The American standard of living has risen to unprecedented heights, although a large portion of the world exists on a sub-human level. Philanthropy, as we practice it, is not enough --- although the word philanthropy actually means brotherhood. Our stewardship of God's goods requires that we administer in God's name -- that is, with full awareness that the world is His and that His love is directed toward us no more fully than toward every man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No sacrifice short of individual liberty, individual self-respect, and individual enterprise is too great a price to pay for permanent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54611]]></link><description><![CDATA[No sacrifice short of individual liberty, individual self-respect, and individual enterprise is too great a price to pay for permanent peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kisses kept are wasted; Love is to be tasted.  There are some you love, I know;   Be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23826]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kisses kept are wasted; Love is to be tasted.  There are some you love, I know;   Be not loath to tell them so.    Lips go dry and eyes grow wet     Waiting to be warmly met,      Keep them not in waiting yet;       Kisses kept are wasted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Capitalism is using its money; we socialists throw it away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42958]]></link><description><![CDATA[Capitalism is using its money; we socialists throw it away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think there are perhaps four playwrights of the 20th century that we could not have done without: Chekhov, Pirandello, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34296]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think there are perhaps four playwrights of the 20th century that we could not have done without: Chekhov, Pirandello, Brecht and Beckett.

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></channel></rss>
