We modern pagans have to choose between that divine order, and the grey, dead, irresponsible, chaotic universe of atheism. And the tragedy is that we may make that choice without knowing it -- not by clear conviction but by vague drifting, by losing interest in Him. A nominal deist will say: "Yes, of course there must be some sort of Force that created the galaxy. But it's childish to imagine that It has any personal relation to me!" In that belief atheism exists as an undiagnosed disease. The man who says, "One God," and does not care, is an atheist in his heart. The man who speaks of God and will not recognize him in the burning bush -- that man is an atheist, though he speak with the tongues of men or angels, and appear in his pew every Sunday, and make large contributions to the church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17607]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger, tears and sadness are only for those who have given up ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger, tears and sadness are only for those who have given up]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discretion is the polite word for hypocrisy ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discretion is the polite word for hypocrisy]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1443]]></link><description><![CDATA[A scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit.
