He has enough light to light him on his way, but there are a great many gaps in his knowledge. When he says, "One day we shall understand", he is by no means always uttering a pious platitude. Quite frequently he is voicing a solid conviction, a genuine facet of hope. At present his vision is severely limited, and that is probably just as well, if his sanity is to be preserved. But when he is free of the limitations of temporal life, he has every hope of being able to know as surely as he is at present known.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for tobe what they choose for themselves, without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21513]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for tobe what they choose for themselves, without any insistence that theysatisfy you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14731]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
