Outside, he is to be informed and vocal; inside, he must appear ignorant and mute as a sheep. Christians have within them many questions -- questions that are at once elementary and profound, questions that would ripple the water were they raised. However, because a Christian is supposed to have "answers", life's important questions are not discussed outside the church building; and, because the pastor is the educated, spiritual authority, they are not discussed inside either.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4558]]></link><description><![CDATA[My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For right is right, since God is God, And right the day must win;  To doubt would be disloyalty, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54244]]></link><description><![CDATA[For right is right, since God is God, And right the day must win;  To doubt would be disloyalty,   To falter would be sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The girls have worked hard and earned the right to play at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41929]]></link><description><![CDATA[The girls have worked hard and earned the right to play at home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Benefits are acceptable, while the receiver thinks he may return them; but once exceeding that, hatred is given instead of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Benefits are acceptable, while the receiver thinks he may return them; but once exceeding that, hatred is given instead of thanks. [Lat., Beneficia usque eo laeta sunt dum videntur exsolvi posse; ubi multum antevenere pro gratia odium redditur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48675]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger is an expensive luxury in which only men of a certain income can indulge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2561]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger is an expensive luxury in which only men of a certain income can indulge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46388]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discontent is something that follows ambition like a shadow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12417]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discontent is something that follows ambition like a shadow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not stand in a place of danger trusting in miracles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not stand in a place of danger trusting in miracles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is something that never happened, written by a man who wasn't there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19352]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is something that never happened, written by a man who wasn't there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Jack Winslow, Missionary, Evangelist, 1974  Let us remember how very soon the missionary character of the Church ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Jack Winslow, Missionary, Evangelist, 1974  Let us remember how very soon the missionary character of the Church was forgotten, and the Church, instead of obeying the commandment of Jesus to go and make disciples of all nations (in fact, that it was chiefly a missionary association), neglected this great and important calling... It is astonishing how a commandment so simple and distinct, and how a duty which you would have imagined would be eagerly greeted by the impulse of gratitude, of affection, and of compassion, was forgotten for so long a time, in the churches of the Reformation especially. Now we are accustomed to hear of mission work among the heathen nations, and to find that a great multitude of people are interested in it, and regard it with respect; but it was only at the commencement of the last century, and with great difficulty, [that] the attention of the Church was roused to this important duty; and even in the... Church of Scotland there were a number of ministers who thought that the state of heathenism was so utterly corrupt, and that there was so much to be done in our own country, that it was altogether a Utopian project to think of converting the idolaters, and that it was not our imperative duty to trouble ourselves with their wretched condition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ass and His Purchaser A MAN wished to purchase an Ass, and agreed with its owner thathe should try ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1507]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Ass and His Purchaser A MAN wished to purchase an Ass, and agreed with its owner thathe should try out the animal before he bought him. He took theAss home and put him in the straw-yard with his other Asses, uponwhich the new animal left all the others and at once joined theone that was most idle and the greatest eater of them all. Seeing this, the man put a halter on him and led him back to hisowner. On being asked how, in so short a time, he could havemade a trial of him, he answered, I do not need a trial; I knowthat he will be just the same as the one he chose for hiscompanion. A man is known by the company he keeps.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Mr. Vincent Price were to be co-starred with Miss Bette Davis in a story by Mr. Edgar Allan Poe ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27216]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Mr. Vincent Price were to be co-starred with Miss Bette Davis in a story by Mr. Edgar Allan Poe directed by Mr. Roger Corman, it could not fully express the pent-up violence and depravity of a single day in the life of the average family.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They want to have their pasta, but they're willing to eat a sensible portion with lots of vegetables. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39746]]></link><description><![CDATA[They want to have their pasta, but they're willing to eat a sensible portion with lots of vegetables.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Indian Summer, the dead Summer's soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58257]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Indian Summer, the dead Summer's soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Mole and His MotherA mole, a creature blind from birth, once said to his Mother: I am sure than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1522]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Mole and His MotherA mole, a creature blind from birth, once said to his Mother: I am sure than I can see, Mother!
