Dull? Is it 'dull' that Jesse James once got bitten on the forehead by an ant, and at first it didn't seem like anything, but then the bite got worse and worse, so he went to a doctor in town, and the secretary told him to wait, so he sat down and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and then finally he got to see the doctor, and the doctor put some salve on it? You call that dull?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh! too convincing--dangerously dear-- In woman's eye the unanswerable tear!  That weapon of her weakness she can wield,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh! too convincing--dangerously dear-- In woman's eye the unanswerable tear!  That weapon of her weakness she can wield,   To save, subdue--at once her spear and shield.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loneliness is and always has been the central and inevitable experience of every man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25527]]></link><description><![CDATA[Loneliness is and always has been the central and inevitable experience of every man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be happy.

I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold.

A great many people sermonising in our churches today would be better off and of greater service if they absolved themselves from the bondage and disciplines of the pulpit and came down among their congregations, teaching informally on sounder educational principles. After all, the vital matter in the ministry of the Word is not that a clergyman delivers himself of a discourse but that the people to whom he ministers end up being taught something. The tragedy is that the professional clergy have been trained to sermonise and they seem overwhelmed with fears and a sense of insecurity when they contemplate other methods. A further problem, of course, is that most of our churches contain a significant number of people who become emotionally disturbed at any departure from what they have always done in the past. To them, the sermon is part of their Christianity -- even if it bores them stiff!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You not supposed to feel down over whatever happen to you.
