For actual behaviour infallibly betrays the real object of the man's worship. All Christians, whatever their Church, would of course instantly repudiate the idea that their god was a super-example of their own denomination, and it is not suggested that the worship is conscious. Nevertheless, beneath the conscious critical level of the mind it is perfectly possible for the Anglo-Catholic, for example, to conceive God as particularly pleased with Anglo-Catholicism, doubtful about Evangelicalism, and frankly displeased by all forms of Nonconformity... The ultra-low Churchman on the other hand must admit, if he is honest, that the God whom he worships disapproves most strongly of vestments, incense, and candles on the altar. The tragedy of these examples -- which could be reproduced ad nauseam any day of the week -- is not difference of opinion, which will probably be with us till the Day of Judgment, but the outrageous folly and damnable sin of trying to regard God as the Party Leader of a particular point of view.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind conscious of innocence despises false reports: but we are a set always ready to believe a scandal. [Lat., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54750]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind conscious of innocence despises false reports: but we are a set always ready to believe a scandal. [Lat., Conscia mens recti famae mendacia risit:  Sed nos in vitium credula turba sumus.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There seems to be a terrible misunderstanding on the part of a great many people to the effect that when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53602]]></link><description><![CDATA[There seems to be a terrible misunderstanding on the part of a great many people to the effect that when you cease to believe you may cease to behave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In everything the middle course is the best; everything in excess brings trouble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14452]]></link><description><![CDATA[In everything the middle course is the best; everything in excess brings trouble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['My country, right or wrong' is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10220]]></link><description><![CDATA['My country, right or wrong' is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case.

Expressed more sharply, he has a strong sense of the Creator-creature distinction, never of merging or absorption. Or, to put it more sharply still, a Christian has a sense of his moral sin and not just of his metaphysical smallness in the face of the beyond. The dilemma for man is not who he is but what he has done. His predicament is not that he is small, but that he is sinful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes.

This obsession with roots will be felt especially keenly by foundlings, who often have no way of exploring their family histories.] I notice that genealogical sites now have warnings on them saying people should be ready for little surprises, ... They're not all going to find themselves descended from King Henry VIII or Richard Cur de Lion or Wellington. This is rather strange because it was pretty taken for granted a few generations ago that families had all kinds of little moments where things had gone not according to the book. It was just one of those things. You tried to accommodate it. There was no social welfare. You just had to sort it out within villages, the families, the parish. Children went to the workhouse, but people knew about it.
