His master suspended a bell about his neck so that the Dog might give notice of his presence wherever he went. Thinking it a mark of distinction, the Dog grew proud of his bell and went tinkling it all over the marketplace. One day an old hound said to him: Why do you make such an exhibition of yourself? That bell that you carry is not, believe me, any order of merit, but on the contrary a mark of disgrace, a public notice to all men to avoid you as an ill mannered dog. Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The strength of women is the pretense of weakness, and the weakness of men is the pretense of strength ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61328]]></link><description><![CDATA[The strength of women is the pretense of weakness, and the weakness of men is the pretense of strength]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380   O abyss, O eternal Godhead, O sea profound, what more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6380]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380   O abyss, O eternal Godhead, O sea profound, what more could you give me than yourself?

The unity we seek is deeper than anything that the world offers. Communism, Fascism, National Socialism, and even Shintoism have proved their ability to bind men together in a common enterprise with great devotion and selfsacrifice; but these are secular ideals, intermixed with selfinterest, the love of master, and the use of force. Christian Unity can only be "in Christ". It is based on the New Birth and New Life in Christ, and upon the oneness of all the members in the Christ who is the Head. Therefore, "the quest for the unity of the Church must in fact be identical with the quest for Jesus Christ as the concrete Head and Lord of the Church." (Barth) What kind of unity, then, do we ask? It must be God's kind, that for which Christ prayed, and which, therefore, must be in the line of God's purpose. Will He not then take the initiative? It is for us to wait upon Him, and to go through the gates which He opens, to cast up the highway, to gather out the stones of stumbling, to lift up the standard, and to prepare the way of the Lord. (Isa. 62:10).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will be little drudgery in this better ordered world. Natural power harnessed in machines will be the general drudge. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62159]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will be little drudgery in this better ordered world. Natural power harnessed in machines will be the general drudge. What drudgery is inevitable will be done as a service and duty for a few years or months out of each life; it will not consume nor degrade the whole life of anyone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: And not as Moses, which put a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57333]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:  But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65854]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His native home deep imag'd in his soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19629]]></link><description><![CDATA[His native home deep imag'd in his soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imitation is the sincerest form of television. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imitation is the sincerest form of television.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14507</guid></item></channel></rss>
