Every sin is a sin of the indivisible human being, and the divine reaction against it expresses itself to conscience through the indivisible frame of that world, at once natural and spiritual, in which man lives. We cannot distribute evils into the two classes of physical and moral, and subsequently investigate the relation between them: if we could, it would be of no service here. What we have to understand is that when a man sins he does something in which his whole being participates, and that the reaction of God against his sin is a reaction in which he is conscious (or might be conscious) that the whole system of things is in arms against him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45816]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But the development of human society does not go straight forward; and the epic process will therefore be a recurring ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40471]]></link><description><![CDATA[But the development of human society does not go straight forward; and the epic process will therefore be a recurring process, the series a recurring series - though not in exact repetition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will roar you as gently as any sucking dove; I will roar you, an 't were any nightingale. -A ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55518]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will roar you as gently as any sucking dove; I will roar you, an 't were any nightingale. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.

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[Between good sense and good taste there lies the difference between a cause and its effect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58636]]></link><description><![CDATA[Between good sense and good taste there lies the difference between a cause and its effect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have lived eighty years of life and know nothing for it, but to be resigned and tell myself that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/404]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have lived eighty years of life and know nothing for it, but to be resigned and tell myself that flies are born to be eaten by spiders and man to be devoured by sorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66666]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can only learn to love by loving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63324]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can only learn to love by loving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In vain does anyone pretend that he will be a martyr for his religion, when he will not rule an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7336]]></link><description><![CDATA[In vain does anyone pretend that he will be a martyr for his religion, when he will not rule an appetite nor restrain lust nor subdue a passion nor cross his covetousness and ambition for the sake of it, and in hope of that eternal life which God that cannot lie hath promised. He that refuses to do the less is not like to do the greater. It is very improbable that a man will die for his religion, when he cannot be persuaded to live according to it. He that cannot take up a resolution to live a saint, hath a demonstration within himself that he is never like to die a martyr.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It isn't necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice; there are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11383]]></link><description><![CDATA[It isn't necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice; there are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Morris, Artist, Writer, 1896 Commemoration of George Kennedy Bell, Bishop of Chichester, Ecumenist, Peacemaker, 1958  The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7029]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Morris, Artist, Writer, 1896 Commemoration of George Kennedy Bell, Bishop of Chichester, Ecumenist, Peacemaker, 1958  The only ultimate disaster that can befall us, I have come to realize, is to feel ourselves at home here on earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And ye sall walk in silk attire, And siller hae to spare,  Gin ye'll consent to be his bride, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4898]]></link><description><![CDATA[And ye sall walk in silk attire, And siller hae to spare,  Gin ye'll consent to be his bride,   Nor think o'Donald mair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It came down in buckets that day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37261]]></link><description><![CDATA[It came down in buckets that day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is disturbing to discover in oneself these curious revelations of the validity of the Darwinian theory.
