He has enough light to light him on his way, but there are a great many gaps in his knowledge. When he says, "One day we shall understand", he is by no means always uttering a pious platitude. Quite frequently he is voicing a solid conviction, a genuine facet of hope. At present his vision is severely limited, and that is probably just as well, if his sanity is to be preserved. But when he is free of the limitations of temporal life, he has every hope of being able to know as surely as he is at present known.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people wear their smile like a disguise.

Our argument does not claim that evidences are so clear that faith is not needed. We do intend to imply, however, that the choice of a set of assumptions is a moral choice. Adherence to an epistemology is not something which merely "happens to" a person, but instead it reflects a component of his moral development. In some sense he is, in my judgment, morally responsible for adopting an epistemology even though it can be neither proved nor disproved to the satisfaction of those who oppose it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who labours, prays. [Lat., Qui laborat, orat.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23918]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who labours, prays. [Lat., Qui laborat, orat.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The shortest follies are the best. [Fr., Les plus courtes folies sont les meilleures.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16331]]></link><description><![CDATA[The shortest follies are the best. [Fr., Les plus courtes folies sont les meilleures.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Violet! sweet violet! Thine eyes are full of tears;  Are they wet   Even yet    ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60715]]></link><description><![CDATA[Violet! sweet violet! Thine eyes are full of tears;  Are they wet   Even yet    With the thought of other years?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accept these grateful tears! for thee thy flow, For thee, that ever felt another's woe! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58802]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accept these grateful tears! for thee thy flow, For thee, that ever felt another's woe!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joy comes, grief goes, we know not how. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65377]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joy comes, grief goes, we know not how.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So of cheerfulness, or a good temper, the more it is spent, the more it remains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5826]]></link><description><![CDATA[So of cheerfulness, or a good temper, the more it is spent, the more it remains.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And it is easy to believe you are not good enough if you listen to everybody else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41253]]></link><description><![CDATA[And it is easy to believe you are not good enough if you listen to everybody else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An intemperate patient makes a harsh doctor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51586]]></link><description><![CDATA[An intemperate patient makes a harsh doctor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65448]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes in our confusion, we see not the world as it is, but the world though eyes blurred by the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1468]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes in our confusion, we see not the world as it is, but the world though eyes blurred by the mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are a Spanish radio station company that goes after Hispanics that are bilingual.
