But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know that many have been taught to think that moderation, in a case like this, is a sort of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42873]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know that many have been taught to think that moderation, in a case like this, is a sort of treason]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If cats could talk, they wouldn't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5326]]></link><description><![CDATA[If cats could talk, they wouldn't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no vice so simple but assumes Some mark of virtue on his outward parts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60510]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no vice so simple but assumes Some mark of virtue on his outward parts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ass and the Frogs AN ASS, carrying a load of wood, passed through a pond.

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[I can't believe a 14:37 won $1,000, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41800]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't believe a 14:37 won $1,000,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself. -Mickey Mantle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24945]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself. -Mickey Mantle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fool who persists in his folly will become wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1177]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fame means millions of people have the wrong idea of who you are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fame means millions of people have the wrong idea of who you are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sooner or later we've got to beat them.
