Such churches may invite and suffer temporary periods of unpopularity -- by standing up for West Indian immigrants, say, or refusing indiscriminate baptism. But on the whole, the storms are weathered by churches, and ministers, whose interest in the community and presentation of the faith [are] alert and genuine. Even so, the Church has every excuse for getting itself disliked: none at all for escaping notice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concerning all acts of iniative and creation, there is one elementary truth- that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Concerning all acts of iniative and creation, there is one elementary truth- that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too. -W.H.

We walked the world from sun to sun,  Logic and I, with little Faith,  But never came to Nazareth, Or found the Holy One. I sought in vain. And finally,  Back to the heart's small house I crept,  And fell upon my knees, and wept; And lo! -- He came to me!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We went to Connecticut and I met the cadets from the Coast Guard Academy because they read my book over ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34802]]></link><description><![CDATA[We went to Connecticut and I met the cadets from the Coast Guard Academy because they read my book over the summer for class,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rule #1: Don't sweat the small stuff.
