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 That morality stands exactly where it did; its basis has not been withdrawn, for, in a sense, it never had a basis.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[I think Brittany pitched a really good game.

But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is like an earthquake-unpredictable, a little scary, but when the hard part is over you realize how lucky you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26000]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is like an earthquake-unpredictable, a little scary, but when the hard part is over you realize how lucky you truly are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give me the cups, And let the kettle to the trumpet speak,  The trumpet to the cannoneer without,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59414]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give me the cups, And let the kettle to the trumpet speak,  The trumpet to the cannoneer without,   The cannons to the heavens, the heaven to earth,    'Now the king drinks to Hamlet.']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My heart Is true as steel. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.

And why is Thy Church so uncomfortable with its men of action? And why do men of spirit so often have to work apart from, and even against it?
