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[It is as important to cultivate your silence power as your word power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56297]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is as important to cultivate your silence power as your word power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't really have an image of myself.

And here and there in the New Testament, we blunder in on Christ and find Him on His knees; and, once at least, ere we can escape, cannot but overhear Him pleading our names. "Neither pray I for these alone," that is, for Peter and John and the rest, "but for those who will believe through them"-- that is, for you and me. Hush! the Lord Christ is praying for you! And what is it He asks for us? That we be given such a spirit of unity and brotherliness and Christlikeness that people, coming upon us, will look at us, and look again, and then from us to Jesus Christ, seeking the explanation of us there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex is like snow...
