We modern pagans have to choose between that divine order, and the grey, dead, irresponsible, chaotic universe of atheism. And the tragedy is that we may make that choice without knowing it -- not by clear conviction but by vague drifting, by losing interest in Him. A nominal deist will say: "Yes, of course there must be some sort of Force that created the galaxy. But it's childish to imagine that It has any personal relation to me!" In that belief atheism exists as an undiagnosed disease. The man who says, "One God," and does not care, is an atheist in his heart. The man who speaks of God and will not recognize him in the burning bush -- that man is an atheist, though he speak with the tongues of men or angels, and appear in his pew every Sunday, and make large contributions to the church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not turn back when you are just at the goal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46169]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not turn back when you are just at the goal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God; for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62037]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this bright future you can't forget your past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63442]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this bright future you can't forget your past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now, my sere fancy "falls into the yellow Leaf," and imagination droops her pinion;  And the sad truth, which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48753]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now, my sere fancy "falls into the yellow Leaf," and imagination droops her pinion;  And the sad truth, which hovers o'er my desk,   Turns what was once romantic to burlesque.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one;  Yet the light of the bright world dies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14823]]></link><description><![CDATA[The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one;  Yet the light of the bright world dies   With the dying sun.    The mind has a thousand eyes,     And the heart but one:      Yet the light of a whole life dies       When love is done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On top of this, it's a good idea to take up references. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36402]]></link><description><![CDATA[On top of this, it's a good idea to take up references.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the margin, it's not helpful to the stock-price performance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32882]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the margin, it's not helpful to the stock-price performance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want to achieve immortality through my work.
