He will only do harm to himself and to the community. Alone you stood before God when He called you; alone you had to answer that call; alone you had to struggle and pray; and alone you will die and give an account to God. You cannot escape yourself; for God has singled you out. If you refuse to be alone, you are rejecting Christ's call to you, and you can have no part in the community of those who are called.... Let him who is not in community beware of being alone. Into the community you were called -- the call was not meant for you alone; in the community of the called you bear your cross, you struggle, you pray. You are not alone even in death, and on the Last Day you will be only one of the great congregation of Jesus Christ. If you scorn the fellowship of the brethren, you reject the call of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Passion and shame torment him, and rage is mingled with his grief. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Passion and shame torment him, and rage is mingled with his grief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adequate information about the existing environment and about the types of place that it is desirable to make cannot be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31814]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adequate information about the existing environment and about the types of place that it is desirable to make cannot be kept inside one brain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Naming & Circumcision of Jesus   For some years now I have read through the Bible ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8439]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Naming & Circumcision of Jesus   For some years now I have read through the Bible twice every year.

For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like? •Jean Cocteau  Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world. •Lily Tomlin  The penalty for success is to be bored by the people who used to snub you. •Nancy Astor  For you to be successful, sacrifices must be made. It's better that they are made by others but failing that, you'll have to make them yourself. •Rita Mae Brown  Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. •Mark Twain  The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half done already. •J.N. Fadenburg   Make a success of living by seeing the goal and aiming for it unswervingly. •Cecil B. Demille  I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. •Abraham Lincoln  The secret of success is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake those, you've got it made. •Groucho Marx  Americans are the only people in the world known to me whose status anxiety prompts them to advertise their college and university affiliations in the rear window of their automobiles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was really tough, not having the routine like we're so used to.
