Faith is not understood when [it is] only demonstrated by life. The more sanctified a life without the verbal witness, the greater the danger of the Christian's goodness getting in the way. Should a person by the grace of God become easier to live with, he doesn't need to call attention to it: it will speak for itself. He can instead seek to balance the reverse effect of the good image by occasionally speaking of the unfavorable realities within, those parts that are still changing. In this way, his external behavior by contrast can point to the power of God, rather than to the effort of man. When we decrease, He can increase, but not until.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["I can't" isn't a reason to give up, it's a reason to try harder ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53083]]></link><description><![CDATA["I can't" isn't a reason to give up, it's a reason to try harder]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That from small fires comes oft no small mishap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54049]]></link><description><![CDATA[That from small fires comes oft no small mishap.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was, perhaps, one of those cases in which advice is good or bad only as the event decides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/797]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was, perhaps, one of those cases in which advice is good or bad only as the event decides.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Snug as a bug in a rug. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Snug as a bug in a rug.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So the heart be right, it is no matter which way the head lieth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15223]]></link><description><![CDATA[So the heart be right, it is no matter which way the head lieth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When friends are at your hearthside met, Sweet courtesy has done its most  If you have made each guest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19852]]></link><description><![CDATA[When friends are at your hearthside met, Sweet courtesy has done its most  If you have made each guest forget   That he himself is not the host.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clearly no group can as an entity create ideas.
