Not only has liberty nothing to do with any other sort of equality, but it is even bound to produce inequality in many respects. This is the necessary result and part of the justification of individual liberty: if the result of individual liberty did not demonstrate that some manners of living are more successful than others, much of the case for it would vanish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The uncreative mind can spot wrong answers, but it takes a very creative mind to spot wrong questions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46512]]></link><description><![CDATA[The uncreative mind can spot wrong answers, but it takes a very creative mind to spot wrong questions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inward rest... gives an air of leisure to [Christ's] crowded life: above all, there is in this Man a secret ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6459]]></link><description><![CDATA[Inward rest... gives an air of leisure to [Christ's] crowded life: above all, there is in this Man a secret and a power of dealing with the waste-products of life, the waste of pain, disappointment, enmity, death -- turning to divine uses the abuses of man, transforming arid places of pain to fruitfulness, triumphing at last in death, and making a short life of thirty years or so, abruptly cut off, to be a "finished" life.

Yet we are not to omit reading the abstruser texts, which have any appearance of relating to us; but should follow the example of the Blessed Virgin, who understood not several of our Saviour's sayings, but kept them all in her heart.

Whatever intelligent creature lives not under this rule of love is so far fallen from the order of his creation, and is, till he returns to this eternal law of love, an apostate from God and incapable of the kingdom of Heaven. Now, if God is alone to be loved for Himself, then no creature is to be loved for itself; and so all self-love in every creature is absolutely condemned. And if all created beings are only to be loved in and for God, then my neighbour is to be loved as I love myself, and I am only to love myself as I love my neighbour or any other created being that is, only in and for God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it.
