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[Doctors are the same as lawyers; the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you, whereas doctors rob you and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12611]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doctors are the same as lawyers; the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you, whereas doctors rob you and kill you too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Anskar, Archbishop of Hamburg, Missionary to Denmark and Sweden, 865  Only when a man tries to live ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7605]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Anskar, Archbishop of Hamburg, Missionary to Denmark and Sweden, 865  Only when a man tries to live the divine life can the divine Christ manifest Himself to him. Therefore, the true way for you to find Christ is not to go groping in a thousand books. It is not for you to try evidences about a thousand things that people have believed of Him, but it is for you to undertake so great a life, so devoted a life, so pure a life, so serviceable a life, that you cannot do it except by Christ, and then see whether Christ helps you. See then whether there comes to you the certainty that you are a child of God, and the manifestation of the child of God becomes the most credible, the most certain thing to you in all of history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A light supper, a good night's sleep, and a fine morning have often made a hero of the same man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19463]]></link><description><![CDATA[A light supper, a good night's sleep, and a fine morning have often made a hero of the same man who by indigestion, a restless night, and a rainy morning, would have proved a coward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each success only buys an admission ticket to a more difficult problem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56538]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each success only buys an admission ticket to a more difficult problem.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A writer is congenitally unable to tell the truth and that is why we call what he writes fiction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15602]]></link><description><![CDATA[A writer is congenitally unable to tell the truth and that is why we call what he writes fiction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The job of mayor and Governor is becoming more and more like the job of university president, which I used ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40351]]></link><description><![CDATA[The job of mayor and Governor is becoming more and more like the job of university president, which I used to be; it looks like you are in charge, but you are not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was a very inferior farmer when he first begun . . . and he is now fast rising from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1969]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was a very inferior farmer when he first begun . . . and he is now fast rising from affluence to poverty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always do right- this will gratify some and astonish the rest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65731]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always do right- this will gratify some and astonish the rest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being powerful is like being a lady.
