There is -- most terrible thought! -- a practical atheism, orthodox in language, reverent in bearing, which can enter a Christian church and charm the conscience to rest with shadowy traditions; an atheism which grows incessantly within us if we separate what cannot be separated with impunity, the secular from the divine, the past and the future from the present, earth from heaven, the things of Caesar from the things of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give me a museum and I'll fill it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3273]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give me a museum and I'll fill it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21533]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We did have a very solid fall, which is a little bit unusual.
