Compared to this stupendous mobilization of materials, of wealth, of human intellect, of human labor for the single goal of domination, all other recent human achievements pale to almost trivial significance. Our art, science, medicine, literature, music and "charitable" acts seem like mere droppings from a table on which gory feasts on the spoils of conquest have engaged the attention of a system whose appetite for rule is utterly unrestrained.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a way of transferring funds that is even faster than electronic banking.

The sword may make a whole nation of hypocrites. But to recover a soul from Satan by repentance, and to bring them from anti-Christian doctrine or worship to the Christian doctrine and worship, in the least true internal or external submission, is only worked by the all-powerful God through the sword of the Spirit in the hand of His spiritual officers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...'. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9511]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["He started hating me, cause I couldn't laugh at his jokes.
