What is the Church for? If that is not kept in mind, the lay ministry, about which so much is being said at present, remains on the level of a many-sided activity in which the self-assertion of the laity threatens to be more evident than a new manifestation of the Church in modern society. The responsible participation of the laity in the discharge of the Church's divine calling is not primarily a matter of idealism and enthusiasm or organizational efficiency, but a new grasp and commitment to the meaning of God's redemptive purpose with mankind and with the world in the past, the present, and the future: a purpose which has its foundation and inexhaustible content in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ever consider what pets must think of us?

Criminal laws are laws, imposed on men, who are already in existence, with or without their consent, and, with the possible exception of capital punishment for murder, there is no logical relation between the nature of a crime and the penalty inflicted for committing it. If God created man, then the laws of man's spiritual nature must, like the laws of his physical nature, be laws -- laws, that is to say, which he is free to defy but no more free to break than he can break the law of gravity by jumping out of the window, or the laws of biochemistry by getting drunk -- and the consequences of defying them must be as inevitable and as intrinsically related to their nature as a broken leg or a hangover. To state spiritual laws in the imperative -- Thou shalt love God with all thy being, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself -- is simply a pedagogical technique, as when a mother says to her small son, "Stay away from the window!" because the child does not yet know what will happen if he falls out of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...we are apt to forget that the vast majority of men and women who fell under the totalitarian spell was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47257]]></link><description><![CDATA[...we are apt to forget that the vast majority of men and women who fell under the totalitarian spell was activated by unselfish motives, ready to accept the role of martyr or executioner, as the cause demanded.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The test of a man or woman's breeding is how they behave in a quarrel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52704]]></link><description><![CDATA[The test of a man or woman's breeding is how they behave in a quarrel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinking to get at once all the gold the Goose could give, he killed it and opened it only to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52433]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thinking to get at once all the gold the Goose could give, he killed it and opened it only to find,- nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can man die better, Than facing fearful odds  For the ashes of this fathers   And the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50608]]></link><description><![CDATA[How can man die better, Than facing fearful odds  For the ashes of this fathers   And the temples of his gods?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am about to -- or I am going to -- die; either expression is used. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24141]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am about to -- or I am going to -- die; either expression is used.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14947]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The men who succeed are the efficient few.
