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[In quite recent times we seem to have entered a particularly dangerous new phase of anthropological aberration, namely, a queer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6644]]></link><description><![CDATA[In quite recent times we seem to have entered a particularly dangerous new phase of anthropological aberration, namely, a queer combination of nihilism and deification. Theoretically, man is said to be nothing but an animal with a highly developed cerebrum. At the same time, it is believed of this man that he is capable by science and technical devices of achieving whatever he wants. The deification which might have been thought to be finally overcome, returns as it were from behind, in the form of a deification of technical creativity to which not much less than omnipotence is ascribed. After mankind has done away with the pseudo-religion of race and blood, it is faced with the even greater danger of a technocratical pseudo-religion. There is no room for human personality, freedom and justice in either of these new religions of divine man. But the most dangerous of all must be the one which makes man at the same time nothing and God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With a written agreement you have a prayer; with averbal agreement you have nothing but air. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22395]]></link><description><![CDATA[With a written agreement you have a prayer; with averbal agreement you have nothing but air.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seize the loud, vociferous fells, and Clashing, clanging to the pavement  Hurl them from their windy tower! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4114]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seize the loud, vociferous fells, and Clashing, clanging to the pavement  Hurl them from their windy tower!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4114</guid></item></channel></rss>
