It will often be his duty, therefore, to establish a certain economy in the internal life of the Church, so that people are released to give time and energy to fulfilment of their Christian duty in the worlds of industry or politics or business or professional life, where their most determinative decisions have to be taken. A new puritanism is urgently needed in most churches, which cuts away ruthlessly from their life all organizations and activities which prevent their members from grappling with their real task.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth makes many appeals, not the least of which is its power to shock. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63059]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth makes many appeals, not the least of which is its power to shock.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2008]]></link><description><![CDATA[In life, as in art, the beautiful moves in curves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinking to bite something soft, he found it hard.

We are personalities in the making, limited, and grappling with things too high for us. Obviously we, at very best, will make many mistakes, but these mistakes need not be sins. Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence. Our intentions may be very good, but, because the intelligence is limited, the action may turn out to be a mistake -- a mistake, but not necessarily a sin, for sin comes out of a wrong intention. And therefore the action carries a sense of incompleteness and frustration, but not of guilt. Victorious living does not mean perfect living in the sense of living without flaw, but it does mean adequate living, and that can be consistent with many mistakes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure.
