Thus it must be a decisive rule of every Christian fellowship that each individual is prohibited from saying much that occurs to him.

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[A knife wound heals; a wound caused by words does not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62051]]></link><description><![CDATA[A knife wound heals; a wound caused by words does not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63532]]></link><description><![CDATA[Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Telephone, n.
