In fact, I believe that this government effort is a fishing expedition that unnecessarily disrupts the normal business operations of resellers and the manufacturers that supply them. If the government thought something was really wrong, they wouldn't have cast such a wide net to go hunting.

Stipendiary clergy cut off by training and life from that common experience are constantly struggling to get close to the laity by wearing lay clothing, sharing in lay amusements, and organizing lay clubs; but they never quite succeed. To get close to men, it is necessary really to share their experience, and to share their experience is to share it by being in it, not merely to come as near to it as possible without being in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1176]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.

It is only in the secondary esoteric sphere of the religious life that we find guarantees and a general attempt to compel faith. To demand guarantees and proofs of faith is to fail to understand its very nature by denying the free, heroic act which it inspires. In really authentic and original religious experience, to the existence of which the history of the human spirit bears abundant witness, faith springs up without the aid of guarantees and compelling proofs, without any external coercion or the use of authority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6549</guid></item></channel></rss>
