When you make a choice, you mobilizevast human energies and resources which otherwise go untapped. All toooften people fail to focus their choices upon results and therefore theirchoices are ineffective. If you limit your choices only to what seemspossible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want,and all that is left is a compromise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people can stay longer in an hour than others can in a week. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people can stay longer in an hour than others can in a week.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our mission ... is to help people better understand and value their freedoms so they can protect and defend them. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our mission ... is to help people better understand and value their freedoms so they can protect and defend them.

Logic is designed to give inevitably true results starting from known true -- or assumed-to-be-true -- premises. Logic is a wonderful tool when we want only logical conclusions. We should not reject such a machine merely because it is not equipped to handle all of reality. The scientist who commits himself to use a logic machine is doing wisely, qua scientist, for use on data of science. But if he feeds into that machine convictions that there is not God, or ignores God because He is not in his corpus of data, and then draws from his logic the conclusion that God does not exist, his conclusion is irrelevant. Logic is a tool; it should not be made into a religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689 Continuing a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6324]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689 Continuing a short series on Romans 8: Romans 8:14,16.

It seems hard to realize that that is so, but so it is. If your theology does not make you more loving, it has not Christianized you and to that extent is not a Christian theology... All ecclesiasticism and all doctrinalizing are in order to form character, and the soul of character is love. Preach the truth in love, and for the development of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on topics of Christian apologetics:  The philosopher [Immanuel] Kant was right long ago to notice ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6248]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on topics of Christian apologetics:  The philosopher [Immanuel] Kant was right long ago to notice that moral activity implies a religious dimension. The atheist [Friedrich] Nietzsche also saw the point and argued forcefully that the person who gives up belief in God must be consistent and give up Christian morals as well, because the former is the foundation of the latter. He had nothing but contempt for fellow humanists who refused to see that Christian morality cannot survive the loss of its theological moorings, except as habit or as lifeless tradition. As Ayn Rand also sees so clearly, love of the neighbor cannot be rationally justified within the framework of secular humanism. Love for one's neighbor is an ethical implication of the Christian position. This suggests to me that the world's deepest problem is not economic or technological, but spiritual and moral. What is missing is the vision of reality that can sustain the neighbor-oriented life style that is so urgently needed in our world today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The charm dissolves apace; And as the morning steals upon the night,  Melting the darkness, so their rising senses ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11089]]></link><description><![CDATA[The charm dissolves apace; And as the morning steals upon the night,  Melting the darkness, so their rising senses   Begin to chase the ignorant fumes that mantle    Their clearer reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First he wrought, and afterward he taught. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25379]]></link><description><![CDATA[First he wrought, and afterward he taught.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is my greatest enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time is my greatest enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63919]]></link><description><![CDATA[A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worship of a hero is transcendent admiration of a great man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Worship of a hero is transcendent admiration of a great man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The battle is over when the foe has fallen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50767]]></link><description><![CDATA[The battle is over when the foe has fallen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All celebrated people lose dignity on a close view. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12288]]></link><description><![CDATA[All celebrated people lose dignity on a close view.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two things a person should never be angry at, what they can help, and what they cannot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66227]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two things a person should never be angry at, what they can help, and what they cannot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness.
