The problem is doubtless complicated, for there are many honest differences held with equal sincerity, but it is only made insoluble because the different denominations are (possibly unconsciously) imagining God to be Roman or Anglican or Baptist or Methodist or Presbyterian or what have you. If they could see beyond their little inadequate god, and glimpse the reality of God, they might even laugh a little and perhaps weep a little. The result would be a unity that actually does transcend differences, instead of ignoring them with public politeness and private contempt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm going to be a vice president very much like George Bush was.

Theday being intensely hot, and the sun shining in its strength, theTraveler stopped to rest, and sought shelter from the heat underthe Shadow of the Ass. As this afforded only protection for one,and as the Traveler and the owner of the Ass both claimed it, aviolent dispute arose between them as to which of them had theright to the Shadow. The owner maintained that he had let theAss only, and not his Shadow. The Traveler asserted that he had,with the hire of the Ass, hired his Shadow also. The quarrelproceeded from words to blows, and while the men fought, the Assgalloped off. In quarreling about the shadow we often lose the substance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that makes his bed ill, lies there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49377]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that makes his bed ill, lies there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65422]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we found was that age was a significant predictor in Bt corn adoption.
