Genuine spiritual authority is to be found only where the ministry of hearing, helping, bearing, and proclaiming is carried out. Every cult of personality that emphasizes the distinguished qualities, virtues, and talents of another person, even though these be of an altogether spiritual nature, is worldly and has no place in the Christian community; indeed, it poisons the Christian community...   Genuine authority realizes that it can exist only in the service of Him who alone has authority... The Church does not need brilliant personalities but faithful servants of Jesus and the brethren...   Pastoral authority can be attained only by the servant of Jesus who seeks no power of his own, who himself is a brother among brothers to the authority of the Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4181]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The concentration and dedication- the intangibles are the deciding factors between who won and who lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11653]]></link><description><![CDATA[The concentration and dedication- the intangibles are the deciding factors between who won and who lost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We fail far more often by timidity than by over-daring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59369]]></link><description><![CDATA[We fail far more often by timidity than by over-daring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People get a little fed up and see their portfolio down significantly, and I always laugh to myself, because I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15680]]></link><description><![CDATA[People get a little fed up and see their portfolio down significantly, and I always laugh to myself, because I still got paid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate him to death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29966]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hate him to death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Night was our friend, our leader was Despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Night was our friend, our leader was Despair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65630]]></link><description><![CDATA[Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man that hath a tongue, I say, is no man, If with his tongue he cannot win a woman. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55335]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man that hath a tongue, I say, is no man, If with his tongue he cannot win a woman. -The Two Gentleman of Verona.

God has no more wrath in Himself now than He had before the creation, when He had only Himself to love... And it was solely to quench this wrath, awakened in the human soul, that the blood of the Son of God was necessary; because nothing but a life and birth, derived from Him into the human soul, could change this darkened root of a self-tormenting fire into an amiable image of the Holy Trinity as it was at first created.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These paintings originally were painted for people who just wanted to relax and escape the realities of their world, like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41235]]></link><description><![CDATA[These paintings originally were painted for people who just wanted to relax and escape the realities of their world, like pollution and overpopulation.
