It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood are conditions people have to work at. It's a serious matter. You compromise, you give, you take, you stand firm, and you're relentless...And it is an investment. Sisterhood means if you happen to be in Burma and I happen to be in San Diego and I'm married to someone who is very jealous and you're married to somebody who is very possessive, if you call me in the middle of the night, I have to come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Saving is a fine thing.

The sick and the ignorant were excluded. They were under the bondage of evil demons. "This people which knoweth not the law are accursed", was the common doctrine of Jews and Greeks. The philosophers addressed themselves only to the well-to-do, the intellectual, and the pure. To the mysteries were invited only those who had clean hands and sound understanding.

Surely that is not wholly true. It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Companies are beginning to realize there's money to be made in marketing to our age group. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40900]]></link><description><![CDATA[Companies are beginning to realize there's money to be made in marketing to our age group.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feelings are not supposed to be logical.
