At first sight, it may seem that they have only to proclaim and declare; but in fact, if their words are to enter men's hearts and bear fruit, they must be the right words, shaped cunningly to pass men's defenses and explode silently and effectually within their minds. This means, in practice, turning a face of flint toward the easy cliche, the well-worn religious cant and phraseology -- dear, no doubt, to the faithful, but utterly meaningless to those outside the fold. It means learning how people are thinking and how they are feeling; it means learning with patience, imagination and ingenuity the way to pierce apathy or blank lack of understanding. I sometimes wonder what hours of prayer and thought lie behind the apparently simple and spontaneous parables of the Gospel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pray as if everything depended on God, and work as if everything depended upon man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53662]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pray as if everything depended on God, and work as if everything depended upon man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As if thou e'er wert angry But with thy tailor! and yet that poor shred  Can bring more to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58567]]></link><description><![CDATA[As if thou e'er wert angry But with thy tailor! and yet that poor shred  Can bring more to the making up of a man,   Than can be hoped from thee; thou art his creature;    And did he not, each morning, new create thee,     Thou'dst stink and be forgotten.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Annunciation of our Lord to the Virgin Mary   Faith is rest, not toil.

It is the giving up all the former weary efforts to do or feel something good, in order to induce God to love and pardon; and the calm reception of the truth so long rejected, that God is not waiting for any such inducements, but loves and pardons of His own goodwill, and is showing that goodwill to any sinner who will come to Him on such a footing, casting away his own poor performances or goodnesses, and relying implicitly upon the free love of Him who so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is it not odd that the only generous person I ever knew, who had money to be generous with, should ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17272]]></link><description><![CDATA[Is it not odd that the only generous person I ever knew, who had money to be generous with, should be a stockbroker.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True politeness consists in being easy one's self, and in making every one about one as easy as one can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10449]]></link><description><![CDATA[True politeness consists in being easy one's self, and in making every one about one as easy as one can.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They didn't have a strong inside game, but their outside game was good.
