The temptation to institutionalism is always with us, and who will profess himself guiltless? We reduce Christianity to the service of an institution, the Church, for this enables us to be active in what is fondly called "the work of the Lord," while at the same time failing to grapple with the fundamental problem for all Christians, that of winning our generation for Christ. In our little circle of like-minded people we condemn outsiders because they do not come in. Perhaps we even make half-hearted attempts to get them to come in. And then we snuggle down again in the warmth of our fellowship, comforted that we have done all that might reasonably be expected of men in our situation. Fortified with this consolation we concentrate on keeping the institution, the Church, running as it should.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a species of coquetry to make a parade of never practising it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10169]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a species of coquetry to make a parade of never practising it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A novel is never anything but a philosophy put into images. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25384]]></link><description><![CDATA[A novel is never anything but a philosophy put into images.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If 17 counties have to change vendors before June, that's going to be a huge challenge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40078]]></link><description><![CDATA[If 17 counties have to change vendors before June, that's going to be a huge challenge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a choice: to plow new ground or let the weeds grow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11610]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a choice: to plow new ground or let the weeds grow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is most free from danger, who, even when safe, is on his guard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60643]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is most free from danger, who, even when safe, is on his guard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the excellent foppery of the world, that when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeits of our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16425]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the excellent foppery of the world, that when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeits of our own behavior, we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and stars; as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforced obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting on. An admirable evasion of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish disposition on the charge of a star.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1854]]></link><description><![CDATA[The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are few cases in which mere popularity should be considered a proper test of merit; but the case of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47707]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are few cases in which mere popularity should be considered a proper test of merit; but the case of song-writing is, I think, one of the few.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I understand the community isn't satisfied at all that it's here.
