Never mind if it all seems for the time very second-hand. The less you get out of it, the nearer it approaches to being something worth offering; and the humiliation of not being able to feel as devout as we want to be, is excellent for most of us. Use vocal prayer... very slowly, trying to realize the meaning with which it is charged and remember that... you are only a unit in the Chorus of the Church, so that the others will make good the shortcomings you cannot help.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You should treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12381]]></link><description><![CDATA[You should treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh! nature's noblest gift--my gray-goose quill! Slave of my thoughts, obedient to my will,  Torn from thy parent-bird to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46015]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh! nature's noblest gift--my gray-goose quill! Slave of my thoughts, obedient to my will,  Torn from thy parent-bird to form a pen,   That might instrument of little men!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[18 straight whiskies - I think that's a record. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24150]]></link><description><![CDATA[18 straight whiskies - I think that's a record.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kindness is wisdom.

Earth, tell it out abroad; The passover of gladness,  The passover of God. From death to life eternal, From this world to the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over With hymns of victory. Our hearts be pure from evil, That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection light, And, list'ning to His accents, May hear, so calm and plain His own "All hail!" and, hearing, May raise the victor strain. Now let the heav'ns be joyful, Let earth her song begin, Let the round world keep triumph And all that is therein; Invisible and visible, Their notes let all things blend; For Christ the Lord has risen -- Our Joy that has no end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without realizing what was happening, most of us gradually came to take for granted the premises underlying the philosophy of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without realizing what was happening, most of us gradually came to take for granted the premises underlying the philosophy of optimism. 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/8336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to love what's loveable and hate what's hateable.
