You see, gentlemen, how I would answer that question. You are deceived in thinking that the morality of your father was based on Christianity. On the contrary, Christianity presupposed it. That morality stands exactly where it did; its basis has not been withdrawn, for, in a sense, it never had a basis. The ultimate ethical injunctions have always been premises, never conclusions. Kant was perfectly right on that point at least, the imperative is categorical. Unless the ethical is assumed from the outset, no argument will bring you to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All men's souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66767]]></link><description><![CDATA[All men's souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou ought to be nice, even to superstition, in keeping thy promises, and therefore equally cautious in making them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou ought to be nice, even to superstition, in keeping thy promises, and therefore equally cautious in making them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we hear oxymoronwe think that thosewho eat oxen become morons.. their brains occludedby animal fat.. cannot receive oxygenWhen we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18358]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we hear oxymoronwe think that thosewho eat oxen become morons.. their brains occludedby animal fat.. cannot receive oxygenWhen we hear Oxfamwe think famine..that those who promoteoxeatingcreate famine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17958]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art should be appreciated with passion and violence, not with a tepid, deprecating elegance that fears the censoriousness of a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52043]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art should be appreciated with passion and violence, not with a tepid, deprecating elegance that fears the censoriousness of a common room.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like everybody who is not in love, he thought one chose the person to be loved after endless deliberations and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25824]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like everybody who is not in love, he thought one chose the person to be loved after endless deliberations and on the basis of particular qualities or advantages.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 651 Commemoration of Cuthburga, Founding Abbess of Wimborne, c.725 Commemoration of John Bunyan, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 651 Commemoration of Cuthburga, Founding Abbess of Wimborne, c.725 Commemoration of John Bunyan, Spiritual Writer, 1688  But upon a day the good providence of God did cast me to Bedford to work on my calling, and in one of the streets of that town I came where there were three or four poor women sitting at a door in the sun and talking about the things of God; and being now willing to hear them discourse, I drew near to hear what they said, for I was now a brisk talker also myself in the matters of religion. But now I may say I heard, but I understood not; for they were far above, out of my reach; for their talk was about a new birth -- the work of God on their hearts. And methought they spake as if Joy did make them speak; they spake with such pleasantness of scripture language and with such appearance of grace in all they said, that they were to me as if they had found a new world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With customes wee live well, but Lawes undoe us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50118]]></link><description><![CDATA[With customes wee live well, but Lawes undoe us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indecision is like a stepchild: if he does not wash his hands, he is called dirty, if he does, he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11631]]></link><description><![CDATA[Indecision is like a stepchild: if he does not wash his hands, he is called dirty, if he does, he is wasting water.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They said they'd pass the information on and they'd have it cleaned up.
