Now, once again may I ask you the question, Is the Church cruel when she points this out, and demands that men should see it and take account of it in all the arrangements of this life? Surely the cruelty lies with those who talk glibly about the brotherhood of man, and superficially about peace, and romantically about marriage, as though the disturbances in Church and state and family were introduced into human life by a few evil-minded men. This is the real cruelty. How will you face up later to your married life, to your administration of affairs, to your life in the Church, in fact to any real part of your lives, if you are taught to think that your neighbour will or ought to agree with you in all points, will accept your solutions of his problems, will in fact be a reflection of your image? Once we get this stuff and nonsense into our heads, we shall never be able to live with anyone or with any group of men. We shall sulk when we are crossed, or run away from the Other -- for Other they are. We shall certainly remove ourselves from the Church when we find it full of friction and yet proclaiming the love of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63718]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To minimize some of the challenges we try to standardize the process with our pre-departure orientation, binders full of information ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33275]]></link><description><![CDATA[To minimize some of the challenges we try to standardize the process with our pre-departure orientation, binders full of information on housing, registration, financial aid and other Northeastern logistics and contact details.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every crowd has a silver lining. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every crowd has a silver lining.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[one of the more enjoyable aspects of the job. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42578]]></link><description><![CDATA[one of the more enjoyable aspects of the job.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tree growing out of the ground is as wonderful today as it ever was.
