What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved...

Usually the most that can be said is that the church members hold the same values as everybody else, but with more emphatic solemnity. Thus, church membership in no way means adherence to a set of values at variance with those of the general society; rather, it means a stronger and more explicitly religious affirmation of the same values held by the community at large.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Invest three percent of your income in yourself (self-development) inorder to guarantee your future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Invest three percent of your income in yourself (self-development) inorder to guarantee your future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me, insanity is super sanity.
