For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down."  He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke.  I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For now the field is not far off Where we must give the world a proof  Of deeds, not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11672]]></link><description><![CDATA[For now the field is not far off Where we must give the world a proof  Of deeds, not words.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The government is becoming the family of last resort. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27280]]></link><description><![CDATA[The government is becoming the family of last resort.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I personally am waiting to celebrate.

It's the point where free speech begins to collide with the right to privacy. I don't think there are any other conditions to free speech.

You may attribute miracles to Him, but not nonsense. This is no limit to His power. If you choose to say, "God can give a creature free will and at the same time withhold free will from it", you have not succeeded in saying anything about God: meaningless combinations of words do not suddenly acquire meaning simply because we prefix to them the two other words "God can." It remains true that all things are possible with God: the intrinsic impossibilities are not things but nonentities. It is no more possible for God than for the weakest of His creatures to carry out both of two mutually exclusive alternatives -- not because His power meets an obstacle, but because nonsense remains nonsense even when we talk it about God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without economy none can be rich, and with it few will be poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without economy none can be rich, and with it few will be poor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like the music of Beethoven, Bach and Charlie Parker, the Beatles' music was built to last - proving that a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like the music of Beethoven, Bach and Charlie Parker, the Beatles' music was built to last - proving that a thing of beauty is a joy forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is simply the willingness to be afraid and act anyway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10264]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is simply the willingness to be afraid and act anyway.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10264</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Calvin, renewer of the Church, 1564  When they inquire into predestination, they are penetrating the sacred ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7627]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Calvin, renewer of the Church, 1564  When they inquire into predestination, they are penetrating the sacred precincts of divine wisdom. If anyone with carefree assurance breaks into this place, he will not succeed in satisfying his curiosity and he will enter a labyrinth from which he can find no exit. For it is not right for man unrestrainedly to search out things that the Lord has willed to be hidden in Himself; nor is it right for him to investigate from eternity that sublime wisdom, which God would have us revere but not understand, in order that through this also He should fill us with wonder. He has set forth by His Word the secrets of His will that He has decided to reveal to us. These He decided to reveal in so far as He foresaw that they would concern and benefit us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you steal ideas from one source, that's plagiarism, but if you steal ideas from more than one source, that's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20284]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you steal ideas from one source, that's plagiarism, but if you steal ideas from more than one source, that's research.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is pleasant.
