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[That man scorches with his brightness, who overpowers inferior capacities, yet he shall be revered when dead. [Lat., Urit enim ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18261]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man scorches with his brightness, who overpowers inferior capacities, yet he shall be revered when dead. [Lat., Urit enim fulgore suo qui praegravat artes  Intra se positas; extinctus amabitur idem.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is great ability in knowing how to conceal one's ability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is great ability in knowing how to conceal one's ability.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Josephine Butler, Social Reformer, 1906 Commemoration of Joan of Arc, Visionary, 1431 Commemoration of Apolo Kivebulaya, Priest, Evangelist, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Josephine Butler, Social Reformer, 1906 Commemoration of Joan of Arc, Visionary, 1431 Commemoration of Apolo Kivebulaya, Priest, Evangelist, 1933   I would have the whole of my experience one continued sense -- first, of my nothingness, and dependence on God; second, of my guiltiness and desert before Him; third, of my obligations to redeeming love, as utterly overwhelming me with its incomprehensible extent and grandeur.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remind a man of what he remembers, and you will make him forget it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remind a man of what he remembers, and you will make him forget it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[San Diego customers will pay 10 percent of the cost of this project, and yet 100 percent of the benefits ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37895]]></link><description><![CDATA[San Diego customers will pay 10 percent of the cost of this project, and yet 100 percent of the benefits of this project will stay in San Diego.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't like to beat people down.
