Outside, he is to be informed and vocal; inside, he must appear ignorant and mute as a sheep. Christians have within them many questions -- questions that are at once elementary and profound, questions that would ripple the water were they raised. However, because a Christian is supposed to have "answers", life's important questions are not discussed outside the church building; and, because the pastor is the educated, spiritual authority, they are not discussed inside either.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It took hundreds of years and thousands of lives, but the Universe finally taught me it's one and only lesson. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53240]]></link><description><![CDATA[It took hundreds of years and thousands of lives, but the Universe finally taught me it's one and only lesson.

But if Christ is amongst us, then it is necessary that we sometimes yield up our own opinion for the sake of peace. Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Though thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because I could not stop for deathHe kindly stopped for meThe carriage held but just ourselvesAnd immortaility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11414]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because I could not stop for deathHe kindly stopped for meThe carriage held but just ourselvesAnd immortaility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fashion of the day has been to attempt to convert by insisting on conversion; to exhort men to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7200]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fashion of the day has been to attempt to convert by insisting on conversion; to exhort men to be converted; to tell them to be sure they look at Christ instead of simply holding up Christ; to tell them to have faith rather than to supply its object; to lead them to work up their minds, instead of impressing upon them the thought of Him who can savingly work in them; to bid them to be sure their faith is justifying, that it is not dead, formal, self-righteous, or merely moral, instead of delineating Him whose image, fully delineated, destroys deadness, formality, self-righteousness; to rely on words, vehemence, eloquence, and the like, rather than to aim at conveying the one great idea, whether in words or not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their rise is one of difficulty, whose merits are impeded by poverty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50513]]></link><description><![CDATA[Their rise is one of difficulty, whose merits are impeded by poverty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That dude is huge! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35176]]></link><description><![CDATA[That dude is huge!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's totally it, ...
