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[Children love to be alone because alone is where they know themselves, and where they dream. - The Man in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Children love to be alone because alone is where they know themselves, and where they dream. - The Man in the Water, 1994.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Figures won't lie, but liars will figure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27854]]></link><description><![CDATA[Figures won't lie, but liars will figure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To say the truth, though I say 't that should not say 't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59798]]></link><description><![CDATA[To say the truth, though I say 't that should not say 't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's said in Hollywood that you should always forgive your enemies - because you never know when you'll have to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8234]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's said in Hollywood that you should always forgive your enemies - because you never know when you'll have to work with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You really have to experience the feeling of being with the president in the oval office. ...
