However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47432]]></link><description><![CDATA[A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099  The glory of God is a living man; and the life of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099  The glory of God is a living man; and the life of man consists in beholding God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone ought to bear patiently the results of his own conduct. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone ought to bear patiently the results of his own conduct.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's really good.

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[Weariness Can snore upon the flint when resty sloth  Finds the down pillow hard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51244]]></link><description><![CDATA[Weariness Can snore upon the flint when resty sloth  Finds the down pillow hard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I meant, said Ipslore bitterly, what is there in this world that truly makes living worth while?

In my childhood we were always assured that the brain was a telephone switchboard. ('What else could it be?') I was amused to see that Sherrington, the great British neuroscientist, thought that the brain worked like a telegraph system. Freud often compared the brain to hydraulic and electro-magnetic systems. Leibniz compared it to a mill, and I am told some of the ancient Greeks thought the brain functions like a catapult.
