At first sight, it may seem that they have only to proclaim and declare; but in fact, if their words are to enter men's hearts and bear fruit, they must be the right words, shaped cunningly to pass men's defenses and explode silently and effectually within their minds. This means, in practice, turning a face of flint toward the easy cliche, the well-worn religious cant and phraseology -- dear, no doubt, to the faithful, but utterly meaningless to those outside the fold. It means learning how people are thinking and how they are feeling; it means learning with patience, imagination and ingenuity the way to pierce apathy or blank lack of understanding. I sometimes wonder what hours of prayer and thought lie behind the apparently simple and spontaneous parables of the Gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The longer one lives, the more one realizes that nothing is a dish for every day. - The Oracle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27985]]></link><description><![CDATA[The longer one lives, the more one realizes that nothing is a dish for every day. - The Oracle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25933]]></link><description><![CDATA[As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gull shall whistle in his wake, the blind wave break in fire. He shall fulfill God's utmost will, unknowing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62122]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gull shall whistle in his wake, the blind wave break in fire. He shall fulfill God's utmost will, unknowing His desire,  And he shall see old planets pass and alien stars arise,   And give the gale his reckless sail in shadow of new skies.    Strong lust of gear shall drive him out and hunger arm his hand,     To wring his food from a desert nude, his foothold from the sand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among our own people also the church sorely needs clergy in close touch with the ordinary life of the laity, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7644]]></link><description><![CDATA[Among our own people also the church sorely needs clergy in close touch with the ordinary life of the laity, living the life of ordinary men, sharing their difficulties and understanding their trials by close personal experience. Stipendiary clergy cut off by training and life from that common experience are constantly struggling to get close to the laity by wearing lay clothing, sharing in lay amusements, and organizing lay clubs; but they never quite succeed. To get close to men, it is necessary really to share their experience, and to share their experience is to share it by being in it, not merely to come as near to it as possible without being in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This meeting greatly strengthened my conviction that cooperation between both countries may have another strong boost.

Their sublime deeds of faith, daring, and self-sacrifice usually spring from questionable motives. The weak hate not wickedness but weakness; and one instance of their hatred of weakness is hatred of self. All the passionate pursuits of the weak are in some degree a striving to escape, blur, or disguise an unwanted self. It is a striving shot through with malice, envy, self-deception, and a host of petty impulses; yet it often culminates in superb achievements.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tony (Queen) and Ray (String) did a phenomenal job defensively on Hurtado.
