Again and again in the Pentateuch, the psalms, the prophets, and the subsequent writings which derive from them, the claim is made that the creator of the entire universe has chosen to live uniquely on a small ridge called Mount Zion, near the eastern edge of the Judean hill-country. The sheer absurdity of this claim, from the standpoint of any other worldview (not least that of Enlightenment philosophy), is staggering. The fact that Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Egypt again, Syria and now Rome had made explicit mockery of the idea did not shake this conviction, but only intensified it. This was what Jewish monotheism looked like on the ground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discretion of speech is more than eloquence, and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1359]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discretion of speech is more than eloquence, and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words, or in good order.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, leave this barren spot to me! Spare, woodman, space the beechen tree! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59675]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, leave this barren spot to me! Spare, woodman, space the beechen tree!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take thou some new infection to thy eye, And the rank poison of the old will die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51465]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take thou some new infection to thy eye, And the rank poison of the old will die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3247]]></link><description><![CDATA[The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mouth of a perfectly happy man is filled with beer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3894]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mouth of a perfectly happy man is filled with beer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a dangerous and idle dream to think that the state can become rule by philosophers turned kings or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47650]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a dangerous and idle dream to think that the state can become rule by philosophers turned kings or scientists turned commissars. For if philosophers become kings or scientists commissars, they become politicians, and the powers given to the state are powers given to men who are rulers of states, men subject to all the limitations and temptations of their dangerous craft. Unless this is borne in mind, there will be a dangerous optimistic tendency to sweep aside doubts and fears as irrelevant, since, in the state that the projectors have in mind, power will be exercised by men of a wisdom and degree of moral virtue that we have not yet seen. It won't. It will be exercised by men who will be men first and rulers next and scientists and saints long after.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you change partners every time it gets tough or you get a little dissatisfied, then I don't think you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65009]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you change partners every time it gets tough or you get a little dissatisfied, then I don't think you get the richness that's available in a long-term relationship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be it not in thy care.
