I believe that humanity is master of its own fate... Before we can change direction, we have to question many of the assumptions underlying our current philosophy. Assumptions like bigger is better; you can't stop progress; no speed is too fast; globalization is good. Then we have to replace them with some different assumptions: small is beautiful; roots and traditions are worth preserving; variety is the spice of life; the only work worth doing is meaningful work; biodiversity is the necessary pre-condition for human survival.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20257]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully have been kindness, beauty, and truth]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like Theon (i.e., a calumniating disposition). [Lat., Dens Theonia.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5187]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like Theon (i.e., a calumniating disposition). [Lat., Dens Theonia.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16562]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Irenæus, Bishop of Lyons, Teacher, Martyr, c.200   It was my generation, and the generation that preceded ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Irenæus, Bishop of Lyons, Teacher, Martyr, c.200   It was my generation, and the generation that preceded me, that forgot. The younger generation is not primarily to be blamed. Those who are struggling today, those who are far away and doing that which is completely contrary to the Christian conscience, are not first to be blamed. It is my generation, and the generation that preceded me, who turned away. Today we are left, not only with a religion and a church without meaning, but... with a culture without meaning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, so they have internet on computers now! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22955]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, so they have internet on computers now!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One size does not fit all in any regulation.

This sets a fashion which others imitate. Once the richer classes have adopted a certain way of living, producers have an incentive to improve the methods of manufacture so that soon it is possible for the poorer classes to follow suit. Thus luxury furthers progress. Innovation "is the whim of an elite before it becomes a need of the public. The luxury today is the necessity of tomorrow." Luxury is the roadmaker of progress: it develops latent needs and makes people discontented. In so far as they think consistently, moralists who condemn luxury must recommend the comparatively desireless existence of the wild life roaming in the woods as the ultimate ideal of civilized life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On all the peaks lies peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27967]]></link><description><![CDATA[On all the peaks lies peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One is only afraid of the people one cares for. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5248]]></link><description><![CDATA[One is only afraid of the people one cares for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time I try to define a perfectly stable person, I am appalled by the dullness of that person. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22262]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every time I try to define a perfectly stable person, I am appalled by the dullness of that person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was good to get them under our belt.
