It would not be true to affirm that the denominations are not religious groups with religious purposes; but it is true that they represent the accommodation of religion to the caste system. They are emblems, therefore, of the victory of the world over the church, of the secularization of Christianity, of the church's sanction of that divisiveness which the church's gospel condemns.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The problem with loving is that pets don't last long enough and people last too long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46440]]></link><description><![CDATA[The problem with loving is that pets don't last long enough and people last too long.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My dad was a Buick guy and I followed in his footsteps.

We shall find ourselves advancing in our course; we shall feel the presence of God; we shall experience His love; we shall live in the enjoyment of His favour and in the hope of His glory... You often feel that your prayers scarcely reach the ceiling; but, oh, get into this humble spirit by considering how good the Lord is, and how evil you all are, and then prayer will mount on wings of faith to heaven. The sigh, the groan of a broken heart, will soon go through the ceiling up to heaven, aye, into the very bosom of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one hits the bottom of the Desperation Barrel, there is always someone down there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12045]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one hits the bottom of the Desperation Barrel, there is always someone down there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The test of courage comes when we are in the minority.

Hence a man's reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be "debunked"; but watch the faces, mark well the accents, of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach -- men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire mere equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will get everything out of her that you can squeeze out of a lemon and a bit more.
