Any attempts to hide behind the excuse that it is too difficult, when what we mean is that its word is too hard for us to bear, meets the just remark of a pastor from Communist Germany: "How can they say that the Bible is difficult, when young Communists are poring over much more difficult and much more technical literature to discover what Communism is all about?" Sometimes the Biblical teaching is crystal-clear, but we dare not understand it. The Christian Church has a vested interest in its present forms, and Christian people, like others, have their pleasant prejudices. This unwillingness to hear some new thing, except in times of great disturbance, plays a bigger part in weakening the voice of God through the Bible than we are prepared to admit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accuracy of language is one of the bulwarks of truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24068]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accuracy of language is one of the bulwarks of truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her pattern was when a child started crying, she couldn't stand it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her pattern was when a child started crying, she couldn't stand it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Matilda told such dreadful lies It made one gasp and stretch one's eyes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26159]]></link><description><![CDATA[Matilda told such dreadful lies It made one gasp and stretch one's eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two lovely berries moulded on one stem. -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[How inexpressible is the meanness of being a hypocrite! how horrible is it to be a mischievous and malignant hypocrite. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20240]]></link><description><![CDATA[How inexpressible is the meanness of being a hypocrite! how horrible is it to be a mischievous and malignant hypocrite.   - Voltaire (Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire),]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man cares not for what he cannot have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49086]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man cares not for what he cannot have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the reason why mothers are more devoted to their children than fathers: it is that they suffer more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43228]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the reason why mothers are more devoted to their children than fathers: it is that they suffer more in giving them birth and are more certain that they are their own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to fall among crows than flatterers; for those devour only the dead--these the living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16202]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to fall among crows than flatterers; for those devour only the dead--these the living.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I cannot believe that this country cannot come together around some values what these kids need is a moral life... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43115]]></link><description><![CDATA[I cannot believe that this country cannot come together around some values what these kids need is a moral life... the issue is not ideas, it is conduct.
