Outside, he is to be informed and vocal; inside, he must appear ignorant and mute as a sheep. Christians have within them many questions -- questions that are at once elementary and profound, questions that would ripple the water were they raised. However, because a Christian is supposed to have "answers", life's important questions are not discussed outside the church building; and, because the pastor is the educated, spiritual authority, they are not discussed inside either.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination is more important than knowledge.

The next day it snowed very hard, so that he could not take the herd to their usual feeding places, but was obliged to keep them in the fold. He gave his own goats just sufficient food to keep them alive, but fed the strangers more abundantly in the hope of enticing them to stay with him and of making them his own. When the thaw set in, he led them all out to feed, and the Wild Goats scampered away as fast as they could to the mountains. The Goatherd scolded them for their ingratitude in leaving him, when during the storm he had taken more care of them than of his own herd. One of them, turning about, said to him: That is the very reason why we are so cautious; for if you yesterday treated us better than the Goats you have had so long, it is plain also that if others came after us, you would in the same manner prefer them to ourselves. Old friends cannot with impunity be sacrificed for new ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My soul is dark! oh quickly string The harp I yet can brook to hear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48752]]></link><description><![CDATA[My soul is dark! oh quickly string The harp I yet can brook to hear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For well-dowered wife, credit, friends, birth and beauty, all-powerful money gives them all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50222]]></link><description><![CDATA[For well-dowered wife, credit, friends, birth and beauty, all-powerful money gives them all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth is the glue that holds government together.

Prayer stamps with its indelible mark our actions and demeanor. A tranquillity of bearing, a facial and bodily repose, are observed in those whose inner lives are thus enriched. Within the depths of consciousness a flame kindles. And man sees himself. He discovers his selfishness, his silly pride, his fears, his greeds, his blunders. He develops a sense of moral obligation, intellectual humility. Thus begins a journey of the soul toward the realm of grace...
