And one of the games to which it is most attached is called, ''Keep tomorrow dark,'' and which is also named (by the rustics in Shropshire, I have no doubt) ''Cheat the Prophet.'' The players listen very carefully and respectfully to all that the clever men have to say about what is to happen in the next generation. The players then wait until all the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely. Then they go and do something else. That is all. For a race of simple tastes, however, it is great fun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember son, many a good story has been ruined by over verification. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1070]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember son, many a good story has been ruined by over verification.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the cold marble leapt to life a God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54934]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the cold marble leapt to life a God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles  The more vigor you need, the more gentleness and kindness you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7451]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles  The more vigor you need, the more gentleness and kindness you must combine with it.

But the constraint of which I have been speaking is of a wholly different kind; it is a constraint to be pure-minded and loyal-hearted, to be kind and true and tender, and to love my neighbour as myself. And what could possibly be meant by saying that any reality of an impersonal kind could exercise over me such a constraint as that? I have never been able to see that it could mean anything at all. I have never been able to see how any being that is not a person could possess a moral and spiritual claim over me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We frolic while 'tis May. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48992]]></link><description><![CDATA[We frolic while 'tis May.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As soon as the legitimate Lebanese government is convinced that the conditions have ripened and that Lebanon is able to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29882]]></link><description><![CDATA[As soon as the legitimate Lebanese government is convinced that the conditions have ripened and that Lebanon is able to maintain stability on its own...

They, too, stress the leap of faith and make irrationality almost a principle, dismissing the serious questions of seeking modern men as intellectual smoke-screens or diversions to conceal deeper personal problems. All this masks a desperate intellectual insecurity, barely disguised by the surrounding hedge of taboos to preserve purity. The strident intolerance of much guilt-driven evangelism betrays the same insecurity. In these circles, much that is taught has to be unlearned in the wider school of life, and it is not surprising that universities are littered with dropouts from such groups. Their non-rational, subjective faith is cruelly punctured by varsity-level questions, and many manage to survive only by resorting to a severely schizophrenic faith which they hold to be true religiously but not intellectually, historically, or scientifically.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By gold all good faith has been banished; by gold our rights are abused; the law itself is influenced by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4907]]></link><description><![CDATA[By gold all good faith has been banished; by gold our rights are abused; the law itself is influenced by gold, and soon there will be an end of every modest restraint. [Lat., Auro pulsa fides. auro venalia jura,  Aurum lex sequitur, mox sine lege pudor.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even opinion is of force enough to make itself to be espoused at the expense of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44950]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even opinion is of force enough to make itself to be espoused at the expense of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53031]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64289]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our country, however bounded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45760]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our country, however bounded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In her (Dunbar's) mind, once she gets that attitude that no one can stop her, she can play that well ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32029]]></link><description><![CDATA[In her (Dunbar's) mind, once she gets that attitude that no one can stop her, she can play that well all the time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be aware how fruitful the playful mood can be is to be immune to the propaganda of the alienated, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52259]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be aware how fruitful the playful mood can be is to be immune to the propaganda of the alienated, which extols resentment as a fuel of achievement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20294]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20294</guid></item></channel></rss>
