Such churches may invite and suffer temporary periods of unpopularity -- by standing up for West Indian immigrants, say, or refusing indiscriminate baptism. But on the whole, the storms are weathered by churches, and ministers, whose interest in the community and presentation of the faith [are] alert and genuine. Even so, the Church has every excuse for getting itself disliked: none at all for escaping notice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We started up the company with a goal of building a real company, unlike so many Internet Bubble startups that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34571]]></link><description><![CDATA[We started up the company with a goal of building a real company, unlike so many Internet Bubble startups that seemed to take the attitude of "let's get mind share, and we'll figure out a way to make money later."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Over the hills and far away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43301]]></link><description><![CDATA[Over the hills and far away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quality of food is in inverse proportion to a dining room's altitude, especially atop bank and hotel buildings (airplanes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52652]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quality of food is in inverse proportion to a dining room's altitude, especially atop bank and hotel buildings (airplanes are an extreme example).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ope the sacred source of sympathetic tears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ope the sacred source of sympathetic tears.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work out your own salvation.
