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[Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, filling it with a steady and perpetual serenity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, filling it with a steady and perpetual serenity]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resignation is the timid sign of courage ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53940]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resignation is the timid sign of courage]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good enough never is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22502]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good enough never is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They try to put all the information on the Web site. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40459]]></link><description><![CDATA[They try to put all the information on the Web site.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you will discipline yourself to make your mind self-sufficient you will thereby be least vulnerable to injury from the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1069]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you will discipline yourself to make your mind self-sufficient you will thereby be least vulnerable to injury from the outside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take what you can use and let the rest go by ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take what you can use and let the rest go by]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flirting is the art of keeping intimacy at a safe distance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16237]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flirting is the art of keeping intimacy at a safe distance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64229]]></link><description><![CDATA[Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The candidate was required to prepare himself by confession, fasting, and passing the night in prayer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36596]]></link><description><![CDATA[The candidate was required to prepare himself by confession, fasting, and passing the night in prayer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who runs behind truck is exhausted, he who runs in front of truck is tired. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46475]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who runs behind truck is exhausted, he who runs in front of truck is tired.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64299]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is one of the highest shot totals we have had ever.
