As a plain matter of fact, religion in this country is generally regarded as a tolerated pastime for such people as happen to like to indulge in occasional godly exercises -- as a strictly private matter in an increasingly close-knit and socially acting society -- in other words, as something that does not count. I should like to see the Church recognize that it has been pushed into the realm of the non-essentials, and to persuade it to fight like fury for the right and the duty to bring every act of America and Americans before the bar of God's judgment. [Christian leaders] are making valiant claim to such a right and duty; but the great mass of Church members are content to regard the Church as a conglomerate of private culture clubs, nice for christenings, weddings and funerals. Most Church members readily agree with the unchurched majority that it is not the proper business of the Church to criticize America or Americans.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They only fall, that strive to move, Or lose, that care to keep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12072]]></link><description><![CDATA[They only fall, that strive to move, Or lose, that care to keep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11941]]></link><description><![CDATA[About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The beauteous eyes of the spring's fair night With comfort are downward gazing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57793]]></link><description><![CDATA[The beauteous eyes of the spring's fair night With comfort are downward gazing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because of their courage, their lack of fear, they (creative people) are willing to make silly mistakes.

The truly creative person is one who can think crazy; such a person knows full well that many of his great ideas will prove to be worthless.
