He's not someone you want to take home to meet your mother, necessarily. This is a guy in search of truth. Incidentally, that truth one day could save your life or the life of someone you love.

With the exception of the book of Daniel, which the Jews themselves never classed among the prophecies, and an obscure text of Jeremiah, there is not a passage in all the Old Testament which favours the notion of a temporal Messiah. What moral object was there, for which such a Messiah should come? What could he have been but a sort of virtuous Napoleon?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A humanist is anyone who rejects the attempt to describe or account for man wholly on the basis of physics, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19979]]></link><description><![CDATA[A humanist is anyone who rejects the attempt to describe or account for man wholly on the basis of physics, chemistry or animal behaviour.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a creature That dotes on Cassio, as 'tis the strumpet's plague  To beguile many and be beguiled ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58909]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a creature That dotes on Cassio, as 'tis the strumpet's plague  To beguile many and be beguiled by one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am sure care's an enemy to life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51523]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am sure care's an enemy to life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Swiftly our pleasures glide away, Our hearts recall the distant day  With many sighs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50579]]></link><description><![CDATA[Swiftly our pleasures glide away, Our hearts recall the distant day  With many sighs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is so conceited and timid to be ashamed of one's mistakes.
