Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sisters are always drying their hair.

Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.This is known as "bad luck.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hard writing makes easy reading.

For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we did but know how little some enjoy of the great things that they possess, there would not be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14042]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we did but know how little some enjoy of the great things that they possess, there would not be much envy in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strike--for your altars and your fires; Strike--for the green graves of your sires.  God--and your native land! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45781]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strike--for your altars and your fires; Strike--for the green graves of your sires.  God--and your native land!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45781</guid></item></channel></rss>
