We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith.

Thus, in spite of himself, the scoffing man of words becomes the precursor of a new faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48672]]></link><description><![CDATA[There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why, I'd like nothing better than to achieve some bold adventure, worthy of our trip. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29572]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why, I'd like nothing better than to achieve some bold adventure, worthy of our trip.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["He started hating me, cause I couldn't laugh at his jokes.

It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic act which it inspires. In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Questions show the mind's range, and answers its subtlety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52786]]></link><description><![CDATA[Questions show the mind's range, and answers its subtlety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[were a betting man....yes, you will see Phoenix in this movie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29750]]></link><description><![CDATA[were a betting man....yes, you will see Phoenix in this movie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29750</guid></item></channel></rss>
