The first three gifts of the Spirit which God had set in the Church were apostles, prophets, and teachers, in addition to which the whole Church had a gift of government (I Cor. 12:4, 28). The decisions of the first council of the Church were first of all decrees of the Spirit (Acts 15:28). Paul had preached and created churches by the power of the Spirit (I Cor. 2:4; 1 Thess. 1:5,6; Gal. 3:2). In one Spirit were all believers baptized into one body (I Cor. 12:13: cf. Phil. 1:27). The Spirit therefore dwells in the Church as the principle of its entire united and common life (Eph. 2:18, 22; cf. I Cor. 3:16).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought control, like birth control, is best undertaken as long as possible before the fact.

Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One guy isn't going to make that big of a difference.

The old man told him that he worshipped the fire only, and acknowledged no other God. At which answer Abraham grew so zealously angry, that he threw the old man out of his tent, and exposed him to all the evils of the night and an unguarded condition. When the old man was gone, God called to Abraham, and asked him where the stranger was. He replied, "I thrust him away, because he did not worship thee." God answered him, "I have suffered him these hundred years, though he dishonoured me; and wouldst thou not endure him one night?".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tact: the ability to describe others as they see themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tact: the ability to describe others as they see themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right now the only thing that will beat us is ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37345]]></link><description><![CDATA[Right now the only thing that will beat us is ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your time ain't come not even a doctor can kill you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23706]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your time ain't come not even a doctor can kill you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Investors may want a premium on bonds, which may push the cost of borrowing up.
