It may fill him with a self-righteousness which rejoices in its own superiority to those who have had no like experience. It may move a man to a Pharisaic self-isolation. There have in fact been not a few so-called conversions as a result of which a man has left the Church to belong to some smaller and holier body. The plain truth is that such a one should very seriously examine himself, if he finds what he regards as his Christian experience separating him from his fellow-men, or his fellow-Christians.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power call achieve more by gentle means than by violence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48906]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power call achieve more by gentle means than by violence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380  It seems to me to be the best proof of an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7711]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380  It seems to me to be the best proof of an evangelical disposition, that persons are not angry when reproached, and have a Christian charity for those that ill deserve it.  ... The Colloquies of Erasmus    April 30, 1998  Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922  What keeps most men in "Christian" countries from being heretics in this sense is that they do not publicly avow their disbelief: it is in better taste to be casual about lost beliefs, and a note of wistfulness generally ensures forgiveness. Obstinacy is rare. Millions do not even know that they deny essential Christian doctrines: they have never bothered to find out what the essential doctrines are. In extenuation they may plead that the evasiveness and the multiplicity of churches create a difficulty; but to be deterred by this when one's eternal destiny is said to be at stake bespeaks a glaring lack of seriousness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the test of a good religion whether you can make a joke about it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56939]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the test of a good religion whether you can make a joke about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone wants Steve to do well because he really is the nicest guy you would ever come across.

But if these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of "religion".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God's finger touched him, and he slept. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11405]]></link><description><![CDATA[God's finger touched him, and he slept.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An oppressed people are authorized whenever they can to rise and break their fetters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53164]]></link><description><![CDATA[An oppressed people are authorized whenever they can to rise and break their fetters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are very open-minded about new things--as long as they're exactly like the old ones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59437]]></link><description><![CDATA[People are very open-minded about new things--as long as they're exactly like the old ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/452]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.
