Rather does he create Him in the image of his cravings and dreams- in the image of what man wants to be. God making could be part of the process by which a society realizes its aspirations: it first embodies them in the conception of a particular God, and then proceeds to imitate that God. The confidence requisite for attempting the unprecedented is most effectively generated by the fiction that in realizing the new we are imitating rather than originating.

She not only abstained from beating him, but encouraged him. He next time stole a cloak and brought it to her, and she again commended him. The Youth, advanced to adulthood, proceeded to steal things of still greater value. At last he was caught in the very act, and having his hands bound behind him, was led away to the place of public execution. His Mother followed in the crowd and violently beat her breast in sorrow, whereupon the young man said, I wish to say something to my Mother in her ear. She came close to him, and he quickly seized her ear with his teeth and bit it off. The Mother upbraided him as an unnatural child, whereon he replied, Ah! if you had beaten me when I first stole and brought to you that lesson-book, I should not have come to this, nor have been thus led to a disgraceful death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best argument is that which seems merely an explanation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3087]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best argument is that which seems merely an explanation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For what is done or learned by one class of women becomes, by virtue of their common womanhood, the property ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22730]]></link><description><![CDATA[For what is done or learned by one class of women becomes, by virtue of their common womanhood, the property of all women.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Capitalism needs to function like a game of tug-of-war.
