A writer expresses himself in words that have been used before because they give his meaning better than he can give it himself, or because they are beautiful or witty, or because he expects them to touch a cord of association in his reader, or because he wishes to show that he is learned and well read. Quotations due to the last motive are invariably ill-advised; the discerning reader detects it and is contemptuous; the undiscerning is perhaps impressed, but even then is at the same time repelled, pretentious quotations being the surest road to tedium.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This summit is a huge test for Russia. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34029]]></link><description><![CDATA[This summit is a huge test for Russia.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, Teacher, 397   Another criterion was loyalty to the community of Christ both ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7441]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, Teacher, 397   Another criterion was loyalty to the community of Christ both as gathered congregation and as organized church. The pride of spiritual gifts had led the Corinthians to jealousy and strife. They had divided into factions owning the leadership, one of Paul, one of Apollos, another of Cephas, and another of Christ -- but such factions, the apostle tells them, were not characteristics of the "spiritual", but of the carnal. To divide the Church was to destroy the temple of God, where the Holy Spirit dwelt among them (I Cor. 3:1, 3, 16). And the very gifts about which they quarreled should have been a power to unite them, for they all proceeded from one and the same Spirit, from one and the same Lord, from one and the same God, who worketh all in all. The Spirit was indeed the principle of unity in the Church, "for in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body" (I Cor. 12:13). Therefore, to divide the Church was to drive away the Spirit... The tests of spiritual phenomena in the life of the community, and the proofs that they were of the Holy Spirit, were unity, order, and edification.
