Such effort is likely to be arduous and painful in proportion to the height of the ideal, desperate in proportion to the sensitiveness of the conscience. A morbid scrupulousness besets the morally serious soul. It is anxious and troubled, afraid of evil, haunted by the memory of failure. The best of the Pharisees tended in this direction, and no less the best of the Stoics. And so little has Christianity been understood that the popular idea of a serious Christian is modeled upon the same type of character.

But a rational life, the life of a valuer, does not consist essentially in reaction. It consists in action. Man does not find his values, like the other animals; he creates them. The primary focus of a valuer is not to take the world as it comes and pass judgment. His primary focus is to identify what might and ought to exist, to uncover potentialities that he can exploit, to find ways of reshaping the world in the image of his values.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She's all my fancy painted her, She's lovely, she's divine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15284]]></link><description><![CDATA[She's all my fancy painted her, She's lovely, she's divine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best emotions to write out of are anger and fear or dread. . . .
