They are not only results of our action, but results which that action has merited; and there is no moral hope for us unless we accept them as such.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The stone that the builder refused, will always be the head cornerstone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30321]]></link><description><![CDATA[The stone that the builder refused, will always be the head cornerstone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't do half of a job. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33916]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't do half of a job.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blood hath been shed ere now, i' th' olden time, Ere humane stature purged the gentle weal;  Ay, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43402]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blood hath been shed ere now, i' th' olden time, Ere humane stature purged the gentle weal;  Ay, and since too, murders have been performed   Too terrible for the ear.

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[Many talk of Robin Hood that never shot his bow, And many talk of Little John that never did him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51013]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many talk of Robin Hood that never shot his bow, And many talk of Little John that never did him know.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature.
