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/8615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which God gives to every person who has the use of reason. This knowledge is good ... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." ... Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity... St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the punishment fit the crime ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52539]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the punishment fit the crime]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14140]]></link><description><![CDATA[The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But what will not ambition and revenge Descend to? who aspires must down as low  As high he soar'd, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2335]]></link><description><![CDATA[But what will not ambition and revenge Descend to? who aspires must down as low  As high he soar'd, obnoxious first and last   To basest things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a nation loses its storytellers, it loses its childhood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64368]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a nation loses its storytellers, it loses its childhood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've already started to look into safety at the port.
