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[I'm careful not to give into theatrics when times are tough, I don't like it when somebody gives into outside ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48172]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm careful not to give into theatrics when times are tough, I don't like it when somebody gives into outside pressure and puts on a show for others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This cat has been terrorizing people with cats.

He made full use of it as an impressive statement of high ethical ideals; even its ritual practices He treated with perfect tolerance where they did not conflict with fundamental moral obligations. From Pharisaic formalism He appealed to the relative simplicity of the venerable written Law. But again from the written Law itself He appealed to the basic rights and duties of humanity: the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath; the Law might permit the dissolution of marriage, but there was something more deeply rooted in the nature of things which forbade it; the [law of retaliation], the central principle of legal justice, must go overboard in the interest of the holy impulse to love your neighbor, not merely as yourself, but as God has loved you. Such freehanded dealing meant that the whole notion of morality as a code of rules, with sanctions of rewards and punishments, was abandoned. But the average Christian was slow to see this implication. For instance, Jesus had taken fasting out of the class of meritorious acts, and given it a place only as the fitting and spontaneous expression of certain spiritual states. This is what an early authoritative catechism of the Church made of His teaching: "Let not your fast be made with the hypocrites, for they fast on Monday and Thursday; ye therefore shall fast on Wednesday and Friday." It sounds ludicrous, but we may ask, Was it not on some very similar principle that the Church did actually carry through its reconstruction of "religious observance"? And a Church which so perverted Christ's treatment of the ritual law proved itself almost equally incapable of understanding His drastic revision of the moral law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The shad-bush, white with flowers, Brightened the glens; the new leaved butternut  And quivering poplar to the roving breeze ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59674]]></link><description><![CDATA[The shad-bush, white with flowers, Brightened the glens; the new leaved butternut  And quivering poplar to the roving breeze   Gave a balsamic fragrance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh a cockroach is better luck than a cricket upon the hearth for he magnetizes to your home those who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26038]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh a cockroach is better luck than a cricket upon the hearth for he magnetizes to your home those who love every heart.(typo corrected).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26038</guid></item></channel></rss>
