This is part of the responsibility we accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the factory we make cosmetics; in the store we sell hope. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22187]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the factory we make cosmetics; in the store we sell hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every game we had was important to stay in the hunt.

This is not a specially religious mistake. We think of supernaturalism when faith is mentioned, but the naturalistic description of the world also operates on assumptions that require a faith as robust as does the most soaring mysticism. The usual efforts to skirt faith beg all the questions there are. A psychiatrist, for instance, who points out to you that you believe in God the Father because you need a father, or that you became a missionary to expiate your guilt feelings, may be quite correct, but he has not touched on the prior question as to whether there is, in fact, a cosmic father figure who is the archetype of all other fathers, or whether there is an evangel worth spending your life promulgating.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Traveler and His DogA Traveler about to set out on a journey saw his Dog stand at the door ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1520]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Traveler and His DogA Traveler about to set out on a journey saw his Dog stand at the door stretching himself.
