This, I believe, is partly due to man's enormous technical successes, which make him feel master of the human situation. But it is also partly due to our scholars and experts. By the time they have finished with their dissection of the New Testament and with their explaining away as "myth" all that they find disquieting or unacceptable to the modern mind, the Christian way of life is little more than humanism with a slight tinge of religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The crucial thing for genocide is that you have to show a special kind of intent to implement genocide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37247]]></link><description><![CDATA[The crucial thing for genocide is that you have to show a special kind of intent to implement genocide.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All science is concerned with the relationship of cause and effect.

The Lion agreed to assist the Wild Ass with his strength, while the Wild Ass gave the Lion the benefit of his greater speed. When they had taken as many beasts as their necessities required, the Lion undertook to distribute the prey, and for this purpose divided it into three shares. I will take the first share, he said, because I am King: and the second share, as a partner with you in the chase: and the third share (believe me) will be a source of great evil to you, unless you willingly resign it to me, and set off as fast as you can. Might makes right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shall I never see a bachelor of threescore again? -Much Ado about Nothing.

We invoke the true God for the Emperor. Even if he persecute us, we are bidden to pray for them that persecute us, as you can read in our books, which are not hidden, which you often get hold of. We pray for him because the Empire lies between us and the end of the world. We count the Caesars to be God's vice-regents and swear by their safety (not by their genius, as required). As for loyalty, Caesar really is more ours than yours; for it was our God who set him up. It is for his own good, that we refuse to call the Emperor God; Father of his Country is a better title. No Christian has ever made a plot against a Caesar; the famous conspirators and assassins were heathen, one and all. Piety, religion, faith are our best offering of loyalty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true gentleman is subtly poised between an inner tact and an outer defense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17363]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true gentleman is subtly poised between an inner tact and an outer defense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The face of the enemy frightens me only when I see how much it resembles me ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13807]]></link><description><![CDATA[The face of the enemy frightens me only when I see how much it resembles me]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stolen kisses are always sweeter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50407]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stolen kisses are always sweeter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The unbought grace of life, the cheap defence of nations, the nurse of manly sentiment and heroic enterprise, is gone! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12518]]></link><description><![CDATA[The unbought grace of life, the cheap defence of nations, the nurse of manly sentiment and heroic enterprise, is gone!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our enemies will tell the rest with pleasure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13850]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our enemies will tell the rest with pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't learn to laugh at troubles, you won't have anything to laugh at when you grow old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20104]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't learn to laugh at troubles, you won't have anything to laugh at when you grow old.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I get on that field, I am faster than any defensive back there.
