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[Many men of course became extremely rich, but this was perfectly natural and nothing to be ashamed of because no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many men of course became extremely rich, but this was perfectly natural and nothing to be ashamed of because no one was really poor, at least no one worth speaking of.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's so amazing, if I can use that word, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39237]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's so amazing, if I can use that word,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I received his resignation in the morning, and we will discuss it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28994]]></link><description><![CDATA[I received his resignation in the morning, and we will discuss it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let thy step be slow and steady, that thou stumble not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63812]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let thy step be slow and steady, that thou stumble not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have always believed that all things depended upon Fortune, and nothing upon ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27692]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have always believed that all things depended upon Fortune, and nothing upon ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better is the sinner who hath thoughts about God, than the saint who hath only the show of sanctity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15210]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better is the sinner who hath thoughts about God, than the saint who hath only the show of sanctity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we have no respect for our viewers, then how can we have any respect for ourselves and what we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31752]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we have no respect for our viewers, then how can we have any respect for ourselves and what we do?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39148]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're thrilled with the turnout.
