Stipendiary clergy cut off by training and life from that common experience are constantly struggling to get close to the laity by wearing lay clothing, sharing in lay amusements, and organizing lay clubs; but they never quite succeed. To get close to men, it is necessary really to share their experience, and to share their experience is to share it by being in it, not merely to come as near to it as possible without being in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gallant Sir Robert fought hard to the end, But who can with fate and quart bumpers contend?  Though ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48701]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gallant Sir Robert fought hard to the end, But who can with fate and quart bumpers contend?  Though Fate said, a hero should perish ill light;   So up rose bright Phoebus, and down fell the knight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the media that won't move on, ...

Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people.
