It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you live in the river you should make friends with the crocodile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/575]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you live in the river you should make friends with the crocodile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst evils which mankind has ever had to endure were inflicted by bad governments.

"In all their afflictions, He was afflicted." The relation of God to the woes of the world is not that of a mere spectator. The New Testament goes further, and says that God is love. But that is not love which, in the presence of acute suffering, can stand outside and aloof. The doctrine that Christ is the image of the unseen God means that God does not stand outside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13774]]></link><description><![CDATA[That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What may be done at any time will be done at no time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51881]]></link><description><![CDATA[What may be done at any time will be done at no time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even speed, when we are anxious, seems like delay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51590]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even speed, when we are anxious, seems like delay.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Somewhere on this globe, every ten seconds, there is a woman giving birth to a child.
