But this knowledge shall be no shame to thee if that thou be saved, but rather a witness to God -- right as we read of the deeds of Mary Magdalene [as] her witness to God and not to her reproof.   ... Middle English Sermons  July 20, 2002 Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566   Our union with God -- his presence with us, in which our aloneness is banished and the meaning and full purpose of human existence is realized -- consists chiefly in a conversational relationship with God while we are each consistently and deeply engaged as his friend and colaborer in the affairs of the kingdom of the heavens.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fanaticism is . . . overcompensation for doubt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12773]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fanaticism is . . . overcompensation for doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one boss.

It was no use preaching the gospel only to those who came to church to hear it. The gospel ought to be preached to those who didn't want to hear it as well: to industrialists in their offices, to clubmen in their windows, to workers in their yards and factories, to bibbers in their taverns, to harlots in their doorways, to all those should the sweet tidings of Christ be taught. It was a sorry matter for reflection that it was only heretics who dared to brave the sneers of the mob by crying aloud the Name of Jesus at street corners and in the market place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day  When ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57788]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day  When the sun is out and the wind is still,   You're one month on in the middle of May.    But if you so much as dare to speak,     A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,      A wind comes off a frozen peak,       And you're two months back in the middle of March.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am neither a sociologist nor a politician.
