Faith is not understood when [it is] only demonstrated by life. The more sanctified a life without the verbal witness, the greater the danger of the Christian's goodness getting in the way. Should a person by the grace of God become easier to live with, he doesn't need to call attention to it: it will speak for itself. He can instead seek to balance the reverse effect of the good image by occasionally speaking of the unfavorable realities within, those parts that are still changing. In this way, his external behavior by contrast can point to the power of God, rather than to the effort of man. When we decrease, He can increase, but not until.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek first to understand and then to be understood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek first to understand and then to be understood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one ever died from sleeping in an unmade bed.
