Such churches may invite and suffer temporary periods of unpopularity -- by standing up for West Indian immigrants, say, or refusing indiscriminate baptism. But on the whole, the storms are weathered by churches, and ministers, whose interest in the community and presentation of the faith [are] alert and genuine. Even so, the Church has every excuse for getting itself disliked: none at all for escaping notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ninety-two percent of the stuff told you in confidence you couldn't get anyone else to listen to. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ninety-two percent of the stuff told you in confidence you couldn't get anyone else to listen to.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To hate fatigues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18818]]></link><description><![CDATA[To hate fatigues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life has always taken place in a tumult without apparent cohesion, but it only finds its grandeur and its reality ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life has always taken place in a tumult without apparent cohesion, but it only finds its grandeur and its reality in ecstasy and in ecstatic love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the ability to take a joke, not make one, that proves you have a sense of humor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55115]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the ability to take a joke, not make one, that proves you have a sense of humor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talk is cheap - except when Congress does it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18016]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talk is cheap - except when Congress does it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spiritual writer, 1893   In prayer we express deep penitence and contrition ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spiritual writer, 1893   In prayer we express deep penitence and contrition for our shortcomings, using sorrowful and self-accusing words. And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If at first you do succeed, try something harder ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59896]]></link><description><![CDATA[If at first you do succeed, try something harder]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Albrecht Dürer, artist, 1528, and Michelangelo Buonarrotti, artist, spiritual writer, 1564   Man cannot make a redemptive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Albrecht Dürer, artist, 1528, and Michelangelo Buonarrotti, artist, spiritual writer, 1564   Man cannot make a redemptive art, but he can make an art that communicates what he experiences of redemption as a man and what he knows of it as an artist.
