Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beautiful sanctuaries, paved parking lots, and new liturgies will do very little for people who sit in worship with their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7850]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beautiful sanctuaries, paved parking lots, and new liturgies will do very little for people who sit in worship with their fingers crossed and do not really believe the faith which is expounded. Often the layman dismisses what the preacher says as something irrelevant to his situation and generation. When he joins a group where he is no longer afraid to be frank, the supposedly faithful member often admits that he has never really accepted what he thinks he has heard. He has, for example, grave reservations about the idea of creation. Did not the world evolve of itself? Do we really need the hypothesis of Infinite Purpose to make sense of the physical, biological, and psychological development? These questions seldom come to the surface when the Church provides merely a one-way preaching. There is little chance of renewal if all that we have is the arrangement by which one speaks and the others listen. One trouble with this conventional system is that the speaker never knows what the unanswered questions are, or what reservations remain in the layman's mentality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nation of monkeys with the throat of parrots. [Fr., Une natione de singes a larynx de parroquets.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16623]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nation of monkeys with the throat of parrots. [Fr., Une natione de singes a larynx de parroquets.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43813]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul's estate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24608]]></link><description><![CDATA[He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul's estate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, how cruelly sweet are the echoes that start When Memory plays an old tune on the heart! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, how cruelly sweet are the echoes that start When Memory plays an old tune on the heart!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For style beyond the genius never dares. [Fr., Che stilo oltra l'ingegno non si stende.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58097]]></link><description><![CDATA[For style beyond the genius never dares. [Fr., Che stilo oltra l'ingegno non si stende.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas Eve The soft light from a stable door  Lies on the midnight lands; The wise men's star burns ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6852]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christmas Eve The soft light from a stable door  Lies on the midnight lands; The wise men's star burns evermore,  Over all the desert sands.
