To deny God, man must ultimately deny that there is any law or reality. The full implications of this were seen in the [19th] century by two profound thinkers, one a Christian and the other a non-Christian.   [Friedrich W.] Nietzsche recognized fully that every atheist is an unwilling believer to the extent that he has any element of justice or order in his life, to the very extent that he is even alive and enjoys life. In his earlier writings, Nietzsche first attempted the creation of another set of standards and values, affirming life for a time, until he concluded that he could not affirm life itself nor give it any meaning, any value, apart from God. Thus Nietzsche's ultimate counsel was suicide; only then, [he asserted] can we truly deny God: and in his own life, this brilliant thinker -- one of the clearest in his description of modern Christianity and the contemporary issue -- did in effect commit a kind of psychic suicide.   The same concept was powerfully developed by [Fyodor M.] Dostoyevski, particularly in The Possessed, or, more literally, the Demon-Possessed. Kirilov, a thoroughly Nietzschean character, is very much concerned with denying God, asserting that he himself is God and that man does not need God. But at every point, Kirilov finds that no standard or structure in reality can be affirmed without ultimately asserting God, that no value can be asserted without being ultimately de rived from the Triune God. As a result, Kirilov committed suicide as the only apparently practical way of denying God and affirming himself -- for to be alive was to affirm this ontological deity in some fashion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All life is an experiment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14658]]></link><description><![CDATA[All life is an experiment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Positive anything is better than negative nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Positive anything is better than negative nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These Winter nights against my window-pane Nature with busy pencil draws designs  Of ferns and blossoms and fine spray ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61704]]></link><description><![CDATA[These Winter nights against my window-pane Nature with busy pencil draws designs  Of ferns and blossoms and fine spray of pines,   Oak-leaf and acorn and fantastic vines,    Which she will make when summer comes again--     Quaint arabesques in argent, flat and cold,      Like curious Chinese etchings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Basically, they're selling the foundation to pay for the mortgage.

His road home lay across a stream into which his Ass, making a false step, fell by accident and rose up again with his load considerably lighter, as the water melted the sack. The Peddler retraced his steps and refilled his panniers with a larger quantity of salt than before. When he came again to the stream, the Ass fell down on purpose in the same spot, and, regaining his feet with the weight of his load much diminished, brayed triumphantly as if he had obtained what he desired. The Peddler saw through his trick and drove him for the third time to the coast, where he bought a cargo of sponges instead of salt. The Ass, again playing the fool, fell down on purpose when he reached the stream, but the sponges became swollen with water, greatly increasing his load. And thus his trick recoiled on him, for he now carried on his back a double burden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be in prison so long, it's difficult to remember exactly what you did to get there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36822]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be in prison so long, it's difficult to remember exactly what you did to get there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The final results won't be ready and ratified until a few days into next January after completing the investigation into ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34837]]></link><description><![CDATA[The final results won't be ready and ratified until a few days into next January after completing the investigation into all complaints.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My brother wouldn't let me just throw it back to him.
