They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts. This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't think every day is a good day, just try missing one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62871]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't think every day is a good day, just try missing one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is too short to stuff a mushroom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16350]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is too short to stuff a mushroom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Nicholas Ferrar, Deacon, Founder of the Little Gidding Community, 1637   The conduct of disputation by verbal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Nicholas Ferrar, Deacon, Founder of the Little Gidding Community, 1637   The conduct of disputation by verbal brickbat, by innuendo, and by light-fingered intellectual dexterity, is a mordant reminder of the time when controversies were settled by faggot and sword. The truth is hardly less the loser because the inquisitor has altered his methods. All of us who seek to explore the wide reaches of God's revelation, and strive to bring the thinking of others under the domination of Christ, do well to seek first to bring our own rhetorical techniques under that same dominion -- under the discipline, that is, of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal.

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[Though you see a Church-man ill, yet continue in the Church still. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though you see a Church-man ill, yet continue in the Church still.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hungry bellies have no cars. [Fr., La ventre affame n'point d'oreilles.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20159]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hungry bellies have no cars. [Fr., La ventre affame n'point d'oreilles.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religions die when they are proved to be true.

Although I must have Martha's hands, I have a Mary mind, And when I black the boots and shoes, Thy sandals, Lord, I find.
