At first sight, it may seem that they have only to proclaim and declare; but in fact, if their words are to enter men's hearts and bear fruit, they must be the right words, shaped cunningly to pass men's defenses and explode silently and effectually within their minds. This means, in practice, turning a face of flint toward the easy cliche, the well-worn religious cant and phraseology -- dear, no doubt, to the faithful, but utterly meaningless to those outside the fold. It means learning how people are thinking and how they are feeling; it means learning with patience, imagination and ingenuity the way to pierce apathy or blank lack of understanding. I sometimes wonder what hours of prayer and thought lie behind the apparently simple and spontaneous parables of the Gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the ways that I could contribute was to shill some memorabilia, and the other was to talk to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29975]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the ways that I could contribute was to shill some memorabilia, and the other was to talk to you and try to get people to pay attention to this auction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age is no place for sissies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1896]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old age is no place for sissies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to appreciate you without judging.

The dignity, the value, and the importance of every individual are made abundantly clear by the Son of God. He has shown us what human life is intended to be, and we must be willing to stand against whatever is amiss in the temper and disposition of the world, or of any segment of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man makes holy what he beleives, as he makes beautiful what he loves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19997]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man makes holy what he beleives, as he makes beautiful what he loves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In many regions, soldiers are too emotionally involved, partly because of inadequate logistics support, and of rivalry or (ineffective coordination) ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40298]]></link><description><![CDATA[In many regions, soldiers are too emotionally involved, partly because of inadequate logistics support, and of rivalry or (ineffective coordination) within the army.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're not missing in the traditional sense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34696]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're not missing in the traditional sense.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The acquisition is significant because it contains stunning ancient redwood trees in an area of the redwood range where there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39575]]></link><description><![CDATA[The acquisition is significant because it contains stunning ancient redwood trees in an area of the redwood range where there is relatively little old growth left.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To-day is not yesterday: we ourselves change; how can our Works and Thoughts, if they are always to be the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5514]]></link><description><![CDATA[To-day is not yesterday: we ourselves change; how can our Works and Thoughts, if they are always to be the fittest, continue always the same?

We Church people have become so prone to loud and abusive self-depreciation that the thing amounts to a disease... and though these doleful spirits are not altogether serious, the world is listening, and takes us, not unnaturally, at our own dismal and unflattering valuation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadershipdetermines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadershipdetermines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Falling in love is the single most expressive feeling a person can have.

The best games are not those in whichall goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those inwhich the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life isdesigned to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty anduncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. Wesurvive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want itany other way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16915]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own. -Benjamin Disraeli.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things orbidden have a secret charm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58917]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things orbidden have a secret charm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So wise, so grave, of so perplex'd a tongue, And loud withal, that would not wag, not scarce  Lie ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23502]]></link><description><![CDATA[So wise, so grave, of so perplex'd a tongue, And loud withal, that would not wag, not scarce  Lie still without a fee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Errors are not in the art but in the artificers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is life?

It is the most humanitarian of all known bodies of laws before recent times. The laws about slavery, which envisage the liberation of Hebrew slaves after seven years, are a good example. But there are also laws protecting the poor: interest (always high in the ancient East) was prohibited, and again there was a moratorium after a term of years... Even strangers, who normally had very little protection in antiquity, except when they were citizens of a strong neighbouring state which might step in and protect them by force of arms, are exceptionally well cared for by Mosaic law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hundreds of poor laboring men and women are being thrown into jails and police stations because of their political beliefs. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hundreds of poor laboring men and women are being thrown into jails and police stations because of their political beliefs.
