Only when even the smallest link is securely interlocked is the chain unbreakable. A community which allows unemployed members to exist within it will perish because of them. It will be well, therefore, if every member receives a definite task to perform for the community, that he may know in hours of doubt that he, too, is not useless and unusable. Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of the fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether a person feels positive or not is kind of a comment on their personality and of no great interest. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47742]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether a person feels positive or not is kind of a comment on their personality and of no great interest. You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or something like that. There's no objective way to do it. The important thing is you try to commit yourself to making the positive signs more real. Suppose you felt that there's 99 percent of a probability that human civilization is going to be destroyed in the next hundred years, but one percent chance it won't be, and that one percent offers some opportunities to do something. Well, you commit yourself to that one percent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Krishna was conceived in the womb of Devakimysteriously as the sun settingin the West imparts his raysto the rising moon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17698]]></link><description><![CDATA[Krishna was conceived in the womb of Devakimysteriously as the sun settingin the West imparts his raysto the rising moon in the East.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think he's going to be All-Big Ten.

We can so easily have talks with people, and they can say we have helped, write us grateful letters, even stand steady for a time till the juice we have put into them runs out; but, we may have brought them no hunger for God -- because that hunger is no ache in our own heart -- nor brought them anywhere near to the end of self.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    September 13, 1999  Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  Not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up in life. These are words by which the slanderers of the nature, of the body, the impeachers of our flesh, are completely overthrown... We do not wish to cast aside the body, but corruption: not the flesh, but death. The body is one thing, corruption another; the body is one thing, death another... What is foreign to us is not the body but corruptibility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Charger and the MillerA charger, feeling the infirmities of age, was sent to work in a mill instead of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1571]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Charger and the MillerA charger, feeling the infirmities of age, was sent to work in a mill instead of going out to battle. But when he was compelled to grind instead of serving in the wars, he bewailed his change of fortune and called to mind his former state, saying, Ah! Miller, I had indeed to go campaigning before, but I was barbed from counter to tail, and a man went along to groom me; and now I cannot understand what ailed me to prefer the mill before the battle. Forbear, said the Miller to him, harping on what was of yore, for it is the common lot of mortals to sustain the ups and downs of fortune.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The men of faith might claim for their positions ancient tradition, practical usefulness, and spiritual desirability, but one query could ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7695]]></link><description><![CDATA[The men of faith might claim for their positions ancient tradition, practical usefulness, and spiritual desirability, but one query could prick all such bubbles: Is it scientific? That question has searched religion for contraband goods, stripped it of old superstitions, forced it to change its categories of thought and methods of work, and in general has so cowed and scared religion that many modern-minded believers... instinctively throw up their hands at the mere whisper of it... When a prominent scientist comes out strongly for religion, all the churches thank Heaven and take courage, as though it were the highest possible compliment to God to have Eddington believe in Him. Science has become the arbiter of this generation's thought, until to call even a prophet and a seer 'scientific' is to cap the climax of praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There seems to be a terrible misunderstanding on the part of a great many people to the effect that when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53602]]></link><description><![CDATA[There seems to be a terrible misunderstanding on the part of a great many people to the effect that when you cease to believe you may cease to behave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can one desire too much of a good thing? -As You Like It.
