We modern pagans have to choose between that divine order, and the grey, dead, irresponsible, chaotic universe of atheism. And the tragedy is that we may make that choice without knowing it -- not by clear conviction but by vague drifting, by losing interest in Him. A nominal deist will say: "Yes, of course there must be some sort of Force that created the galaxy. But it's childish to imagine that It has any personal relation to me!" In that belief atheism exists as an undiagnosed disease. The man who says, "One God," and does not care, is an atheist in his heart. The man who speaks of God and will not recognize him in the burning bush -- that man is an atheist, though he speak with the tongues of men or angels, and appear in his pew every Sunday, and make large contributions to the church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once you get people laughing, they're listening and you can tell them almost anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52495]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once you get people laughing, they're listening and you can tell them almost anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I divide all readers into two classes: those who read to remember and those who read to forget. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4650]]></link><description><![CDATA[I divide all readers into two classes: those who read to remember and those who read to forget.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These faces in the mirrors Are but the shadows and phantoms of myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14862]]></link><description><![CDATA[These faces in the mirrors Are but the shadows and phantoms of myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The richest man is not he who has the most, but he who needs the least. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62735]]></link><description><![CDATA[The richest man is not he who has the most, but he who needs the least.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We may outrun, By violent swiftness, that which we run at,  And lose by over-running. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51355]]></link><description><![CDATA[We may outrun, By violent swiftness, that which we run at,  And lose by over-running.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The 'missing link' between ape and man will probably never be found- because it was an embryo. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56891]]></link><description><![CDATA[The 'missing link' between ape and man will probably never be found- because it was an embryo.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Up until now, the security situation across the country remains safe and under control.

And they are present in such a way that he not only conceives them through ideas, as we have before us those things which our minds remember, but he truly looks upon them and discerns them as things placed before him. And this foreknowledge is extended throughout the universe to every creature. We call predestination God's eternal decree, by which he determined with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is foreordained for some, eternal damnation for others. Therefore, as any man has been created to one or the other of these ends, we speak of him as predestined to life or death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty is about perception, not about make-up.
