Both in the marketplace and on the battlefield men who set their hearts on toys have often displayed unequal initiative and drive. And one must be ignorant of the creative process to look for a close correspondence between motive and achievement in the world of thought and imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52260</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[Commemoration of Richard Rolle of Hampole, Writer, Hermit, Mystic, 1349  Love ... is very noticeable as fervour and devotion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8378]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Rolle of Hampole, Writer, Hermit, Mystic, 1349  Love ... is very noticeable as fervour and devotion and jubilation, and is yet not always the best thing; for sometimes it is not from love but is caused by nature that one has such taste and sweetness; or it may be a heavenly impression or it may be produced by the senses, and those who have most of this are not always the best. For even if it should be from God, our Lord gives this to such men in order to attract and charm them, and also to detach them from others. But if these same people later grow in love, they may not have so many feelings, and then it will become clear that they have love, if they remain wholly faithful to God without any such support.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mountains appear more lofty, the nearer they are approached, but great men resemble them not in this particular ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43294]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mountains appear more lofty, the nearer they are approached, but great men resemble them not in this particular]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poor and content is rich, and rich enough; But riches fineless is as poor as winter  To him that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51452]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poor and content is rich, and rich enough; But riches fineless is as poor as winter  To him that ever fears he shall be poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not a huge risk taker...

Such an encounter with the historical Jesus is, of course, not the same as Christian faith in him. Even Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontius Pilate encountered him in this way. Christian faith is still a matter of decision -- either this Man is God's redemptive act, or he is not. Nor is the historical Jesus the object of our faith. That object is the Risen Christ preached by the Church. But the Risen Christ is in continuity with the historical Jesus, and it is the historical Jesus which makes the Risen Christ not just an abstraction, but clothes him with flesh and blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even lessthan you settled for. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22126]]></link><description><![CDATA[The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even lessthan you settled for.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thing I have the most problem with is consistency.
