Just in the same way, dogmas and creeds cannot bring Christian unity, because human minds are not so uniformly created that they can unite in a single dogma or creed. Even our understanding of Christ Himself cannot be the basis of unity, because He is too big to be understood by any one person or group, and therefore our limited understandings do not always coincide. One emphasizes this point about Christ, another that; and this again becomes the cause of divisions. If we will only take our fellowship with Christ as the center of Christian faith, all Christians will realize their oneness... All our fellowship, however varied, is with the same Lord, and the same Saviour is our one Head.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I conceive that pleasures are to be avoided if greater pains be theconsequence, and pains to be coveted that will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22678]]></link><description><![CDATA[I conceive that pleasures are to be avoided if greater pains be theconsequence, and pains to be coveted that will terminate in greaterpleasures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give a man health and a course to steer, and he'll never stop to trouble about whether he's happy or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18929]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give a man health and a course to steer, and he'll never stop to trouble about whether he's happy or not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We thought it was going to happen, we've been dreaming it for 32 years, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38514]]></link><description><![CDATA[We thought it was going to happen, we've been dreaming it for 32 years,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not addicted to nicotine, so why do I have to participate in your drug addiction? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27690]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not addicted to nicotine, so why do I have to participate in your drug addiction?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a back-and-forth, close game all the way.

It is cantankerous, and it is independent. The idea of independence is the key. It really is like colonialism. The colonies suddenly decide that they can and should exist with their own personality and should detach from the control of the mother country. At first the colony is perceived as being treacherous. It's a betrayal. Ultimately, it can be seen as the separation of a partner that could be very valuable as an equal rather than as something you dominate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have patience and endure; this unhappiness will one day be beneficial. [Lat., Perfer et obdura; dolor hic tibi proderit olim.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45728]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have patience and endure; this unhappiness will one day be beneficial. [Lat., Perfer et obdura; dolor hic tibi proderit olim.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When in reading we meet with any maxim that may be of use, we should take it for our own, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26594]]></link><description><![CDATA[When in reading we meet with any maxim that may be of use, we should take it for our own, and make an immediate application of it, as we would of the advice of a friend whom we have purposely consulted]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money will come to you when you are doing the right thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money will come to you when you are doing the right thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want a big career, a big man, and a big life.

That God should be in a state of constant fury with the wicked seemed to them only right and proper, but that God should be kind towards those who were defying or disobeying His laws seemed to them a monstrous injustice. Yet I was but quoting the Son of God Himself, and I only comment here that the terrifying risks that God takes are part of His Nature.
