I have already shared two sets of maxims from Brian Ridolfi’s great book Useful Maxims (you can read them here and here). These are some additional maxims targeting particular topics…

Maxims On Sex & Relationships

1. When two lovers give, they each receive.
2. Loveless sex is listless sex, and commoditized sex is lobotomized sex.
3. Women are the gatekeepers of virtue; lost women make lost civilizations.

Maxims On Science & Philosophy

1. The difference between science and philosophy: science attempts to answer the how questions, and philosophy the why questions.
2. The difference between sound and unsound philosophy: good philosophy justifies itself, bad philosophy justifies the philosopher.
3. When science becomes a god, science becomes a fraud.
4. Atheistic theories are not necessarily scientific, and theistic theories are not necessarily unscientific.
5. In science, the facts make the case, but in evolution, the case makes the facts.
6. What came first, the cell or the DNA?
7. Creationism is the enemy of scientists, not science.
8. The theory of evolution evolved from moral devolution.

Maxims On satan & Evil

1. A godless world is a joyless world.
2. All is rotten after God is forgotten, and all goes sour that is under satanic power.
3. satan is no threat to God, he is a threat to man. He is not God’s adversary, he is man’s adversary.
4. The devil cannot make you do anything; he just makes you believe you can do anything.
5. The way to spot satan is to know Christ.
6. satan is not to be feared, he is to be avoided.
7. Evil which appears godly is the most insidious form of evil.
8. The difference between evil spirits and evil men: evil spirits know they are dead, and evil men are dead because they do not know.
9. Allowing evil to continue is the most evil act of all.
