We see that many articulate secularists are well-meaning and law-abiding men; we see them go into righteous indignation over injustice and often devote their lives to good works. So we conclude that "he can't be wrong whose life is in the right" -- that their philosophies are just as good guides to action as Christianity. What we don't see is that they are not acting on their philosophies. They are acting, out of habit or sentiment, on an inherited Christian ethic which they still take for granted though they have rejected the creed from which it sprang. Their children will inherit some what less of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Supreme Court's only armor is the cloak of public trust; its sole ammunition, the collective hopes of our society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19543]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Supreme Court's only armor is the cloak of public trust; its sole ammunition, the collective hopes of our society.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I cry at night because I wonder how my family will get on without her.

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/8040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sequelae are inherently unpredictable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10048]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sequelae are inherently unpredictable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eve in the garden gives Adam a hard onAnd no one will pardon the snakeLook who invents him and later ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26059]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eve in the garden gives Adam a hard onAnd no one will pardon the snakeLook who invents him and later torments himThen makes us repent our mistakes]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50928]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16990]]></link><description><![CDATA[One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gracie comes home from the hospital after visiting a sick friend.
