The world wants to see redemption: it is not interested in being talked to about it. A church which is not outward looking... has ceased to be a church as the Body of Christ and has instead become a club for the benefit of its members.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hitting rock bottom theory is all very well.

But he could not read Latin, and so the Scriptures were a closed book to him. However, he hired two money-minded priests, who, in violation of strict regulations, translated the Bible for him into Provençal, the language of southern France. The content of the Word of God made such an impression upon this earnest man that he gave up his business, took upon himself a vow of poverty, and dedicated himself to the simple preaching of the contents of God's Word.  The Latin of the Church only mystified its hearers [but] Waldo's humble preaching edified the souls of men. His words were not spectacular but powerful, as he pleaded with them to repent. Much of his preaching and that of his followers consisted in reciting long passages of Scripture in the vernacular. Many of them could not afford an expensive handwritten copy of the Bible, and the ecclesiastical authorities could too easily rob them of such a book; but they could not erase the words which were treasured in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This program is meant to keep the joints moving and gain some mobility that is lost through arthritis, ...

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[If, as I can't help suspecting, the dead also feel the pains of separation (and this may be one of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4155]]></link><description><![CDATA[If, as I can't help suspecting, the dead also feel the pains of separation (and this may be one of their purgatorial sufferings), then for both lovers, and for all pairs of lovers without exception, bereavement is a universal and integral part of our experience of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To have done, is to hang Quite out of fashion, like a rusty mail  In monumental mockery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51276]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have done, is to hang Quite out of fashion, like a rusty mail  In monumental mockery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek not to inquire what the morrow will bring with it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek not to inquire what the morrow will bring with it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is a positive cash flow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is a positive cash flow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tradition is the illusion of permanance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59523]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tradition is the illusion of permanance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I haven't touched my brother in almost 18 years.(in reference to cruel prison regulations in Mansfield Ohioprison)http://www.kennyisinnocent.org http://www.petitiononline.com/manci. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/267]]></link><description><![CDATA[I haven't touched my brother in almost 18 years.(in reference to cruel prison regulations in Mansfield Ohioprison)http://www.kennyisinnocent.org http://www.petitiononline.com/manci.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people of action are inclined to fatalism and most of thought believe in providence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1309]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people of action are inclined to fatalism and most of thought believe in providence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This damage is straight line winds that took a long and narrow path. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33182]]></link><description><![CDATA[This damage is straight line winds that took a long and narrow path.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man must love a thing very much if he not only practices it without any hope of fame and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66868]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man must love a thing very much if he not only practices it without any hope of fame and money, but even... without any hope of doing it well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever makes two ears of corn, or two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before, deserves better ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46903]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever makes two ears of corn, or two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before, deserves better of mankind, and does more essential service to his country than the whole race of politicians put together]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A horse!
