We proceeded to live these propositions, though we would not have stated them as blandly as I set them forth here:   Man is inherently good.  Individual man can carve out his own salvation with the help of education and society through progressively better government.  Reality and values worth searching for lie in the material world that science is steadily teaching us to analyze, catalogue, and measure. While we do not deny the existence of inner values, we relegate them to second place.  The purpose of life is happiness, [which] we define in terms of enjoyable activity, friends, and the accumulation of material objects.  The pain and evil of life -- such as ignorance, poverty, selfishness, hatred, greed, lust for power -- are caused by factors in the external world; therefore, the cure lies in the reforming of human institutions and the bettering of environmental conditions.  As science and technology remove poverty and lift from us the burden of physical existence, we shall automatically become finer persons, seeing for ourselves the value of living the Golden Rule.  In time, the rest of the world will appreciate the demonstration that the American way of life is best. They will then seek for themselves the good life of freedom and prosperity. This will be the greatest impetus toward an end of global conflict.  The way to get along with people is to beware of religious dictums and dogma. The ideal is to be a nice person and to live by the Creed of Tolerance. Thus we offend few people. We live and let live. This is the American Way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...Some of reports have called for increases of 10,000; others between 20,000 and 40,000.

I have no doubt that it makes for dignity; I have also no coubt that there are times when it makes for complete irrelevance; for, if there is one thing that is true of religion it is that it must always be expressible in contemporary terms.

Ah! but there is still One whose faith in you has never wavered. And how wonderful it is that that one should be Jesus Christ!...

This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not like 'but yet, it does allay The good precedence: fie upon 'but yet,'  'But yet' is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12759]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not like 'but yet, it does allay The good precedence: fie upon 'but yet,'  'But yet' is as a jailer to bring forth   Some monstrous malefactor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ability will never catch up with the demand for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/76]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ability will never catch up with the demand for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/76</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing enduring in life for a woman except what she builds in a man's heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27209]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing enduring in life for a woman except what she builds in a man's heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is an art of reading, as well as an art of thinking, and an art of writing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3176]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is an art of reading, as well as an art of thinking, and an art of writing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think being funny is not anyone's first choice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55120]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think being funny is not anyone's first choice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out of too much learning become mad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Out of too much learning become mad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a place in childhood that I remember well, And there a voice of sweetest tone bright fairy tales ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43204]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a place in childhood that I remember well, And there a voice of sweetest tone bright fairy tales did tell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So we've been preparing for this and all we're ready to do is do more of what we've been doing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39292]]></link><description><![CDATA[So we've been preparing for this and all we're ready to do is do more of what we've been doing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To receive gifts is to lose freedom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17456]]></link><description><![CDATA[To receive gifts is to lose freedom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17456</guid></item></channel></rss>
