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... An objective observer is hard put to tell the difference (at least in terms of values affirmed) between the church members and those who maintain an 'unchurched' status. 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[I'm really happy that I didn't see Capote until after we wrapped because I probably just would have been daunted ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37935]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm really happy that I didn't see Capote until after we wrapped because I probably just would have been daunted because he was so remarkable in that movie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good bargaine is a pick-purse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49027]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good bargaine is a pick-purse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To err is human; to forgive, divine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16545]]></link><description><![CDATA[To err is human; to forgive, divine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3360]]></link><description><![CDATA[The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Gospels contain what the Apostles preached -- the Epistles, what they wrote after the preaching.

And until we understand the Gospel, the good news about our brother-king -- until we understand Him, until we have His Spirit, promised so freely to them that ask it -- all the Epistles, the words of men who were full of Him, and wrote out of that fullness, who loved Him so utterly that by that very love they were lifted into the air of pure reason and right, and would die for Him, without two thoughts about it, in the very simplicity of no choice -- the Letters, I say, of such men are to us a sealed book. Until we love the Lord so as to do what He tells us, we have no right to an opinion about what one of those men meant; for all they wrote is about things beyond us. The simplest woman who tries not to judge her neighbor, or not to be anxious for the morrow, will better know what is best to know, than the best-read bishop without that one simple outgoing of his highest nature in the effort to do the will of Him who thus spoke.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Luck is a crossroad where preparation and opportunity meet ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48126]]></link><description><![CDATA[Luck is a crossroad where preparation and opportunity meet]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not.
