We see that many articulate secularists are well-meaning and law-abiding men; we see them go into righteous indignation over injustice and often devote their lives to good works. So we conclude that "he can't be wrong whose life is in the right" -- that their philosophies are just as good guides to action as Christianity. What we don't see is that they are not acting on their philosophies. They are acting, out of habit or sentiment, on an inherited Christian ethic which they still take for granted though they have rejected the creed from which it sprang. Their children will inherit some what less of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Get place and wealth, if possible, with grace; If not, by any means get wealth and place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61421]]></link><description><![CDATA[Get place and wealth, if possible, with grace; If not, by any means get wealth and place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You never lose by loving.
