The history of the organization of Christianity has been in reality the history of successive readjustments of form to altered circumstances. Its power of readjustment has been at once a mark of its divinity and a secret of its strength.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It isn't the oceans which cut us off from the world -- it's the American way of looking at things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23089]]></link><description><![CDATA[It isn't the oceans which cut us off from the world -- it's the American way of looking at things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to discover a deficiency in individuals, in states, and in Providence, than to see their real import ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44200]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to discover a deficiency in individuals, in states, and in Providence, than to see their real import and value.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can tell our values by looking at our checkbook stubs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60344]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can tell our values by looking at our checkbook stubs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gloomy calm of idle vacancy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20339]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gloomy calm of idle vacancy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some tribes [of monkeys] have taken to washing potatoes in the river before eating them, others have not.
