Such churches may invite and suffer temporary periods of unpopularity -- by standing up for West Indian immigrants, say, or refusing indiscriminate baptism. But on the whole, the storms are weathered by churches, and ministers, whose interest in the community and presentation of the faith [are] alert and genuine. Even so, the Church has every excuse for getting itself disliked: none at all for escaping notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God's delays are not God's denials. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21624]]></link><description><![CDATA[God's delays are not God's denials.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63052]]></link><description><![CDATA[The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60351]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more obstinately you try to learn how to shoot the arrow for the sake of hitting the goal, the less you will succeed in the one and the further the other will recede.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good taste is better than bad taste, but bad taste is better than no taste. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good taste is better than bad taste, but bad taste is better than no taste.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13433]]></link><description><![CDATA[The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guys were in the right spot, my job is to hit them and find them in the right spot.

O Conqueror renowned! O Source of peace ineffable,   In whom all joys are found:  When once you visit darkened hearts   Then truth begins to shine, Then earthly vanity departs,   Then kindles love divine. O Jesus, light of all below,   The fount of life and fire,  Surpassing all the joys we know,   All that we can desire: May ev'ry heart confess your name,   Forever you adore, And, seeking you, itself inflame   To seek you more and more! Oh, may our tongues forever bless,   May we love you alone  And ever in our lives express   The image of your own!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man with courage makes a majority. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10289]]></link><description><![CDATA[One man with courage makes a majority.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10289</guid></item></channel></rss>
