They can sit inside themselves like honey in a jar and just be. It's wonderful to have someone like that around, you always feel you can count on them. You can go away and come back, you can change your mind and your hairdo and your politics, and when you get through doing all these upsetting things, you look around and there they are, just the way they were, just being.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Edward King, Bishop of Lincoln, Teacher, 1910 Commemoration of Martyrs of Uganda, 1886 & 1978   There ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Edward King, Bishop of Lincoln, Teacher, 1910 Commemoration of Martyrs of Uganda, 1886 & 1978   There are only two kinds of men: the righteous, who believe themselves sinners; the rest, sinners who believe themselves righteous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The restlessness that comes upon girls upon summer evenings results in lasting trouble unless it is speedily controlled.

But this was not the issue, quite. In this case the choice was between being a good Methodist and a good American, and being a tribal religionist. But the theological problem of churches without discipline comes into stark outline in the quotation. Inadequately trained for membership, admitted without preparatory training, without the proper instruments of voluntary discipline, many members have never had the discontinuity between life in Christ and life in the world brought home to them. Here the ordinary members are less at fault than the leadership of the churches, who -- though sworn to uphold the form of sound words and doctrine -- neglect catechetical instruction and concentrate solely on the acquisition of more new members at any price.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference!. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44342]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know, I don't care, and it doesn't make any difference!.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think that [children are] any more resilient than anyone else.
