The problem is doubtless complicated, for there are many honest differences held with equal sincerity, but it is only made insoluble because the different denominations are (possibly unconsciously) imagining God to be Roman or Anglican or Baptist or Methodist or Presbyterian or what have you. If they could see beyond their little inadequate god, and glimpse the reality of God, they might even laugh a little and perhaps weep a little. The result would be a unity that actually does transcend differences, instead of ignoring them with public politeness and private contempt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blood is thicker than water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blood is thicker than water.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like to use the example that building a car is hard, but building the first car is quite hard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38300]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like to use the example that building a car is hard, but building the first car is quite hard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Beheading of John the Baptist  Do not be too quick to condemn the man who no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7424]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Beheading of John the Baptist  Do not be too quick to condemn the man who no longer believes in God: for it is perhaps your own coldness and avarice and mediocrity and materialism and selfishness that have chilled his faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12364]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are declining to discuss the details of the bargaining.

The figure who emerged is quite unlike the Jesus of conventional piety, and even more unlike that imagined hero whom members of various causes claim as their champion. What we are so often confronted with today is a "processed" Jesus. Every element that we feel is not consonant with our "image" of him is removed, and the result is more insipid and unsatisfying than the worst of processed food.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of every noble work the silent part is best; of all expression, that which cannot be expressed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56299]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of every noble work the silent part is best; of all expression, that which cannot be expressed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16725]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wish that every human life might be pure transparent freedom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To learn to get along without, to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2283]]></link><description><![CDATA[To learn to get along without, to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be a good deal more important than what we are entitled to demand of it -- this is a hard lesson.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19499]]></link><description><![CDATA[The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A gentleman is simply a patient wolf. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65259]]></link><description><![CDATA[A gentleman is simply a patient wolf.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bird that would soar above the plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59511]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bird that would soar above the plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more you know the less you need to say. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56317]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more you know the less you need to say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good questions outrank easy answers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good questions outrank easy answers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The peace makers shall be called the children of God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26879]]></link><description><![CDATA[The peace makers shall be called the children of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Revolution was effected before the War commenced.
