This happy necessity of having recourse to Him in all our wants, instead of being grievous to us, should be our greatest consolation.

This sets a fashion which others imitate. Once the richer classes have adopted a certain way of living, producers have an incentive to improve the methods of manufacture so that soon it is possible for the poorer classes to follow suit. Thus luxury furthers progress. Innovation "is the whim of an elite before it becomes a need of the public. The luxury today is the necessity of tomorrow." Luxury is the roadmaker of progress: it develops latent needs and makes people discontented. In so far as they think consistently, moralists who condemn luxury must recommend the comparatively desireless existence of the wild life roaming in the woods as the ultimate ideal of civilized life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To affirm is to make firm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21474]]></link><description><![CDATA[To affirm is to make firm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before high school I really wanted to play basketball and play in the NBA and all of that stuff.

There was none of the indeterminate, inconclusive talking which we are apt to describe as "sowing the seed". Our idea of sowing the seed seems to be rather like scattering wheat out of a balloon... Occasionally, of course, grains of wheat scattered out of a balloon will fall upon ploughed and fertile land and will spring up and bear fruit; but it is a casual method of sowing. Paul did not scatter seeds, he planted. He so dealt with his hearers that he brought them speedily and directly to a point of decision, and then he demanded of them that they should make a choice and act on their choice. In this way he kept the moral issue clearly before them, and made them realize that his preaching was not merely a novel and interesting doctrine, but a life. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We laid it on the line. No regrets.
