Surely that is not wholly true. It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that stumbles and falles not, mends his pace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49480]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that stumbles and falles not, mends his pace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Wolf and the SheepA wolf, sorely wounded and bitten by dogs, lay sick and maimed in his lair.

Being in want of food, he called to a Sheep who was passing, and asked him to fetch some water from a stream flowing close beside him. For, he said, if you will bring me drink, I will find means to provide myself with meat. Yes, said the Sheep, if I should bring you the draught, you would doubtless make me provide the meat also. Hypocritical speeches are easily seen through.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm still the little southern girl from the wrong side of the tracks who really didn't feel like she belonged. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25499]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm still the little southern girl from the wrong side of the tracks who really didn't feel like she belonged.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's clearly a very special, gifted player. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36112]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's clearly a very special, gifted player.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made.

It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs. Self-conceit often regards it as a sign of weakness to admit that a belief to which we have once committed ourselves is wrong. We get so identified with an idea that it is literally a "pet" notion and we rise to its defense and stop our eyes and ears to anything different.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We try not to have ideas, preferring accidents.

He is oppressed by a sense of impotence in the grasp of merciless forces which he can neither overcome nor escape. These forces may be Frankenstein monsters of man's own creation, or they may be horrors outside his conscious control; either way, he is intimidated by the vastness of those fateful currents which threaten to sweep him on to destruction, whether he will or no. And to modern man in his frustration and despair, the full-orbed gospel of Christ, as Paul presents it to the Colossians, is the one message of hope. Christ crucified and risen is Lord of all; all the forces in the universe, well-disposed and ill-disposed, are subject to Him. To be united to Christ by faith is to throw off the thraldom of hostile powers, to enjoy perfect freedom, to gain the mastery over the dominion of evil -- because Christ's victory is ours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone can believe that Jesus was a god: what is so hard to credit is that He who hung upon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone can believe that Jesus was a god: what is so hard to credit is that He who hung upon the cross was the God. That is what you are asked as Christians to believe. And it is the sword, glittering but fearful. It must cut your life away from the standards of this world, away from its thought and its measures, no less than its aims and hopes. Hard and bitter is the separation, and you will be parted from many great and noble men, some perhaps your own teachers, who can accept about Jesus everything but the one thing needful. The Christian faith, if accepted, drives a wedge between its own adherents and the disciples of every other philosophy or religion, however lofty or soaring. And they will not see this; they will tell you that really your views and theirs are the same thing, and only differ in words, which, if only you were a little more highly trained, you would understand. Even among Christ's nominal servants there are many who think a little good-will is all that is needed to bridge the gulf -- a little amiability and mutual explanation, a more careful use of phrases, would soon accommodate Christianity to fashionable modes of speaking and thinking, and destroy all causes of provocation. So they would. But they would destroy also its one inalienable attraction: that of being... a wonder, and a beauty, and a terror -- no dull and drab system of thought, no mere symbolic idealism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64500]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates.
