The sensitive visitor to the mesas of Los Alamos is almost sure to meditate on the experience of that gifted man, Klaus Fuchs. Though his work in the laboratories was outstanding, his decision concerning the use of what he knew was disastrous. What if, in addition to his scientific competence, the younger Fuchs had shared something of the Christian conviction of his father, Emil Fuchs? Much of the subsequent history of our earth might then have been different.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are already witnessing major strains in many of our developing countries, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36693]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are already witnessing major strains in many of our developing countries,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The consciousness of being deemed dead, is next to the presumable unpleasantness of being so in reality.

What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine? The rule of fifty-one per cent is a convenience, it is for certain matters a satisfactory political device, it is for others the lesser of two evils, and for others it is acceptable because we do not know any less troublesome method of obtaining a political decision. But it may easily become an absurd tyranny if we regard it worshipfully, as though it were more than a political device. We have lost all sense of its true meaning when we imagine that the opinion of fifty-one per cent is in some high fashion the true opinion of the whole hundred per cent, or indulge in the sophistry that the rule of a majority is based upon the ultimate equality of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are worthless fowl, hatched from unlucky eggs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50529]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are worthless fowl, hatched from unlucky eggs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you said good-bye to me tonight, There would still be music left to write. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25946]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you said good-bye to me tonight, There would still be music left to write.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16845]]></link><description><![CDATA[If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   By constantly meditating on the goodness of God and on our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6848]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   By constantly meditating on the goodness of God and on our great deliverance from that punishment which our sins have deserved, we are brought to feel our vileness and utter unworthiness; and while we continue in this spirit of self-degradation, everything else will go on easily. We shall find ourselves advancing in our course; we shall feel the presence of God; we shall experience His love; we shall live in the enjoyment of His favour and in the hope of His glory... You often feel that your prayers scarcely reach the ceiling; but, oh, get into this humble spirit by considering how good the Lord is, and how evil you all are, and then prayer will mount on wings of faith to heaven. The sigh, the groan of a broken heart, will soon go through the ceiling up to heaven, aye, into the very bosom of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination fromambush.

This makes them self-sufficient, morose, severe judges of all those that fall short of their mortifications. And thus their self-denials do only that for them which indulgences do for other people: they withstand and hinder the operation of God upon their souls, and instead of being really self-denials, they strengthen and keep up the kingdom of self.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54808]]></link><description><![CDATA[The essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am never long, even in the society of her I love, without yearning for the company of my lamp ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25392]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am never long, even in the society of her I love, without yearning for the company of my lamp and my library.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money, which is of very uncertain value, and sometimes has no value at all and even less. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42957]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money, which is of very uncertain value, and sometimes has no value at all and even less.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Old Woman and the PhysicianAn old woman having lost the use of her eyes, called in a Physician to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1569]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Old Woman and the PhysicianAn old woman having lost the use of her eyes, called in a Physician to heal them, and made this bargain with him in the presence of witnesses: that if he should cure her blindness, he should receive from her a sum of money; but if her infirmity remained, she should give him nothing. This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My lesbianism is an act of Christian charity.
