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[Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20232]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not he who scorns the Saviour's yoke Should wear his cross upon the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woman throughout the ages has been mistress to the law, as man has been its master. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woman throughout the ages has been mistress to the law, as man has been its master.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mother's menu consisted of two choices: Take it or leave it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10158]]></link><description><![CDATA[My mother's menu consisted of two choices: Take it or leave it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is hard to tell if a man is telling the truth when you know you would lie if you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26156]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is hard to tell if a man is telling the truth when you know you would lie if you were in his place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that serves, must serve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49394]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that serves, must serve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That 's a perilous shot out of an elder-gun. -King Henry V.

If he does accept the latter, then the results of his research will in all probability contradict the beliefs of the Church, but this is because he has begged the question from the start. In examining, for instance, the evidence for the virginal conception [of Jesus], if he begins with the presupposition that such an event is impossible he will end with the same conclusion; if he begins with the presupposition that it is possible he may end with the conclusion that the evidence for it is good or that it is bad or that it is inconclusive. This is as far as scholarship can take him. The Christian will accept the virginal conception as part of the Church's faith.

For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them. Invariable "success" in prayer would not prove the Christian doctrine at all. It would prove something more like magic -- a power in certain human beings to control, or compel, the course of nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst of failure of this kind is that it spoils the market for more competent performers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36980]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst of failure of this kind is that it spoils the market for more competent performers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will never have anything you don't respect, including lot's of money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63219]]></link><description><![CDATA[You will never have anything you don't respect, including lot's of money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here beauty hangs upon the cheek of night, Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here beauty hangs upon the cheek of night, Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The road to success is filled with women pushing their husbands along. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58151]]></link><description><![CDATA[The road to success is filled with women pushing their husbands along.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human contribution is the essential ingredient. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34756]]></link><description><![CDATA[The human contribution is the essential ingredient.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Someone who thinks the world is always cheating him is right.
