Even though much of what we have exists only as a series of ones and zeroes somewhere in the information sphere, we do get paper copies and we should hang on to those. The movie 'The Net,' I think, makes a very intriguing point, about this very computer literate protagonist who has few human connections, and this is precisely the reason she's vulnerable to the kind of attack she suffers. It seems to me that if we keep that in mind we'll be well served.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At times truth may not seem probable. [Fr., Le vrai peut quelquefois n'etre pas vraisemblable.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59807]]></link><description><![CDATA[At times truth may not seem probable. [Fr., Le vrai peut quelquefois n'etre pas vraisemblable.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the worst of madness to learn what has to be unlearnt. [Lat., Extremae est dementiae discere dediscenda.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24539]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the worst of madness to learn what has to be unlearnt. [Lat., Extremae est dementiae discere dediscenda.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tolerance and celebration of individual differences is the fire that fuels lasting love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/940]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tolerance and celebration of individual differences is the fire that fuels lasting love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is the ship carrying living memories to the future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19372]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is the ship carrying living memories to the future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suppose Christianity is not a religion but a way of life, a falling in love with God, and, through Him, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7593]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suppose Christianity is not a religion but a way of life, a falling in love with God, and, through Him, a falling in love with our fellows. Of course, such a way is hard and costly, but it is also joyous and rewarding even in the here-and-now. People who follow that Way know beyond all possible argument that they are in harmony with the purpose of God, that Christ is with them and in them as they set about His work in our disordered world. If anyone thinks this is perilous and revolutionary teaching, so much the better. That is exactly what they thought of the teaching of Jesus Christ. The light He brought to bear upon human affairs is almost unbearably brilliant: but it is the light of Truth, and in that light human problems can be solved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ethics must begin at the top of an organization.
