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[American troops have not only occupied Ulster but are arriving in increasing numbers in England. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38536]]></link><description><![CDATA[American troops have not only occupied Ulster but are arriving in increasing numbers in England.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A market is the combined behavior of thousands of people responding to information, misinformation and whim. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15904]]></link><description><![CDATA[A market is the combined behavior of thousands of people responding to information, misinformation and whim.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man will understand how intimately, yea, how inseparably, self-control and happiness are associated, he has but to look ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37022]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man will understand how intimately, yea, how inseparably, self-control and happiness are associated, he has but to look into his own heart, and upon the world around,...Looking upon the lives of men and women, he will perceive how the hasty word, the bitter retort, the act of deception, the blind prejudice and foolish resentment bring wretchedness and even ruin in their train.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better fed than taught. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better fed than taught.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The contractors that they're trying to hire to do these repairs are the same people that have been displaced or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40756]]></link><description><![CDATA[The contractors that they're trying to hire to do these repairs are the same people that have been displaced or are working on everybody else's stuff.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is not poor who has a competency. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50244]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is not poor who has a competency.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Philip & James, Apostles Come Love, come Lord, and that long day For which I languish, come away. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6552]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Philip & James, Apostles Come Love, come Lord, and that long day For which I languish, come away.
