To afford sympathetic entertainment to abstract ideas, to let one idea beget another, and that another, till the mind teems with them; to compare one idea with others, to weigh, to consider, evaluate, approve, respect, correct, refine; to join thought with thought like an architect till a whole edifice has been created within the mind; to travel back in imagination to the beginning of the creation and then to leap swiftly forward to the end of time; to bound upward through illimitable space and downward into the nucleus of an atom; and all this without so much as moving from our chair or opening the eyes--this is to soar above all the lower creation and come near to the angels of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The actual infinite arises in three contexts: first when it is realized in the most complete form, in a fully ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20819]]></link><description><![CDATA[The actual infinite arises in three contexts: first when it is realized in the most complete form, in a fully independent otherworldly being, in Deo, where I call it the Absolute Infinite or simply Absolute; second when it occurs in the contingent, created world; third when the mind grasps it in abstracto as a mathematical magnitude, number or order type.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's plenty of boys that will come hankering and gruvvelling around when you've got an apple, and beg the core ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2952]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's plenty of boys that will come hankering and gruvvelling around when you've got an apple, and beg the core off you; but when they're got one, and you beg for the core, and remind them how you give them a core one time, they take a mouth at you, and say thank you 'most to death, but there ain't a-going to be no core.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can be but little liberty on earth while men worship a tyrant in heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3415]]></link><description><![CDATA[There can be but little liberty on earth while men worship a tyrant in heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man of wisdom is the man of years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51872]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man of wisdom is the man of years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dogs come when they're called; cats take a message and get back to you later. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2633]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dogs come when they're called; cats take a message and get back to you later.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every hard-boiled egg is yellow inside. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every hard-boiled egg is yellow inside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Civilization is an enormous device for economizing knowledge,. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Civilization is an enormous device for economizing knowledge,.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be smart, but never show it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21855]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be smart, but never show it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I got here, it was up to the older guys to make me understand how important it was here ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42261]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I got here, it was up to the older guys to make me understand how important it was here to win championships and go to the NCAA tournament every year.

The time came when the Church had ceased to grow, except externally in wealth, power, and prestige; and these are mere outward adornments, or hampering burdens, very likely. They do not imply growth or creativeness. The time came when dogmatism, tyranny, and ignorance strangled the free intellectual activity of the Church, and worldliness destroyed its moral fruitfulness. Then joy spread her wings and flew away. The Christian graces care nothing for names and labels; where the Spirit of the Lord is, there they abide, but not in great Churches that have forgotten Him. How little of joy there is in the character of the religious bigot or fanatic, or in the prudent ecclesiastical statesman! A show of cheerfulness they may cultivate, as they often do; but it is like the crackling of thorns under a pot: we cannot mistake it for the joy of the Lord which is the strength of the true Christian.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Birthdays don't really matter much anymore ... for me, I sort of have a new birthday and that's October 2nd, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40378]]></link><description><![CDATA[Birthdays don't really matter much anymore ... for me, I sort of have a new birthday and that's October 2nd, the day I was diagnosed, ... the day we all sort of look to and mark these milestones by one year, two year, five year, 10 year.
