Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith.

Thus, in spite of himself, the scoffing man of words becomes the precursor of a new faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God save the mark! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51296]]></link><description><![CDATA[God save the mark!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This new LCD projector rounds out the Mitsubishi product line and offers our dealers more choices for their installations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35048]]></link><description><![CDATA[This new LCD projector rounds out the Mitsubishi product line and offers our dealers more choices for their installations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternatives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1772]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternatives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is wretched business to be digging a well just as thirst is mastering you. [Lat., Miserum est opus,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61299]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is wretched business to be digging a well just as thirst is mastering you. [Lat., Miserum est opus,  Igitur demum fodere puteum, ubi sitis fauces tedet.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Attitude is your acceptance of the natural laws, or your rejection of the natural laws. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3449]]></link><description><![CDATA[Attitude is your acceptance of the natural laws, or your rejection of the natural laws.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1406]]></link><description><![CDATA[The freethinking of one age is the common sense of the next.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had a step in the right direction, but I don't accept moral victories or anything like that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40719]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had a step in the right direction, but I don't accept moral victories or anything like that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But I still don't have a clear idea of what my voice is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39593]]></link><description><![CDATA[But I still don't have a clear idea of what my voice is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woman is not born: she is made.

Quite frequently he is voicing a solid conviction, a genuine facet of hope. At present his vision is severely limited, and that is probably just as well, if his sanity is to be preserved. But when he is free of the limitations of temporal life, he has every hope of being able to know as surely as he is at present known.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death.
