The unity we seek is deeper than anything that the world offers. Communism, Fascism, National Socialism, and even Shintoism have proved their ability to bind men together in a common enterprise with great devotion and selfsacrifice; but these are secular ideals, intermixed with selfinterest, the love of master, and the use of force. Christian Unity can only be "in Christ". It is based on the New Birth and New Life in Christ, and upon the oneness of all the members in the Christ who is the Head. Therefore, "the quest for the unity of the Church must in fact be identical with the quest for Jesus Christ as the concrete Head and Lord of the Church." (Barth) What kind of unity, then, do we ask? It must be God's kind, that for which Christ prayed, and which, therefore, must be in the line of God's purpose. Will He not then take the initiative? It is for us to wait upon Him, and to go through the gates which He opens, to cast up the highway, to gather out the stones of stumbling, to lift up the standard, and to prepare the way of the Lord. (Isa. 62:10).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best love story is when you fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62963]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best love story is when you fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anytime they can point to something concrete, something that's happening, it helps them refute all the allegations, all the daily ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37211]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anytime they can point to something concrete, something that's happening, it helps them refute all the allegations, all the daily news that comes in on the ongoing violence and the more-structural problems,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy means government by the uneducated, while aristocracy means government by the badly educated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3097]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy means government by the uneducated, while aristocracy means government by the badly educated.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better not to be at all Than not to be noble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better not to be at all Than not to be noble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52746]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can atone for the lack of modesty; without which beauty is ungraceful and wit detestable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42924]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can atone for the lack of modesty; without which beauty is ungraceful and wit detestable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wit consists in seeing the resemblance between things which differ, and the difference between things which are alike ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61805]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wit consists in seeing the resemblance between things which differ, and the difference between things which are alike]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you hear something you like, and you're halfway like the public, chances are they'll like it too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31465]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you hear something you like, and you're halfway like the public, chances are they'll like it too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes two for a kiss Only one for a sigh,  Twain by twain we marry   One ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9115]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes two for a kiss Only one for a sigh,  Twain by twain we marry   One by one we die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rulers do not reduce taxes to be kind.
