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[And she hath smiles to earth unknown-- Smiles that with motion of their own  Do spread, and sink, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56694]]></link><description><![CDATA[And she hath smiles to earth unknown-- Smiles that with motion of their own  Do spread, and sink, and rise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prestige is the shadow of money and power.

Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Matching that level of success is going to be very difficult, but the kids are working hard and hopefully, that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30560]]></link><description><![CDATA[Matching that level of success is going to be very difficult, but the kids are working hard and hopefully, that pays off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ox and the FrogAn ox drinking at a pool trod on a brood of young frogs and crushed one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1581]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Ox and the FrogAn ox drinking at a pool trod on a brood of young frogs and crushed one of them to death. The Mother coming up, and missing one of her sons, inquired of his brothers what had become of him. He is dead, dear Mother; for just now a very huge beast with four great feet came to the pool and crushed him to death with his cloven heel. The Frog, puffing herself out, inquired, if the beast was as big as that in size. Cease, Mother, to puff yourself out, said her son, and do not be angry; for you would, I assure you, sooner burst than successfully imitate the hugeness of that monster.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63636]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the patriotic duty of every man to lie for his country. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45833]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the patriotic duty of every man to lie for his country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the last few months, we've given several promotions within the department... and I think that's brought more stability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29277]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the last few months, we've given several promotions within the department... and I think that's brought more stability.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humiliating to human pride as it may be, we must recognize that the advance and even the preservation of civilization ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humiliating to human pride as it may be, we must recognize that the advance and even the preservation of civilization are dependent upon a maximum of opportunity for accidents to happen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's a man, But when you see a king, you see the work  Of many thousand men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54464]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's a man, But when you see a king, you see the work  Of many thousand men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After the show in Virginia, they laid all the food out and it covered the entire floor.
