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[We know that we can steer it sufficiently to sample another region of the crater. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32594]]></link><description><![CDATA[We know that we can steer it sufficiently to sample another region of the crater.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is peculiarly a fool's habit to discern the faults of others, and to forget his own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48845]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is peculiarly a fool's habit to discern the faults of others, and to forget his own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time you make a choice, you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every time you make a choice, you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before. And, taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a Heaven creature or into a hellish creature -- either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures and with itself. To be the one kind of creature is Heaven: that is, it is joy, and peace, and knowledge, and power. To be the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal loneliness. Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state or the other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Relationships based on obligation lack dignity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Relationships based on obligation lack dignity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43587]]></link><description><![CDATA[What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We still have a refining issue.

The world wants to see redemption: it is not interested in being talked to about it.
