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[To freemen, threats are impotent. [Lat., Nulla enim minantis auctoritas apud liberos est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16672]]></link><description><![CDATA[To freemen, threats are impotent. [Lat., Nulla enim minantis auctoritas apud liberos est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cats need it; we don't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40865]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cats need it; we don't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who asks whether the enemy were defeated by strategy or valor? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who asks whether the enemy were defeated by strategy or valor?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't know there was anything being built until today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39308]]></link><description><![CDATA[We didn't know there was anything being built until today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13691]]></link><description><![CDATA[Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing strictly immortal, but immortality.

I ought not to neglect anything or be passionately vehement about anything, for it is dangerous to do the work of the Lord negligently, on the one hand; or, on the other, to appropriate it to ourselves by self-love and false zeal. In this latter case, our actions arise from a principle of self-will: we are eager and anxious for the success, and that under the pretense of seeking the glory of God. O, God, grant me Thy grace to enable me to be faithful in action and resigned in success! My only business is to do Thy will, and to do it as Thy will, not forgetting Thee in the performance of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7537</guid></item></channel></rss>
