The practical organization offers opportunities for self-advancement, and its appeal is mainly to self-interest. On the other hand, a mass movement, particularly in its active, revivalist phase, appeals not to those intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self. A mass movement attracts and holds a following not because it can satisfy the desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self-renunciation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The belly (i.e. necessity) is the teacher of art and the liberal bestower of wit. [Lat., Magister artis ingenique largitor ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13244]]></link><description><![CDATA[The belly (i.e. necessity) is the teacher of art and the liberal bestower of wit. [Lat., Magister artis ingenique largitor Venter.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When men talk about defense, they always claim to be protecting women and children, but they never ask the women ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11819]]></link><description><![CDATA[When men talk about defense, they always claim to be protecting women and children, but they never ask the women and children what they think]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't buy a single vote more than necessary.

What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the American women had purple noses and gray lips and their faces were chalk white from terrible powder.
