The real questions refuse to be placated. They barge into your life at the times when it seems most important for them to stay away.

And if they can but get to be of a Sect which they think the holiest (as the Anabaptists and the Separatists), or which is the largest (as the Greeks and the Romans), they think then that they are sufficiently warranted to deny others to be God's Church, or at least to deny them Christian love and communion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wode has erys, felde has sigt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wode has erys, felde has sigt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People seem to think that life began with the achievement of personal independence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39550]]></link><description><![CDATA[People seem to think that life began with the achievement of personal independence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["What means this glory round our feet," The Magi mused, "more bright than morn!"  And voices chanted clear and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8638]]></link><description><![CDATA["What means this glory round our feet," The Magi mused, "more bright than morn!"  And voices chanted clear and sweet,   "To-day the Prince of Peace is born."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This mournful truth is everywhere confess'd, Slow rises worth by poverty depress'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62332]]></link><description><![CDATA[This mournful truth is everywhere confess'd, Slow rises worth by poverty depress'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without realizing what was happening, most of us gradually came to take for granted the premises underlying the philosophy of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8336]]></link><description><![CDATA[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/8336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing so cements and holds together all the parts of a society as faith or credit, which can never be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10609]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing so cements and holds together all the parts of a society as faith or credit, which can never be kept up unless men are under some force or necessity of honestly paying what they owe to one another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10609</guid></item></channel></rss>
