Theoretically, man is said to be nothing but an animal with a highly developed cerebrum. At the same time, it is believed of this man that he is capable by science and technical devices of achieving whatever he wants. The deification which might have been thought to be finally overcome, returns as it were from behind, in the form of a deification of technical creativity to which not much less than omnipotence is ascribed. After mankind has done away with the pseudo-religion of race and blood, it is faced with the even greater danger of a technocratical pseudo-religion. There is no room for human personality, freedom and justice in either of these new religions of divine man. But the most dangerous of all must be the one which makes man at the same time nothing and God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Expenditure rises to meet income. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Expenditure rises to meet income.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nor am I ashamed, as some are, to confess my ignorance of those matters with which I am unacquainted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48856]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nor am I ashamed, as some are, to confess my ignorance of those matters with which I am unacquainted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be cheerful, if you are wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be cheerful, if you are wise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing.

For here we are dealing with processes and events which, by the nature of the case, cannot be precisely described in everyday language...  The matter is quite different with such a statement as that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary; for, whatever aspects of the Incarnation outstrip the descriptive power of ordinary language, this at least is plainly statable in it. It means that Jesus was conceived in his mother's womb without previous sexual intercourse on her part with any male human being, and this is a straightforward statement which is either true or false. To say that the birth... of Jesus Christ cannot simply be thought of as a biological event, and to add that this is [not] what the Virgin Birth means, is a plain misuse of language; and no amount of talk about the appealing character of the "Christmas myth" can validly gloss this over.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always turn to the sports page first.
