If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We live in illusion and the appearance of things.

We must affirm both the mystery and God. The paradox remained, but now, at least, Job knew that it belonged there -- that it is built into the moral and physical orders, and into the very nature of God as He has permitted us humans to perceive Him. In a world where the universal principle is cause/effect, the book of Job reminds us that the principle is a reflection of the mysterious, self-revealing God. It is subsumed under Him, however, and He cannot be subsumed under it. The God-speeches remind us that a Person, not a principle, is Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that lies with the dogs, riseth with fleas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49464]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that lies with the dogs, riseth with fleas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is in the character if very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14035]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is in the character if very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2244]]></link><description><![CDATA[No more duty can be urged upon those who are entering the great theater of life than simple loyalty to their best convictions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The strictest law sometimes becomes the severest injustice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64849]]></link><description><![CDATA[The strictest law sometimes becomes the severest injustice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So enjoy the pleasures of the hour as not to spoil those that are to follow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51181]]></link><description><![CDATA[So enjoy the pleasures of the hour as not to spoil those that are to follow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60600]]></link><description><![CDATA[The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a lot we lost when we stopped writing letters.
