But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And if I laugh at any mortal thing, 'Tis that I may not weep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24221]]></link><description><![CDATA[And if I laugh at any mortal thing, 'Tis that I may not weep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the human race wants to go to hell in a basket, technology can help it get there by jet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21437]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the human race wants to go to hell in a basket, technology can help it get there by jet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Herself the solitary scion left Of a time-honour'd race. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47837]]></link><description><![CDATA[Herself the solitary scion left Of a time-honour'd race.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is the process of driving a set of prejudices down your throat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13445]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is the process of driving a set of prejudices down your throat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The song is ended / But the melody lingers on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57205]]></link><description><![CDATA[The song is ended / But the melody lingers on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like blinking, I do! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36405]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like blinking, I do!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If they had acted fast there was a chance to win our hearts and minds, but they are losing that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36727]]></link><description><![CDATA[If they had acted fast there was a chance to win our hearts and minds, but they are losing that chance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66644]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is to be worshipped as the one beloved, dearer than everything in this and next life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Patrick, Bishop of Armagh, Missionary, Patron of Ireland, c.460  Without realizing what was happening, most of us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8040]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Patrick, Bishop of Armagh, Missionary, Patron of Ireland, c.460  Without realizing what was happening, most of us gradually came to take for granted the premises underlying the philosophy of optimism. 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[When a person cannot deceive himself the chances are against his being able to deceive other people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11560]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a person cannot deceive himself the chances are against his being able to deceive other people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to receive than to do an injury. [Lat., Accipere quam facere injuiam praestat.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20913]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to receive than to do an injury. [Lat., Accipere quam facere injuiam praestat.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great paines quickly find ease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49301]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great paines quickly find ease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge being to be had only of visible and certain truth, error is not a fault of our knowledge, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14163]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge being to be had only of visible and certain truth, error is not a fault of our knowledge, but a mistake of our judgment, giving assent to that which is not true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can observe a lot just by watching. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44778]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can observe a lot just by watching.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miserable have no other medicine, But only hope. -Measure for Measure.
