Both in the marketplace and on the battlefield men who set their hearts on toys have often displayed unequal initiative and drive.

Life is plurality, death is uniformity. By suppressing differences and pecularities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death. The ideal of a single civilization for everyone, implicit in the cult of progress and technique, impoverishes and mutilates us. Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[World-wide practice of Conservation and the fair and continued access by all nations to the resources they need are the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9851]]></link><description><![CDATA[World-wide practice of Conservation and the fair and continued access by all nations to the resources they need are the two indispensable foundations of continuous plenty and of permanent peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness.
