Thus it must be a decisive rule of every Christian fellowship that each individual is prohibited from saying much that occurs to him. This prohibition does not include the personal word of advice and guidance. But to speak about a brother is forbidden, even under the cloak of help and goodwill; for it is precisely in this guise that the spirit of hatred among brothers creeps in when it is seeking to create mischief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you're getting mature the responsibility you have ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33432]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you're getting mature the responsibility you have]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew we'd have to bring our 'A' game.

And since, falling, he was openly exposed, none may flatter himself that the cause of Christ is bound up with his reputation, that the mischief must needs be averted which his downfall would entail, that Providence must needs avert from him the natural penalties for evil-doing. Though one was as the signet upon the Lord's hand, yet was he plucked thence. There is no security for any soul except where love and trust repose, upon the bosom of Christ. Now if this be true, and if sin and scandal may conceivably penetrate even the inmost circle of the chosen, how great an error it is to break, because of these offenses, the unity of the Church, and institute some new communion, purer far than the Churches of Corinth and Galatia, which were not abandoned but reformed, and more impenetrable to corruption than the little group of those who ate and drank with Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even in a time of elephantine vanity and greed, one never has to look far to see the campfires of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even in a time of elephantine vanity and greed, one never has to look far to see the campfires of gentle people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who can love the man he fears. or by who he thinks he is himself feared? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48893]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who can love the man he fears. or by who he thinks he is himself feared?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mural was going through some tough times and the Art Guild actually thought about just letting it go.
