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[It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28043]]></link><description><![CDATA[It took me fifteen years to discover I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me . . .

If you have to do with one who is unquestionably a slanderer, do not excuse him by calling him frank and free-spoken; do not call one who is notoriously vain, liberal and elegant; do not call dangerous levities mere simplicity; do not screen disobedience under the name of zeal; or arrogance, of frankness; or evil intimacy, of friendship. No, my friends, we must never, in our wish to shun slander, foster or flatter vice in others: but we must call evil evil, and sin sin, and so doing we shall serve God's glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The believer is happy; the doubter is wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12772]]></link><description><![CDATA[The believer is happy; the doubter is wise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In addressing the matter of a speculative housing bubble, the more important question to answer is: are these robust economic ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32209]]></link><description><![CDATA[In addressing the matter of a speculative housing bubble, the more important question to answer is: are these robust economic fundamentals in Vancouver strong enough to support such price gains?
