This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren? Since every sin of a member burdens and indicts the whole community, the congregation rejoices, in the midst of all the pain and the burden that the brother's sin inflicts, that it has the privilege of bearing and forgiving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't read lips unless they're touching mine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23853]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't read lips unless they're touching mine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is by nature a civic animal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46937]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is by nature a civic animal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the test of a good religion whether you can make a joke about it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56939]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the test of a good religion whether you can make a joke about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind that does not understand is the Buddha.

This is what distinguishes it most vitally from democracy. In a despotism there is no organized opposition which can take over the power when the Administration in office has failed. All the eggs are in one basket. Everything is staked on one coterie of men. When the going is good, they move more quickly and efficiently than democracies, where the opposition has to be persuaded and conciliated. But when they lose, there are no reserves. There are no substitutes on the bench ready to go out on the field and carry the ball. That is why democracies with the habit of party government have outlived all other forms of government in the modern world. They have, as it were, at least two governments always at hand, and when one fails they have the other. They have diversified the risks of mortality, corruption, and stupidity which pervade all human affairs. They have remembered that the most beautifully impressive machine cannot run for very long unless there is available a complete supply of spare parts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here will be an old abusing of God's patience and the king's English. -The Merry Wives of Windsor.

The common basis of their life was the conviction that they enjoyed a new relationship with God, for which they were indebted to Jesus. The technical term for this relationship was "covenant", and "covenant" became eventually in their vocabulary "testament". Hence the later name for these writings of the church, when gathered into a sacred collection, was "The New Testament" -- New because the older relationship of God to his people, which had obtained under Judaism, with its Old Testament was superseded by the faith and fellowship which Jesus Christ his Son had inaugurated. It was the consciousness of this that inspired the early Christians to live, and to write about the origin and applications of this new life. They wrote for their own age, without a thought of posterity, and they did not write in unison but in harmony.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I desire not to desire, for my will is without value, since I am ignorant in any case.
