It will often be his duty, therefore, to establish a certain economy in the internal life of the Church, so that people are released to give time and energy to fulfilment of their Christian duty in the worlds of industry or politics or business or professional life, where their most determinative decisions have to be taken. A new puritanism is urgently needed in most churches, which cuts away ruthlessly from their life all organizations and activities which prevent their members from grappling with their real task.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, gentle dames! it gars we greet, To think how mony consels sweet,  How mony lengthened, sage advices,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/774]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, gentle dames! it gars we greet, To think how mony consels sweet,  How mony lengthened, sage advices,   The husband frae the wife despises.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it's not growing, it's going to die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21633]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it's not growing, it's going to die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got to be prepared on the local level. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28823]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've got to be prepared on the local level.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The anointed don't like to talk about painful trade-offs.

He observes many different kinds of peace prevailing in the world he inhabits. Not all of them are good. For example, there is the peace that death brings, the peace of the tomb. Today it could be called the peace of Auschwitz. Hitler tried to "make peace" with the Jews by seeking their "final solution"; but the evangelical would fight rather than submit to such a peace. There is also the peace of slavery and subjection, the Pax Romana. Dictators are very fond of the Roman peace. Today it could be called the peace of Tibet. The nation of Tibet has been completely stripped of its personality in our generation by Communist China without a single protest being made in front of a single embassy. Again, there is peace that is artificially induced in men. Among individuals it is the peace of the tranquilizer, the peace of withdrawal and schizophrenia, the peace of the brain-washed prisoner. Should large-scale chemical warfare break our, we are told, whole cities could be sprayed and pacified by such drugs. The evangelical is not interested in paying such high prices for the sake of peace. He would rather stay free, and alive, and in his right mind, prepared to fight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64297]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously if you're among the three per cent that didn't get it within 12 months you're going to be concerned, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obviously if you're among the three per cent that didn't get it within 12 months you're going to be concerned, and rightly so,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only gain from the friendship of the great is a fine dinner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50503]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only gain from the friendship of the great is a fine dinner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Went in at the one eare and out at the other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Went in at the one eare and out at the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65031]]></link><description><![CDATA[A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll prove in only seven days that I can make you a new man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31403]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll prove in only seven days that I can make you a new man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loneliness is about the scariest thing out there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Loneliness is about the scariest thing out there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are souls that are incurable and lost to the rest of society.
