The problem is doubtless complicated, for there are many honest differences held with equal sincerity, but it is only made insoluble because the different denominations are (possibly unconsciously) imagining God to be Roman or Anglican or Baptist or Methodist or Presbyterian or what have you. If they could see beyond their little inadequate god, and glimpse the reality of God, they might even laugh a little and perhaps weep a little. The result would be a unity that actually does transcend differences, instead of ignoring them with public politeness and private contempt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bigamy is one way of avoiding the painful publicity of divorce and the expense of alimony. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27202]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bigamy is one way of avoiding the painful publicity of divorce and the expense of alimony.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2615]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If they [teams] don't call me ... wow, I might retire.

But if the other members also have sinned, why should they not fast, too... Let the eye fast from strange sights and from every wantonness, so that that which roamed in freedom in fault-doing may, abundantly humbled, be checked by penitence. Let the ear, blameably eager to listen, fast from tales and rumors, and from whatsoever is of idle import, and tendeth least to salvation. Let the tongue fast from slanders and murmurings, and from useless, vain, and scurrilous words, and sometimes also, in the seriousness of silence, even from things which may seem of essential import. Let the hand abstain from ... all toils which are not imperatively necessary. But also let the soul herself abstain from all evils and from acting out her own will. For without such abstinence the other things find no favor with the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only disability in life is a bad attitude. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3439]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only disability in life is a bad attitude.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tight little bundle of wailing and flannel, Perplex'd with the newly found fardel of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3641]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tight little bundle of wailing and flannel, Perplex'd with the newly found fardel of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the end that crowns us, not the fight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13782]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the end that crowns us, not the fight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oil is being propped up by all the concerns that supplies will be interrupted.
