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://maxioms.com/maxiom/308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3987]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer; I would be brave, for there is much to dare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19542]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read: "President Can't Swim.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet the best pilots have need of mariners, besides sails, anchor and other tackle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet the best pilots have need of mariners, besides sails, anchor and other tackle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is free knows how to keep in his own hands the power to decide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6113]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is free knows how to keep in his own hands the power to decide.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The function of an ordinance in the first few months is to serve as an education process. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42337]]></link><description><![CDATA[The function of an ordinance in the first few months is to serve as an education process.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to conduct yourself properly before your superiors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50259]]></link><description><![CDATA[How to conduct yourself properly before your superiors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sow an act...reap a habit; Sow a habit...reap a character; Sow a character...reap a destiny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63221]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sow an act...reap a habit; Sow a habit...reap a character; Sow a character...reap a destiny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65566]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing spoils a confession like repentance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing spoils a confession like repentance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Damn right, it's fun.

This is not a specially religious mistake. We think of supernaturalism when faith is mentioned, but the naturalistic description of the world also operates on assumptions that require a faith as robust as does the most soaring mysticism. The usual efforts to skirt faith beg all the questions there are. A psychiatrist, for instance, who points out to you that you believe in God the Father because you need a father, or that you became a missionary to expiate your guilt feelings, may be quite correct, but he has not touched on the prior question as to whether there is, in fact, a cosmic father figure who is the archetype of all other fathers, or whether there is an evangel worth spending your life promulgating.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, hell! to choose love by another's eyes. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.

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://maxioms.com/maxiom/8504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All your better deeds Shall be in water writ, but this in marble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11665]]></link><description><![CDATA[All your better deeds Shall be in water writ, but this in marble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bottom line is the attendance is a direct reflection of the product we've provided.
