The term fast has no meaning apart from the term slow. In addition such terms have no meaning even when used together, except when confined to a very particular situation... most of our language about the organization and objective's of government is made up of such polar terms. Justice and injustice are typical. A reformer who wants to abolish injustice and create a world in which nothing but justice prevails is like a man who wants to make everything up. Such a man might feel that if he took the lowest in the world and carried it up to the highest point and kept on doing this, everything would eventually become up. This would certainly move a great many objects and create an enormous amount of activity. It might or might not be useful, according to the standards which we apply. However it would never result in the abolishment of down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is putting all your eggs in God's basket, then counting your blessings before they hatch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14987]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith is putting all your eggs in God's basket, then counting your blessings before they hatch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each nation feels superior to other nations.

Study the advertisements in any popular magazine: people are "invited to apply for membership"; "members will receive a catalogue"; they are even offered "rules", which they gladly accept because the need for authority lies heavily upon them; they then receive a card admitting them to the circle, with the "President's signature" printed on it. In the need for belonging, the acknowledgement of dependence, may lie the greatest opportunity of the Christian evangelist. It is not unlike the conditions under which the early Church worked. In the later Roman Empire, crumbling under its own size, its communications and resources stretched to the utmost, the mystery-religions came into their own. Rites of initiation, the sharing of secret knowledge, offered to people of all classes an escape from the perplexities of life, a retreat into a closed circle of the elect where they might feel that their transformed personalities had some significance. Who can know how many weary souls there were who strayed into the Church through rumours of a secret rite of purification, of a shared meal that conferred wisdom, and who remained to comprehend the fullness of the Godhead, a belonging greater than they had ever imagined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought independent of experience, is so admirably ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26539]]></link><description><![CDATA[How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought independent of experience, is so admirably adapted to the objects of reality?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fairest action of our human life Is scorning to revenge an injury;  For who forgives without a further ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16497]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fairest action of our human life Is scorning to revenge an injury;  For who forgives without a further strife,   His adversary's heart to him doth tie:    And 'tis a firmer conquest, truly said,     To win the heart than overthrow the head.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis toil's reward, that sweetens industry, As love inspires with strength the enraptur'd thrush. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62100]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis toil's reward, that sweetens industry, As love inspires with strength the enraptur'd thrush.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dancing at the Blue Iguana ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31439]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dancing at the Blue Iguana]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Law, without force, is impotent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Law, without force, is impotent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good leader needs to have a compass in his head and a bar of steelin his heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21833]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good leader needs to have a compass in his head and a bar of steelin his heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A famous man is Robin Hood The English ballad-singer's joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3703]]></link><description><![CDATA[A famous man is Robin Hood The English ballad-singer's joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nay, but Jack, such eyes! such eyes! so innocently wild! so bashfully irresolute!

But when it is taken for a veritable possessing of God, or unity with God, then it is sin, for it is in reality nothing else than a state of thorough passivity and apathy untouched by the power from on high -- a purely negative state from which (if one in arrogance calls it divine) nothing follows but blindness, failure of understanding, and a disinclination to be governed by the rules of ordinary righteousness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tempo was exactly where we wanted it.
