Everyone else is, too. I started asking people, "Are you scared, too?" "You bet your sweet life I am." "Aha, so that's the way it is for you, too." We were all in the same boat. That's probably what is so effective at our workshops. When I ask, "Who else feels like this?" the whole room of hands goes up.

For actual behaviour infallibly betrays the real object of the man's worship. All Christians, whatever their Church, would of course instantly repudiate the idea that their god was a super-example of their own denomination, and it is not suggested that the worship is conscious. Nevertheless, beneath the conscious critical level of the mind it is perfectly possible for the Anglo-Catholic, for example, to conceive God as particularly pleased with Anglo-Catholicism, doubtful about Evangelicalism, and frankly displeased by all forms of Nonconformity... The ultra-low Churchman on the other hand must admit, if he is honest, that the God whom he worships disapproves most strongly of vestments, incense, and candles on the altar. The tragedy of these examples -- which could be reproduced ad nauseam any day of the week -- is not difference of opinion, which will probably be with us till the Day of Judgment, but the outrageous folly and damnable sin of trying to regard God as the Party Leader of a particular point of view.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8745]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can let circumstances rule us, or we can take charge and rule our lives from within.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context -- a chair in a room, a room ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9552]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context -- a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan. - "Time", July 2, 1956.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may shelve your Shakespearian plans for the present.
