You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wonder is the basis of worship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wonder is the basis of worship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just think of me and I will be there ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just think of me and I will be there]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a distinct possibility that the local taxpayer will get overwhelmed by the number of referendums. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38762]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a distinct possibility that the local taxpayer will get overwhelmed by the number of referendums.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To free the mind from the habit of competition, we must see in detail the process by which the mind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57501]]></link><description><![CDATA[To free the mind from the habit of competition, we must see in detail the process by which the mind is ensnared by competition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I am fool, it is, at least, a doubting one; and I envy no one the certainty of his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12782]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I am fool, it is, at least, a doubting one; and I envy no one the certainty of his self-approved wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the ass.

And when the dam bursts, all you can do is swim. The world of pretend is a cage, not a cocoon. We can only lie to ourselves for so long. We are tired, we are scared, denying it doesn't change the truth. Sooner or later we have to put aside our denial and face the world. Head on, guns blazing. De Nile.

Here, in 1878, Engels apodictically announced that military weapons are "now so perfected that no further progress of any revolutionizing influence is any longer possible." Henceforth "all further [technological] progress is by and large indifferent for land warfare. The age of evolution is in this regard essentially closed." This complacent conclusion shows in what the achievement of the innovator consists: he accomplishes what other people believe to be unthinkable and unfeasible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth has not special time of its own.
