Evelyn Underhill November 30, 1996 Andrew the Apostle  With his continual doctrine [Bishop Hooper] adjoined due and discreet correction, not so much severe to any as to them which for abundance of riches and wealthy state thought they might do what they listed. And doubtless he spared no kind of people, but was indifferent to all men, as well rich as poor, to the great shame of no small number of men nowadays. Whereas many we see so addicted to the pleasing of great and rich men, that in the meantime they have no regard to the meaner sort of poor people, whom Christ hath bought as dearly as the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A baseball fan is a spectator sitting 500 feet from home plate who can see better than an umpire standing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3769]]></link><description><![CDATA[A baseball fan is a spectator sitting 500 feet from home plate who can see better than an umpire standing five feet away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is much more difficult to measure nonperformance than performance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64218]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is much more difficult to measure nonperformance than performance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has been called a mediocre man; but this is unwarranted flattery.

But this was not the issue, quite. In this case the choice was between being a good Methodist and a good American, and being a tribal religionist. But the theological problem of churches without discipline comes into stark outline in the quotation. Inadequately trained for membership, admitted without preparatory training, without the proper instruments of voluntary discipline, many members have never had the discontinuity between life in Christ and life in the world brought home to them. Here the ordinary members are less at fault than the leadership of the churches, who -- though sworn to uphold the form of sound words and doctrine -- neglect catechetical instruction and concentrate solely on the acquisition of more new members at any price.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The remedy is worse than the disease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12481]]></link><description><![CDATA[The remedy is worse than the disease.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59895]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pretexts are not wanting when one wishes to use them. [It., Non mancano pretesti quando si vuole.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11527]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pretexts are not wanting when one wishes to use them. [It., Non mancano pretesti quando si vuole.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My bark, once struck by the fury of the storm, dreads again to approach the place of danger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50745]]></link><description><![CDATA[My bark, once struck by the fury of the storm, dreads again to approach the place of danger.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In every woman there is a Queen.
