The invisible church, composed of all Spirit-baptized persons, is indefectible, it cannot be ruined; against it "the gates of Hades shall not prevail." The local assembly may indeed by sadly ruined; but it can be restored, as, by the grace of God, has been seen times without number -- at Corinth, for example. The only other institution in question is that agglomeration of sects that is called "Christendom." But that is unrecognized by the New Testament -- it is not of God at all: and that it is "in ruins" is no matter for our regret.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stern is the visage of necessity. [Ger., Ernst ist der Anblick der Nothwendigkeit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44059]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stern is the visage of necessity. [Ger., Ernst ist der Anblick der Nothwendigkeit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love friends for their sake rather than for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16901]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love friends for their sake rather than for our own. •Charlotte Bronte   A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked. •Bernard Meltzer   True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation. •George Washington   Friends are born, not made. •Henry Adams   Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes. •Anonymous   Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies. •Aristotle   A friend loveth at all times. •Bible, Proverbs 17:17   Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship-never. •Charles Caleb Colton   A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature. •Ralph Waldo Emerson  It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them •Ralph Waldo Emerson   The only way to have a friend is to be one. •Ralph Waldo Emerson   Real friendship is shown in times of trouble; prosperity is full of friends. •Euripides   It is in the thirties that we want friends.
