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://maxioms.com/maxiom/8336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God expects from men something more than at such times, and that it were much to be wished for the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13151]]></link><description><![CDATA[God expects from men something more than at such times, and that it were much to be wished for the credit of their religion as well as the satisfaction of their conscience that their Easter devotions would in some measure come up to their Easter dress.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's [the memorial is] a beautiful spot and fits in here at the soccer fields perfectly, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42019]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it's [the memorial is] a beautiful spot and fits in here at the soccer fields perfectly,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We weep over the graves of infants and the little ones taken from us by death; but an early grave ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18228]]></link><description><![CDATA[We weep over the graves of infants and the little ones taken from us by death; but an early grave may be the shortest way to heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first, and whatever you hit call it the target. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46373]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first, and whatever you hit call it the target.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There has been much tragedy in my life; at least half of it actually happend. -Mark Twain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24939]]></link><description><![CDATA[There has been much tragedy in my life; at least half of it actually happend. -Mark Twain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This man [Chesterfield] I thought had been a lord among wits; but I find he is only a wit among ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61827]]></link><description><![CDATA[This man [Chesterfield] I thought had been a lord among wits; but I find he is only a wit among lords.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Naivete in grownups is often charming; but when coupled with vanity it is indistinguishable from stupidity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Naivete in grownups is often charming; but when coupled with vanity it is indistinguishable from stupidity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4015]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If they can stay where they are and can have air and water, (then) stay where they are.
