"Ye worship ye know not what, but we know what we worship," "that which we have seen with our eyes and our hands have handled" -- "He suffered under Pontius Pilate." God died -- not in a legend, not in a symbol, not in a distant past nor in a realm unknown, but here, [in the crucifiction of Christ]; the whole great cloudy castle of natural religion and poetic prophecy is brought down to earth and firmly cemented upon that angular and solid cornerstone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To err is human, but to persevere in error is only the act of a fool. [Lat., Cujusvis hominis est ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14152]]></link><description><![CDATA[To err is human, but to persevere in error is only the act of a fool. [Lat., Cujusvis hominis est errare, nullius nisi insipientis in errore perseverare.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature is wont to hide herself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64902]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature is wont to hide herself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The belief that there is only one truth, and that oneself is in possession of it, is the root of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4064]]></link><description><![CDATA[The belief that there is only one truth, and that oneself is in possession of it, is the root of all evil in the world]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We still have to practice and play, and no matter where we do, the field is still going to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30355]]></link><description><![CDATA[We still have to practice and play, and no matter where we do, the field is still going to be 100 yards, and they're doing a good job.
