Theoretically, man is said to be nothing but an animal with a highly developed cerebrum. At the same time, it is believed of this man that he is capable by science and technical devices of achieving whatever he wants. The deification which might have been thought to be finally overcome, returns as it were from behind, in the form of a deification of technical creativity to which not much less than omnipotence is ascribed. After mankind has done away with the pseudo-religion of race and blood, it is faced with the even greater danger of a technocratical pseudo-religion. There is no room for human personality, freedom and justice in either of these new religions of divine man. But the most dangerous of all must be the one which makes man at the same time nothing and God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In life there are meetings which seem Like a fate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26813]]></link><description><![CDATA[In life there are meetings which seem Like a fate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The higher cost of money puts a strain on those who were highly leveraged going into it.

For verily it is not deep words that make a man holy and upright; it is a good life which maketh a man dear to God. I had rather feel contrition than be skillful in the definition thereof. If thou knewest the whole Bible, and the sayings of all the philosophers, what should this profit thee without the love and grace of God?  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ April 11, 1996 Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878  When an unskillful servant gathers many herbs, flowers, and seeds in a garden, you gather them out that are useful, and cast the rest out of sight; so Christ deals with our performances. All the ingredients of self that are in them He takes away, and adds incense to what remains, and presents it to God. This is the cause that the saints at the last day, when they meet their own duties and performances, know them not, they are so changed from what they were when they went out of their hand. "Lord, when saw we Thee naked or hungry?" So God accepts a little, and Christ makes our little a great deal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's a guy who gets up at six o'clock in the morning regardless of what time it is. (on the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57575]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's a guy who gets up at six o'clock in the morning regardless of what time it is. (on the spartan training regimen of heavyweight Andrew Golota)]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of people think that the new economy is all about the internet.

Only he who lives by the forgiveness of his sin in Jesus Christ will rightly think little of himself. He will know that his own wisdom reached the end of its tether when Jesus forgave him. He will know that it is good for his own will to be broken in the encounter with his neighbor...   But not only my neighbor's will, but also his honor is more important than mine. The desire for one's own honor hinders faith. One who seeks his own honor is no longer seeking God and his neighbor. What does it matter if I suffer injustice? Would I not have deserved even worse punishment from God, if He had not dealt with me according to His mercy?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a major victory in the war against caviar criminals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37864]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a major victory in the war against caviar criminals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the end that crowns us, not the fight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13782]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the end that crowns us, not the fight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[POINT OF VIEW Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thanklessChristmas dinner's dark and blueWhen you stop and try to see itFrom the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/205]]></link><description><![CDATA[POINT OF VIEW Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thanklessChristmas dinner's dark and blueWhen you stop and try to see itFrom the turkey's point of view.Sunday dinner isn't sunnyEaster feasts are just bad luckWhen you see it from the viewpointOf a chicken or a duck.Oh how I once loved tuna saladPork and lobsters, lamb chops tooTill I stopped and looked at dinnerFrom the dinner's point of view.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Regrets are idle; yet history is one long regret.
