Thus it must be a decisive rule of every Christian fellowship that each individual is prohibited from saying much that occurs to him. This prohibition does not include the personal word of advice and guidance. But to speak about a brother is forbidden, even under the cloak of help and goodwill; for it is precisely in this guise that the spirit of hatred among brothers creeps in when it is seeking to create mischief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Civilized man has always had a great inclination to read his conceptions and feelings into the mind of primitive man; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56827]]></link><description><![CDATA[Civilized man has always had a great inclination to read his conceptions and feelings into the mind of primitive man; but he has only a limited capacity for understanding the latter's undeveloped mental life and for interpreting, as it were, his nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those things please more, which are more expensive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50523]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those things please more, which are more expensive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd be proud to say it in a chat room, to the Wall Street Journal , on the cover of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31392]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd be proud to say it in a chat room, to the Wall Street Journal , on the cover of your magazine, that hey, these are abusive users, and we have to do something about it.

"Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of cheap grace, which is another word for damnation. If the second half stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of salvation through works, which is also another word for damnation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8604</guid></item></channel></rss>
