Social religion is perfected when private religion is purified. The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier. The whole church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to seek a better and a higher life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can be created out of nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44656]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can be created out of nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5678]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the things that is particularly painful within the context of this poor family is that the engineers actually ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38198]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the things that is particularly painful within the context of this poor family is that the engineers actually had to witness this, knowing that when you get into a locomotive, there is no steering wheel.

It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down.   ... George Whitefield, letter   [Thanks to Bill Blake at pilgrimwb@aol.com]  September 7, 2000 Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.   ...
