Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe God gives you the grace to do what you need to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64783]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe God gives you the grace to do what you need to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can say nothing but what hath been said . . .

The atheist [Friedrich] Nietzsche also saw the point and argued forcefully that the person who gives up belief in God must be consistent and give up Christian morals as well, because the former is the foundation of the latter. He had nothing but contempt for fellow humanists who refused to see that Christian morality cannot survive the loss of its theological moorings, except as habit or as lifeless tradition. As Ayn Rand also sees so clearly, love of the neighbor cannot be rationally justified within the framework of secular humanism. Love for one's neighbor is an ethical implication of the Christian position. This suggests to me that the world's deepest problem is not economic or technological, but spiritual and moral. What is missing is the vision of reality that can sustain the neighbor-oriented life style that is so urgently needed in our world today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When she would write a song, she would call me and say, 'Do you want to hear something?
