Only when even the smallest link is securely interlocked is the chain unbreakable. A community which allows unemployed members to exist within it will perish because of them. It will be well, therefore, if every member receives a definite task to perform for the community, that he may know in hours of doubt that he, too, is not useless and unusable. Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of the fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a learning curve for all these young men.

It is here amongst the people, that the Church must worship and live its life. If it is faithful both to God and to its Gospel, it will be used to hold forth the Word of light to the conversion of those that see and hear. But if its light is hid, then wherewith shall the neighborhood be lighted?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words are tools which automatically carve concepts out of experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59498]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words are tools which automatically carve concepts out of experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without a global revolution in the sphere of human consciousness a morehumane society will not emerge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without a global revolution in the sphere of human consciousness a morehumane society will not emerge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56751]]></link><description><![CDATA[A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But here by the mill the castled clouds Mocked themselves in the dizzy water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8910]]></link><description><![CDATA[But here by the mill the castled clouds Mocked themselves in the dizzy water.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
