For maximum comprehension, do not start listening until the first clause is concluded. Begin instead at the word "but" which begins the second, or active, clause. This is the way to tell a liberal from a conservative -- before they tell you. Thus: "I have always believed in a strong national defense, second to none, but ... " (a liberal, about to propose a $20 billion defense cut).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But there is one thing which we are responsible for, and that is for our sympathies, for the manner in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58514]]></link><description><![CDATA[But there is one thing which we are responsible for, and that is for our sympathies, for the manner in which we regard it, and for the tone in which we discuss it.

But we have infinitely more than this, for instead of dead relics, however "authentic" and well preserved, we have a living life-line, stretching unbroken to Christ Himself. We have all the comfort and security that comes from historic tradition, but instead of being given the sad nostalgia of looking at an object and saying, "Look, how wonderful! This is what He touched then," we are given an evergreen memorial [in communion] which says, "This is what He touches now.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the intermission, between group one and group two, you go to your dressing-room and change every stitch you have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35582]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the intermission, between group one and group two, you go to your dressing-room and change every stitch you have on you: underwear, shirt, tie, socks, pants and tails.
