envious of heart, blind-eyed, with tongues confounded, Nation by nation still goes unforgiven, In wrath and fear, by jealousies surrounded,  Building proud towers which shall not reach to heaven. Lust of possession worketh desolations;  There is no meekness in the sons of earth;  Led by no star, the rulers of the nations  Still fail to bring us to the blissful birth: How shall we love Thee, holy hidden Being,  If we love not the world which Thou hast made?  O give us brother-love for better seeing  Thy Word made flesh, and in a manger laid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9045]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners were left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder.
