The atheist [Friedrich] Nietzsche also saw the point and argued forcefully that the person who gives up belief in God must be consistent and give up Christian morals as well, because the former is the foundation of the latter. He had nothing but contempt for fellow humanists who refused to see that Christian morality cannot survive the loss of its theological moorings, except as habit or as lifeless tradition. As Ayn Rand also sees so clearly, love of the neighbor cannot be rationally justified within the framework of secular humanism. Love for one's neighbor is an ethical implication of the Christian position. This suggests to me that the world's deepest problem is not economic or technological, but spiritual and moral. What is missing is the vision of reality that can sustain the neighbor-oriented life style that is so urgently needed in our world today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must plant the sea and herd its animals using the sea as farmers instead of hunters.

In a subtle way, talking about something becomes an excuse for not doing it. This new bolt-hole of the conference and study group is not confined to the local congregation. It is a painful fact of life in the central structures of the churches. We have a welter of reports, commissions, surveys, liaison bodies, and so on. They have the appearance of progressive thinking and readiness to face change, combined with the function of being delaying devices. They are the sacraments of current Christianity, and its dilemma. Outreach is a move from power structures to meekness structures, and, in spite of the fact that Christians believe that it is the meek who shall inherit the earth, they show (as in the ecumenical movement) a distinct reluctance to relinquish power-structure thinking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What bird so sings, yet does so wail? O, 'tis the ravish'd nightingale--  Jug, jug, jug, jug--tereu, she cries, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44551]]></link><description><![CDATA[What bird so sings, yet does so wail? O, 'tis the ravish'd nightingale--  Jug, jug, jug, jug--tereu, she cries,   And still her woes at midnight rise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worry is interest paid on trouble before it is due. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62287]]></link><description><![CDATA[Worry is interest paid on trouble before it is due.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do pray for mercy, And that same prayer doth teach us all to render  The deeds of mercy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27351]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do pray for mercy, And that same prayer doth teach us all to render  The deeds of mercy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make hast to an ill way that you may get out of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49618]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make hast to an ill way that you may get out of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hated every minute of training, but I said, \'Don\'t quit.
