You have only so much Religion as serves to disquiet you, to show you a handwriting on the wall, to interrupt your pleasures, and to appear as a death's-head at all your feasts, but not Religion enough to give you a taste and feeling of its pleasures. You dare not wholly neglect Religion, but then you take no more than is just sufficient to keep you from being a terror to yourself, and you are as loth to be very good as you are fearful to be very bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They figured they would be moving, downsizing or able to pay it off. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35329]]></link><description><![CDATA[They figured they would be moving, downsizing or able to pay it off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clothe with life the weak intent, let me be the thing I meant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53971]]></link><description><![CDATA[Clothe with life the weak intent, let me be the thing I meant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It defies understanding to say that if we're building only three or four new schools, we may not need buses. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38474]]></link><description><![CDATA[It defies understanding to say that if we're building only three or four new schools, we may not need buses.

Often the layman dismisses what the preacher says as something irrelevant to his situation and generation. When he joins a group where he is no longer afraid to be frank, the supposedly faithful member often admits that he has never really accepted what he thinks he has heard. He has, for example, grave reservations about the idea of creation. Did not the world evolve of itself? Do we really need the hypothesis of Infinite Purpose to make sense of the physical, biological, and psychological development? These questions seldom come to the surface when the Church provides merely a one-way preaching. There is little chance of renewal if all that we have is the arrangement by which one speaks and the others listen. One trouble with this conventional system is that the speaker never knows what the unanswered questions are, or what reservations remain in the layman's mentality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, Italy had been overrun by the War, there had practically been civil war, north and south of the Gothic ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35745]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, Italy had been overrun by the War, there had practically been civil war, north and south of the Gothic Line, heavy bombing, the northern industrial cities had been bombed heavily and we had political disorder before 1948.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, knit hands, and beat the ground In a light fantastic round. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come, knit hands, and beat the ground In a light fantastic round.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coincidence is logical. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57766]]></link><description><![CDATA[Coincidence is logical.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For every man there is something in the vocabulary that would stick to him like a second skin.

This speaks for God in an age of inhumanity and impersonality and facelessness. When people look at us, their reaction should be, "These are human people" -- human, because we know that we differ from the animal, the plant, and the machine; and that personality is native to what has always been [human]. If they cannot look upon us and say, "They are real people", nothing else is enough.
