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[Leave no question in anyone's mind as to where you stand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48240]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leave no question in anyone's mind as to where you stand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I will learn over the years will be of benefit and interest to me personally but, as far as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42539]]></link><description><![CDATA[What I will learn over the years will be of benefit and interest to me personally but, as far as the program is concerned, I'm the mouthpiece of the viewers as well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bring a lawsuit against a man who can pay; the poor man's acts are not worth the expence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bring a lawsuit against a man who can pay; the poor man's acts are not worth the expence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63532]]></link><description><![CDATA[Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was really tough, not having the routine like we're so used to.

The more knowledge, the more obligation. The maintaining of revealed doctrine becomes blasphemy if it is not borne out by the corresponding testimony of the life. He who is always appealing to the Word of God without his life and conduct corresponding to this knowledge of God, dishonours God's name, making Him an object of mockery and hatred. It is just those who know so well how to talk about God who make His name hateful among men, because their lives darken the picture of God and turn it into a caricature. The Lord is judged by the life of His servants; this is the truer, the more zealously they appeal to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For blocks are better cleft with wedges, Tan tools of sharp or subtle edges,  And dullest nonsense has been ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44607]]></link><description><![CDATA[For blocks are better cleft with wedges, Tan tools of sharp or subtle edges,  And dullest nonsense has been found   By some to be the most profound.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Didn't the lion of Islam, the Mujahid Shaykh Osama bin Laden, may Allah protect him, offer you a truce so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29793]]></link><description><![CDATA[Didn't the lion of Islam, the Mujahid Shaykh Osama bin Laden, may Allah protect him, offer you a truce so that you might depart from the Islamic lands?
