The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  [The] doctrine of [inevitable] progress sustained our fathers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  [The] doctrine of [inevitable] progress sustained our fathers in the carrying of capitalistic democratic culture to most parts of the globe. Its core was the conviction that, in thus extending the range of western liberal culture and developing its assumptions, they were in effect establishing on earth that which would grow into the kingdom of God. Some put it sharply but un-Biblically: "building the kingdom"; others, of a more secular turn of mind, echoed J. A. Symonds' hymn, "These Things Shall Be". That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture that was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flattery is all right so long as you don't inhale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16153]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flattery is all right so long as you don't inhale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She concedes that she's the one she pleases. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27884]]></link><description><![CDATA[She concedes that she's the one she pleases.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The last and highest result of prayer is not the securing of this or that gift, the avoiding of this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6748]]></link><description><![CDATA[The last and highest result of prayer is not the securing of this or that gift, the avoiding of this or that danger.

Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain idea that every man is bound to be a critic of life, and to let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things, or projecting some plan for its general improvement. And the other half comes from the greedy notion that a man's life does consist, after all, in the abundance of things that he possesseth, and that it is, somehow or other, more respectable and pious to be always at work trying to make a larger living, than it is to lie on your back in the green pastures and beside the still waters, and thank God that you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1798]]></link><description><![CDATA[Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Many drugs are prescribed outside their official recommendations, she says.
