Here, in 1878, Engels apodictically announced that military weapons are "now so perfected that no further progress of any revolutionizing influence is any longer possible." Henceforth "all further [technological] progress is by and large indifferent for land warfare. The age of evolution is in this regard essentially closed." This complacent conclusion shows in what the achievement of the innovator consists: he accomplishes what other people believe to be unthinkable and unfeasible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17040]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are driven by five genetic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's why men need instant replays in sports.

They now knew him no more by sight and after the flesh; they had His Spirit. And this "having" is both a real possession and a foretaste, an earnest of what is in store...   The Spirit assures us that we are heirs of a kingdom yet to be revealed (Rom. 8:17). The Spirit wars in us against the flesh (Gal. 5:17) and gives us assurance that even our mortal bodies shall be quickened (Rom. 8:11). Meanwhile the very mark of the Spirit's presence is that we groan waiting for our adoption (Rom. 8:23) and hoping for that which we do not yet see (Rom. 8:24,25).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have loved my friends as I do virtue, my soul, my God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16757]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have loved my friends as I do virtue, my soul, my God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Paines to get, care to keep, feare to lose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49702]]></link><description><![CDATA[Paines to get, care to keep, feare to lose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am the Roman Emperor, and am above grammar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27647]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am the Roman Emperor, and am above grammar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All conservation of wildness is self-defeating, for to cherish we must see and fondle, and when enough have seen and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61579]]></link><description><![CDATA[All conservation of wildness is self-defeating, for to cherish we must see and fondle, and when enough have seen and fondled, there is no wilderness left to cherish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Earnings are driving the testing of the top end for the S&P 500, but geopolitical issues are here to stay ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Earnings are driving the testing of the top end for the S&P 500, but geopolitical issues are here to stay for some time.
