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[I think there is significant confusion at the Fed itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36351]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think there is significant confusion at the Fed itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The uncompromising attitude is more indicative of an inner uncertainty than a deep conviction.

We also are not worrying about immortality, hardly believe in it, or at least are not sure; we, too, have limited ourselves to this dust-speck of time, leaving unclaimed the vast inheritance beyond of which Christ told us; we, too, are putting all our zeal and passion and enthusiasm into things of this earth here, quite sure that that is the only road to progress, and that this everlasting chatter about the soul is quite beside the point. And they are all so earnest and so certain, work so hard, are animated often by such lofty motives, are so sure that there is really no manner of need for Christ: that given this, and this, and this, each of them pushing forward his particular panacea -- the world will manage very well; that to talk about Christ, and changing people's hearts, and making us new creatures, is merely to lose precious time and wander from the practical into vague day-dreaming of which nothing comes. And year by year their voices grow a little harder, and they eye Christ more and more askance, feel sourly that He is a bit of a nuisance and a stumbling-block to progress, keeping people quiet who should not be quiet, lulling them with these dim, immaterial, fantastic, spiritual hopes of His which they think have no body, and can not have. Once more the whisper grows, "Were He not far better away?" Meantime we can ignore Him, they say; and they do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He prayeth best who loveth best All things, both great and small. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48053]]></link><description><![CDATA[He prayeth best who loveth best All things, both great and small.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She was very passionate about the Children's Clinic.
