This supposition rests upon a misunderstanding of what is meant by "the Kingdom of God"... The Kingdom itself is not something to be "furthered" or "built" by men's efforts. It is something which we are invited to recognize as already present, after a manner, in the life and work of Jesus. It is something to be inherited or entered into by those who believe. The task of the Church, in other words, is not to set the stage for a better world than this one but to draw the curtain from it, to reveal something that is already there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a director who should make 'Silver Surfer' ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â he is mentally committed to it.

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/8040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing so well known as that we should not expect something for nothing - but we all do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62780]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing so well known as that we should not expect something for nothing - but we all do and call it Hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There but for the grace of God go I ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18077]]></link><description><![CDATA[There but for the grace of God go I]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had rather be a kitten and cry mew Than one of these same metre ballet-mongers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3701]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had rather be a kitten and cry mew Than one of these same metre ballet-mongers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3701</guid></item></channel></rss>
