The usual efforts to skirt faith beg all the questions there are. A psychiatrist, for instance, who points out to you that you believe in God the Father because you need a father, or that you became a missionary to expiate your guilt feelings, may be quite correct, but he has not touched on the prior question as to whether there is, in fact, a cosmic father figure who is the archetype of all other fathers, or whether there is an evangel worth spending your life promulgating.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If someone ask me how to become a computer nerds, I said "Start dreaming!"; I'm serious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30138]]></link><description><![CDATA[If someone ask me how to become a computer nerds, I said "Start dreaming!"; I'm serious.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will be vice as long as there are men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60524]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will be vice as long as there are men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When rogues like these (a sparrow cries) To honours and employments rise,  I court no favor, ask no place, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10194]]></link><description><![CDATA[When rogues like these (a sparrow cries) To honours and employments rise,  I court no favor, ask no place,   For such preferment is disgrace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trick is to realize that after giving your best, there's nothing more to give. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17497]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trick is to realize that after giving your best, there's nothing more to give.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one ever died from sleeping in an unmade bed.
