Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dust is a protective coating for fine furniture. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dust is a protective coating for fine furniture.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age is like flying through a storm.

The foreground of prayer is the intense, immediate desire for a certain blessing which seems to be absolutely necessary for the soul to have; the background of prayer is the quiet, earnest desire that the will of God, whatever it may be, should be done. What a picture is the perfect prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane! In front burns the strong desire to escape death and to live; but behind there stands, calm and strong, the craving of the whole life for the doing of the will of God... Leave out the foreground, let there be no expression of the will of him who prays, and there is left a pure submission which is almost fatalism. Leave out the background, let there be no acceptance of the will of God, and the prayer is only an expression of self-will, a petulant claiming of the uncorrected choice of him who prays. Only when the two are there together, the special desire resting on the universal submission, the universal submission opening into the special desire, is the picture perfect and the prayer complete.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45649]]></link><description><![CDATA[He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I used to believe that anything was better than nothing.

Now I ask for God. Supposing there is a tree full of fruits -- you will have to go and buy or beg the fruits from the owner of the tree. Every day you would have to go for one or two fruits. But if you can make the tree your own property, then all the fruits will be your own. In the same way, if God is your own, then all things in Heaven and on earth will be your own, because He is your Father and is everything to you; otherwise you will have to go and ask like a beggar for certain things. When they are used up, you will have to ask again. So ask not for gifts but for the Giver of Gifts: not for life but for the Giver of Life -- then life and the things needed for life will be added unto you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have the experience and the drive to win it all.
