How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am mortal.

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[You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17042]]></link><description><![CDATA[You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we had one (prairie dog) die, it was right under the swing set - right there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28955]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we had one (prairie dog) die, it was right under the swing set - right there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I pay the schoolmaster but 'tis the schoolboys who educate my son. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24583]]></link><description><![CDATA[I pay the schoolmaster but 'tis the schoolboys who educate my son.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23596]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63904]]></link><description><![CDATA[All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now I've stopped wearing huge trousers I can't wear boxer shorts.

But he could not read Latin, and so the Scriptures were a closed book to him. However, he hired two money-minded priests, who, in violation of strict regulations, translated the Bible for him into Provençal, the language of southern France. The content of the Word of God made such an impression upon this earnest man that he gave up his business, took upon himself a vow of poverty, and dedicated himself to the simple preaching of the contents of God's Word.  The Latin of the Church only mystified its hearers [but] Waldo's humble preaching edified the souls of men. His words were not spectacular but powerful, as he pleaded with them to repent. Much of his preaching and that of his followers consisted in reciting long passages of Scripture in the vernacular. Many of them could not afford an expensive handwritten copy of the Bible, and the ecclesiastical authorities could too easily rob them of such a book; but they could not erase the words which were treasured in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No matter what side of the argument you are on, you always find people on your side that you wish ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3070]]></link><description><![CDATA[No matter what side of the argument you are on, you always find people on your side that you wish were on the other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3070</guid></item></channel></rss>
