But the Devil has. The Devil knows that as long as he can control human pride it does not matter how many prayer meetings, how many services, how much devotion goes on -- he can still wrack any group of Christians, sooner or later, and frustrate God's purpose for them, and for the world.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn August 11, 1999 Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890   Never... think we have a due knowledge of ourselves till we have been exposed to various kinds of temptations, and tried on every side. Integrity on one side of our character is no voucher for integrity on another. We cannot tell how we should act if brought under temptations different from those we have hitherto experienced. This thought should keep us humble. We are sinners, but we do not know how great. He alone knows who died for our sins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nerve that never relaxes, the eye that never blanches, the thought that never wanders, the purpose that never wavers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46183]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nerve that never relaxes, the eye that never blanches, the thought that never wanders, the purpose that never wavers - these are the masters of victory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One rose says more than the dozen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15845]]></link><description><![CDATA[One rose says more than the dozen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our life on earth is, and ought to be, material and carnal.

You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After the revision last year, I think from the political point of view the commission and the ministers have learned ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37999]]></link><description><![CDATA[After the revision last year, I think from the political point of view the commission and the ministers have learned a lot about the importance of establishing good dialogue channels to avoid these kinds of conflicts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm sure we will also serve dinner as well, so we will close soon after that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40509]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm sure we will also serve dinner as well, so we will close soon after that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today.
