Because of the role they have been willing to play, when they use the word God it is heard in a certain way. It is heard, often with deference and usually with courtesy, as a word referring to the linchpin of the era of Christendom (past) or as the totem of one of the tribal subcultures (irrelevant). The only way clergy can ever change the way in which the word they use is perceived is to refuse to play the role of antiquarian and medicine man in which the society casts them; but this is difficult, because it is what they are paid for.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each man has his fancy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50824]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each man has his fancy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music never dies.

The day and the spirit of Christmas rearrange the world parade. As the world arranges it, usually there come first in importance -- leading the parade with a big blare of a band -- the Big Shots. Frequently they are also the Stuffed Shirts. That's the first of the parade. Then at the tail end, as of little importance, trudge the weary, the poor, the lame, the halt, and the blind. But in the Christmas spirit, the procession is turned around. Those at the tail end are put first in the arrangement of the Child of Christmas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hope that in the next few hours, or thereabouts, we will get more concrete information about these hostages, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34273]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hope that in the next few hours, or thereabouts, we will get more concrete information about these hostages,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are really just shuffling the problem around as opposed to dealing with the root cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42167]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are really just shuffling the problem around as opposed to dealing with the root cause.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's not a whole lot of feeling to it, ...

John Henry Newman  September 10, 2000   Evangelism is not an option for the Christian life.   ... Luis Palau  September 11, 2000   Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle [Samoa]... Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not be, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.   ... Robert Louis Stevenson  September 12, 2000   Devotion is the real spiritual sweetness which takes away all bitterness from mortifications, and prevents consolations from disagreeing with the soul; it cures the poor of sadness, and the rich of presumption; it keeps the oppressed from feeling desolate, and the prosperous from insolence: it averts sadness from the lonely, and dissipation from social life; it is as warmth in winter and as refreshing dew in summer; it knows how to abound and how to suffer want, how to profit alike by honour and by contempt; it accepts gladness and sadness with an even mind, and fills men's hearts with a wondrous sweetness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Desperate courage makes One a majority. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26210]]></link><description><![CDATA[Desperate courage makes One a majority.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are invited to drink at any man's house more than you think is wholesome, you may say "you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12997]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are invited to drink at any man's house more than you think is wholesome, you may say "you wish you could, but so little makes you both drunk and sick; that you should only be bad company by doing so."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we plan to do with that money is fund our state highway new-construction program for the next 10 years. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35291]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we plan to do with that money is fund our state highway new-construction program for the next 10 years.
