It would not be true to affirm that the denominations are not religious groups with religious purposes; but it is true that they represent the accommodation of religion to the caste system. They are emblems, therefore, of the victory of the world over the church, of the secularization of Christianity, of the church's sanction of that divisiveness which the church's gospel condemns.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our bodies are apt to be our autobiographies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our bodies are apt to be our autobiographies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an amazing feeling to have, I find it very hard to believe, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29670]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's an amazing feeling to have, I find it very hard to believe,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the swallows homeward fly, When the roses scattered lie,  When from neither hill or dale,   Chants ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4234]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the swallows homeward fly, When the roses scattered lie,  When from neither hill or dale,   Chants the silvery nightingale:    In these works my bleeding heart     Would to thee its brief impart;      When I thus thy image lose       Can I, ah! can I, e'er know repose?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some girls never know what they are going to do from one husband to another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some girls never know what they are going to do from one husband to another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In science, "fact" can only mean "confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent." ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9337]]></link><description><![CDATA[In science, "fact" can only mean "confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent."

It was no "cunningly devised fable" but an historic irruption of God into human history which gave birth to a young church so sturdy that the pagan world could not stifle or destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All earthly delights are sweeter in expectation than in enjoyment; but all spiritual pleasures more in fruition than in expectation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57411]]></link><description><![CDATA[All earthly delights are sweeter in expectation than in enjoyment; but all spiritual pleasures more in fruition than in expectation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And a good south wind sprung up behind, The Albatross did follow,  And every day, for food or play, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1979]]></link><description><![CDATA[And a good south wind sprung up behind, The Albatross did follow,  And every day, for food or play,   Came to the mariner's hollo!    "God save thee, ancient Mariner!     From the fiends that plague thus thee!--      Why look'st thou so?"--"With my cross-bow       I shot the Albatross."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53302]]></link><description><![CDATA[Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conservation means the wise use of the earth and its resources for the lasting good of men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9852]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conservation means the wise use of the earth and its resources for the lasting good of men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Home" is any four walls that enclose the right person. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19630]]></link><description><![CDATA["Home" is any four walls that enclose the right person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every fact of science was once Damned.

Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and "progress," everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man's refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent. As Oscar Wilde truly said, "Disobedience was man's Original Virtue."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The branded industry is losing drugs from patent and the generic industry is circling like buzzards to pick them up. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31166]]></link><description><![CDATA[The branded industry is losing drugs from patent and the generic industry is circling like buzzards to pick them up.
