And when a person does not understand the creation of resources and wealth, the only intellectual alternative is to believe that increasing wealth must be at the cost of someone else. This belief that our good fortune must be an exploitation of others may be the taproot of false prophecy about doom that our evil ways must bring upon us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed [and hence clamorous to be led to safety] ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47035]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed [and hence clamorous to be led to safety] by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambition has one heel nailed in well, though she stretch her fingers to touch the heavens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2359]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambition has one heel nailed in well, though she stretch her fingers to touch the heavens.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A garden requires patient labor and attention.

Since it happened only once, it is by Hume's standards infinitely improbable. But then, the whole history of the Earth has also happened only once: is it therefore incredible? Hence the difficulty, which weighs upon Christian and atheist alike, of estimating the probability of the Incarnation. It is like asking whether the existence of nature herself is intrinsically probable. That is why it is easier to argue, on historical grounds, that the Incarnation actually occurred than to show, on philosophical grounds, the probability of its occurrence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I speak of the gifted listener, I am thinking of the nonmusician primarily, of the listener who intends to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43512]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I speak of the gifted listener, I am thinking of the nonmusician primarily, of the listener who intends to retain his amateur status.
