Repeatedly, the light has shone forth in the darkness, held aloft by hands that perished in the destruction of the institution that failed. Christians tend to defend the institution of their own creation with tenacity. It is institutional Christianity that has often shackled the Church... Many of the missionary institutions of the Church are expendable. They should always be treated as expendable.  ... Leonard M. Outerbridge, The Lost Churches of China July 24, 1996 Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  Men stand much upon the title of 'orthodox', by which is usually understood, not believing the doctrine of Christ or His apostles, but such opinions as are in vogue among such a party, such systems of divinity as have been compiled in haste by those whom we have in admiration; and whatever is not consonant to these little bodies of divinity, tho' possibly it agree well enough with the Word of God, is error and heresy; and whoever maintains it can hardly pass for a Christian among some angry and perverse people. I do not intend to plead for any error, but I would not have Christianity chiefly measured by matters of opinion. I know no such error and heresy as a wicked life... Of the two, I have more hopes of him that denies the divinity of Christ and lives otherwise soberly and righteously and godly in the world, than of the man who owns Christ to be the Son of God and lives like a child of the devil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense that we respect his theory that his wife ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53495]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10913]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are some forms of religion that are bad, just as there's bad cooking or bad art or bad sex, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39486]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are some forms of religion that are bad, just as there's bad cooking or bad art or bad sex, you have bad religion too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his fellow citizens. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61247]]></link><description><![CDATA[First in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his fellow citizens.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her prentice han' she tried on man, And then she made the lasses O! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48694]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her prentice han' she tried on man, And then she made the lasses O!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little bit at which you persevere is better than a lot at which you are bored. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36722]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little bit at which you persevere is better than a lot at which you are bored.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is my principle that the will of the majority should always prevail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26216]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is my principle that the will of the majority should always prevail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are harping on the same string. [Lat., Cantilenam candem canis.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9875]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are harping on the same string. [Lat., Cantilenam candem canis.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your house is really a mess and a stranger comes to the door greet him with, "Who could have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19920]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your house is really a mess and a stranger comes to the door greet him with, "Who could have done this? we have no enemies.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing until it gets there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60299]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing until it gets there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every fool finds a greater one to admire them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every fool finds a greater one to admire them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worlds best progrss springs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12424]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worlds best progrss springs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every tomorrow has two handles.
