But the Devil has. The Devil knows that as long as he can control human pride it does not matter how many prayer meetings, how many services, how much devotion goes on -- he can still wrack any group of Christians, sooner or later, and frustrate God's purpose for them, and for the world.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn August 11, 1999 Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890   Never... think we have a due knowledge of ourselves till we have been exposed to various kinds of temptations, and tried on every side. Integrity on one side of our character is no voucher for integrity on another. We cannot tell how we should act if brought under temptations different from those we have hitherto experienced. This thought should keep us humble. We are sinners, but we do not know how great. He alone knows who died for our sins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In America only the successful writer is important, in France all writers are important, in England no writer is important, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4645]]></link><description><![CDATA[In America only the successful writer is important, in France all writers are important, in England no writer is important, and in Australia you have to explain what a writer is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's great that he's with us for the semi-final after missing the last two matches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41647]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's great that he's with us for the semi-final after missing the last two matches.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gold's father is dirt, yet it regards itself as noble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gold's father is dirt, yet it regards itself as noble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know who set the schedule but it is negative for good results. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31808]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know who set the schedule but it is negative for good results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The oil is good in some ways. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38893]]></link><description><![CDATA[The oil is good in some ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature attains perfection, but man never does.

The man whose prayer is so pure that he never asks God for anything does not know who God is, and does not know who he is himself: for he does not know his own need of God. All true prayer somehow confesses our absolute dependence on the Lord of life and death. It is, therefore, a deep and vital contact with Him whom we know not only as Lord but as Father. It is when we pray truly that we really are. Our being is brought to a high perfection by this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action.If there's no action, you haven't truly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21407]]></link><description><![CDATA[A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action.If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64625]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are you green and growing or ripe and rotting?. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Are you green and growing or ripe and rotting?.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I moved here I had a two bedroom, simple, 900 square feet, and rent was eight to nine hundred. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39901]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I moved here I had a two bedroom, simple, 900 square feet, and rent was eight to nine hundred.
