It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19422]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved.

The way to keep it in peace is to enter into it by means of inward silence. When you see yourself more sharply assaulted, retreat into that region of peace; and you will find a fortress that will enable you to triumph over all your enemies, visible and invisible, and over all their snares and temptations. Within your own soul resides divine aid, and sovereign succour. Retreat within it, and all will be quiet, secure, peaceable, and calm. Thus, by means of mental silence, which can only be attained with divine help, you may look for tranquility in tumult: for solitude in company; for light in darkness; for forgetfulness in pressures: for vigour in despondency; for courage in fear; for resistance in temptation; and for quiet in tribulation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53348]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common.
