What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved... Another way of putting this is to say that the churches operate with secular values while the secular institutions are permeated with religious terminology...

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[One of the true tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5100]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the true tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prosperity discovers vice, adversity discovers virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1361]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prosperity discovers vice, adversity discovers virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis good-will makes intelligence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22880]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis good-will makes intelligence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man has a right to do what he pleases, except when he pleases to do right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54279]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man has a right to do what he pleases, except when he pleases to do right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woe to those who spit on the beat generation, the wind will blow it back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13879]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woe to those who spit on the beat generation, the wind will blow it back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a kind of alacrity in sinking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51425]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have a kind of alacrity in sinking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O lovely lily clean, O lily springing green,  O lily bursting white,   Dear lily of delight,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25087]]></link><description><![CDATA[O lovely lily clean, O lily springing green,  O lily bursting white,   Dear lily of delight,    Spring in my heart agen     That I may flower to men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I have made an appointment with you, I owe you punctuality, I have no right to throw away your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3989]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I have made an appointment with you, I owe you punctuality, I have no right to throw away your time, if I do my own]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alas! how easily things go wrong! A sigh too deep, or a kiss too long,  And then comes a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62458]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alas! how easily things go wrong! A sigh too deep, or a kiss too long,  And then comes a mist and a weeping rain,   And life is never the same again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are none of us infallible -- not even the youngest of us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15063]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are none of us infallible -- not even the youngest of us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wouldn't.
