Its story of our origins and of our end is, to say the least, unsatisfactory. To the question, "How did it all begin?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." To the question, "How will it all end?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." And to many people, the accidental life is not worth living. Moreover, the science-god has no answer to the question, "Why are we here?" and, to the question, "What moral instructions do you give us?", the science-god maintains silence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't wait to get back to New York City where at least when I walk down the streat, no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44426]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't wait to get back to New York City where at least when I walk down the streat, no one ever hesitates to tell me exactly what they think of me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   While extremely sensitive as to the slightest approach to slander, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968   While extremely sensitive as to the slightest approach to slander, you must also guard against an extreme into which some people fall who, in their desire to speak evil of no one, actually uphold and speak well of vice. If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19946]]></link><description><![CDATA[As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Teresa of Avila, Mystic, Teacher, 1582   We shall never learn to know ourselves except by endeavoring ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8333]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Teresa of Avila, Mystic, Teacher, 1582   We shall never learn to know ourselves except by endeavoring to know God; for, beholding His greatness, we realize our own littleness; His purity shows us our foulness; and by meditating upon His humility we find how very far we are from being humble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of these dancers are dancers who are on the verge of their careers, so to speak.
