Its story of our origins and of our end is, to say the least, unsatisfactory. To the question, "How did it all begin?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." To the question, "How will it all end?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." And to many people, the accidental life is not worth living. Moreover, the science-god has no answer to the question, "Why are we here?" and, to the question, "What moral instructions do you give us?", the science-god maintains silence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Morality is a private and costly luxury ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26075]]></link><description><![CDATA[Morality is a private and costly luxury]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be careful with your words.

Though now we are fallen upon another method, we have turned all religion into faith, and our faith is nothing but the production of interest or disputing; it is adhering to a party and a wrangling against all the world beside--and when it is asked of what religion he is, we understand the meaning to be what faction does he follow, what are the articles of his sect, not what is the manner of his life: and if men be zealous for their party and that interest, then they are precious men, though otherwise they be covetous as the grave, factious as Dathan, schismatical as Korah, or proud as the fallen angels.  ... Jeremy Taylor  August 14, 2000 Commemoration of Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan Friar, Priest, Martyr, 1941   Whether God revealed Himself to the patriarchs by oracles and visions, or suggested, by means of the ministry of men, what should be handed down by tradition to their posterity, it is beyond a doubt that their minds were impressed with a firm assurance of the doctrine, so that they were persuaded and convinced that the information they had received came from God... But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730  The fortitude of a Christian consists in patience, not in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8278]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730  The fortitude of a Christian consists in patience, not in enterprises which the poets call heroic, and which are commonly the effects of interest, pride, and worldly honor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be good and you will be lonely ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18242]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be good and you will be lonely]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not hard to find the truth.
