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[The life of spies is to know, not bee known. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49886]]></link><description><![CDATA[The life of spies is to know, not bee known.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There has been some spotty signs of a cooling in the broader housing market. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39113]]></link><description><![CDATA[There has been some spotty signs of a cooling in the broader housing market.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easy to build a philosophy--it doesn't have to run. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46505]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easy to build a philosophy--it doesn't have to run.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were at such a fever pitch over getting to setting the referendum date and amount ... that I think ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36740]]></link><description><![CDATA[We were at such a fever pitch over getting to setting the referendum date and amount ... that I think having gotten to that point everybody heaved a sigh of relief and the air went out of the tires.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62968]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is important in life is life, and not the result of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46228]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To curb the machine and limit art to handicraft is a denial of opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26166]]></link><description><![CDATA[To curb the machine and limit art to handicraft is a denial of opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The American presidency will demand more than ringing manifestos issued from the rear of the battle.

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep   The silent stars go by: Yet in thy dark streets shineth   The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years   Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary;   And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep   Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars together   Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing to God the King,   And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently,   The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts   The blessings of His Heav'n. No ear may hear His coming,   But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still,   The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem,   Descend to us, we pray, Cast out our sins, and enter in,   Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels   The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us,   Our Lord Emmanuel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bradley says.

On the most general level, they're an explicit acknowledgment that what you're doing is insufficiently interesting or rewarding for you to do it on your own. Nobody ever gave you a grade for learning how to play, how to ride a bicycle, or how to kiss. One of the best ways to destroy love for any of these activities would be through the use of grades, and the coercion and judgment they represent. Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Character matters; leadership descends from character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Character matters; leadership descends from character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spiritual stagnation ensues when man's environment becomes unpredictable or when his inner life is made wholly predictable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56887]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spiritual stagnation ensues when man's environment becomes unpredictable or when his inner life is made wholly predictable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who trusts men will make fewer mistakes than he who distrusts them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12578]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who trusts men will make fewer mistakes than he who distrusts them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For all may have, If they dare to try, a glorious life, or grave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2324]]></link><description><![CDATA[For all may have, If they dare to try, a glorious life, or grave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man scorches with his brightness, who overpowers inferior capacities, yet he shall be revered when dead. [Lat., Urit enim ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18261]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man scorches with his brightness, who overpowers inferior capacities, yet he shall be revered when dead. [Lat., Urit enim fulgore suo qui praegravat artes  Intra se positas; extinctus amabitur idem.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we hear strikes the mind with less force than what we see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50386]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we hear strikes the mind with less force than what we see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could live a week on one good compliment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17211]]></link><description><![CDATA[I could live a week on one good compliment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Capitalism has destroyed our belief in any effective power but that of self interest backed by force. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5223]]></link><description><![CDATA[Capitalism has destroyed our belief in any effective power but that of self interest backed by force.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When 100+ CEOs from top companies from around the world are on the wait list, that is 'stress!'
