Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Familiarity is a magician that is cruel to beauty but kind to ugliness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15145]]></link><description><![CDATA[Familiarity is a magician that is cruel to beauty but kind to ugliness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It may be said of them [the Hollanders], as of the Spaniards, that the sun never sets upon their Dominions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47764]]></link><description><![CDATA[It may be said of them [the Hollanders], as of the Spaniards, that the sun never sets upon their Dominions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live and Let Live Meat Market. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29956]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live and Let Live Meat Market.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing happens until something moves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing happens until something moves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59217]]></link><description><![CDATA[When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many a bum show has been saved by the flag. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47451]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many a bum show has been saved by the flag.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Baseball and cricket are beautiful and highly stylized medieval war substitutes, chess made flesh, a mixture of proud chivalry and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10635]]></link><description><![CDATA[Baseball and cricket are beautiful and highly stylized medieval war substitutes, chess made flesh, a mixture of proud chivalry and base - in both senses - greed]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He merits no thanks who does a kindness for his own ends ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27378]]></link><description><![CDATA[He merits no thanks who does a kindness for his own ends]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I ought to consider the business which occurs in the daily order of Providence as the work which God appoints ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7537]]></link><description><![CDATA[I ought to consider the business which occurs in the daily order of Providence as the work which God appoints me; and I should apply myself to it in a manner worthy of God, namely, with exactness and with tranquility. I ought not to neglect anything or be passionately vehement about anything, for it is dangerous to do the work of the Lord negligently, on the one hand; or, on the other, to appropriate it to ourselves by self-love and false zeal. In this latter case, our actions arise from a principle of self-will: we are eager and anxious for the success, and that under the pretense of seeking the glory of God. O, God, grant me Thy grace to enable me to be faithful in action and resigned in success! My only business is to do Thy will, and to do it as Thy will, not forgetting Thee in the performance of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even though these technological advances originally sought to control information and bring order to the office, in many instances they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1240]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even though these technological advances originally sought to control information and bring order to the office, in many instances they have done just the opposite.
