This is the one only band of union betwixt God and the creature... Here the necessity is absolute; nothing will do instead of this will; all contrivances of holiness, all forms of religious piety, signify nothing without this will to all goodness. For as the will to all goodness is the whole nature of God, so it must be the whole nature of every service of religion that can be acceptable to him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5535]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot explicitly link the recent terrorist attacks to the September 11 hijackers, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38746]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot explicitly link the recent terrorist attacks to the September 11 hijackers,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You give but little when you give of your possessions.

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[leave the holy sites quickly, lay down their weapons and return to the rule of order and law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29771]]></link><description><![CDATA[leave the holy sites quickly, lay down their weapons and return to the rule of order and law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Vietnam the CIA dressed as Viet Cong and in theiruniform performed atrocities on Catholics and Buddhists.*(the same thing is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54755]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Vietnam the CIA dressed as Viet Cong and in theiruniform performed atrocities on Catholics and Buddhists.*(the same thing is being done to the Shiites and Sunnisby mosque bombers.. with the US military or Sharonoperatives tagged as Sunnis for Shiites and Shiites forSunnis).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opposition is a natural part of life.

The various members belong organically to each other in Christ, and are to exhibit that harmony practically in their common life. The recognition of how they differ from each other, and are yet one, is to enrich their worship, inspire their ministry, and quicken their love. To divide the local church is... to witness to a divided Christ, or to a discipleship to lesser masters than Christ, such as Paul or Apollos. Both implications are equally unthinkable. There is no New Testament pattern of serving the one Christ, except in one local body, formed by the incorporation given in the one baptism, and the continued life sustained by breaking and sharing the one bread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2422]]></link><description><![CDATA[I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one remains modest, not after praise but after blame, then is he really so. [Ger., Wenn jemand bescheiden bleibt, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42912]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one remains modest, not after praise but after blame, then is he really so. [Ger., Wenn jemand bescheiden bleibt, nicht beim Lobe, sondern beim Tadel, dann ist er's.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man, however strong, can serve ten years as schoolmaster, priest, or Senator, and remain fit for anything else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9770]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man, however strong, can serve ten years as schoolmaster, priest, or Senator, and remain fit for anything else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O I have lost my reputation!
