The temptation to institutionalism is always with us, and who will profess himself guiltless? We reduce Christianity to the service of an institution, the Church, for this enables us to be active in what is fondly called "the work of the Lord," while at the same time failing to grapple with the fundamental problem for all Christians, that of winning our generation for Christ. In our little circle of like-minded people we condemn outsiders because they do not come in. Perhaps we even make half-hearted attempts to get them to come in. And then we snuggle down again in the warmth of our fellowship, comforted that we have done all that might reasonably be expected of men in our situation. Fortified with this consolation we concentrate on keeping the institution, the Church, running as it should.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Successful villany is called virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51184]]></link><description><![CDATA[Successful villany is called virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[HIPPOGRIFF, n.

This unification of speaker and listener is actually and extension and enlargement of ourselves, and new knowledge is always gained from this. Moreover, since true listening involves bracketing, a setting aside of the self, it also temporarily involves a total acceptance of the other. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will fell less and less vulnerable and more and more inclined to open up the inner recesses of his or her mind to the listener. As this happens, speaker and listener begin to appreciate each other more and more, and the duet dance of love is begun again. -M. Scott Peck.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every youth owes it to himself and to the world to make the most possible out of the stuff that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62595]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every youth owes it to himself and to the world to make the most possible out of the stuff that is in him...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This nation has dehumanized its adversariescalling them Huns, wops, gooks, Japs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/750]]></link><description><![CDATA[This nation has dehumanized its adversariescalling them Huns, wops, gooks, Japs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Claret is the liquor for boys; port for men; but he who aspires to be a hero must drink brandy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19267]]></link><description><![CDATA[Claret is the liquor for boys; port for men; but he who aspires to be a hero must drink brandy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The blest to-day is as completely so, As who began a thousand years ago. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4320]]></link><description><![CDATA[The blest to-day is as completely so, As who began a thousand years ago.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, where is loyalty? If it be banished from the frosty head,  Where shall it find a harbor in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15632]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, where is loyalty? If it be banished from the frosty head,  Where shall it find a harbor in the earth?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, I will fasten on this sleeve of thine: Thou art an elm, my husband, I a vine,  Whose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46673]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come, I will fasten on this sleeve of thine: Thou art an elm, my husband, I a vine,  Whose weakness married to thy stronger state   Makes with me thy strength to communicate.    If aught possess thee from me, it is dross,     Usurping ivy, brier, or idle moss;      Who all for want of pruning, with intrusion       Infect thy sap and live on thy confusion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered animals, how can we expect any ideal living conditions on this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60455]]></link><description><![CDATA[While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered animals, how can we expect any ideal living conditions on this earth?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54234]]></link><description><![CDATA[Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I got a simple rule about everybody.
