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[Kill a man's family, and he may brook it, But keep your hands out of his breeches' pocket. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kill a man's family, and he may brook it, But keep your hands out of his breeches' pocket.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Johnson has] been a visionary, ...

People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The manner in which one endures what must be endured is more important than the thing that must be endured. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13803]]></link><description><![CDATA[The manner in which one endures what must be endured is more important than the thing that must be endured.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is there evil but on earth?
