By Love alone He is great and glorious. By Love alone He liveth and feeleth in other persons. By Love alone He enjoyeth all the creatures, by Love alone He is pleasing to Himself, by Love alone He is rich and blessed. The Soul is shrivelled up and buried in a grave that does not love. But that which does love wisely and truly is the joy and end of all the world, the King of Heaven, and the Friend of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must adopt loathsome diseases for our familiar associates, or we shall never be thoroughly acquainted with their nature and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38357]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must adopt loathsome diseases for our familiar associates, or we shall never be thoroughly acquainted with their nature and dispositions; we must risk, nay even injure, our own health in order to be able to preserve or restore that of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is always one's virtues and not one's vices that precipitate one into disaster. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63501]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is always one's virtues and not one's vices that precipitate one into disaster.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Practically everybody in New York has half a mind to write a book -and does ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Practically everybody in New York has half a mind to write a book -and does]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On me, on me Time and change can heap no more!  The painful past with blighting grief   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18333]]></link><description><![CDATA[On me, on me Time and change can heap no more!  The painful past with blighting grief   Hath left my heart a withered leaf.    Time and change can do no more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seven principles for eradicating selfish ambition in the fellowship: 6. the ministry of proclaiming   Where Christians live together ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8610]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seven principles for eradicating selfish ambition in the fellowship: 6. the ministry of proclaiming   Where Christians live together the time must ultimately come when in some crisis one person will have to declare God's Word and will to another. It is inconceivable that the things that are of utmost importance to each individual should not be spoken by one to another. It is unchristian consciously to deprive another of the one decisive service we can render to him...   The more we learn to allow others to speak the Word to us, to accept humbly and gratefully even severe reproaches and admonitions, the more free and objective will we be in speaking ourselves. The humble person will stick to truth and love. He will stick to the Word of God and let it lead him to his brother...   Reproof is unavoidable. God's Word demands it when a brother falls into open sin. Where defection from God's Word in doctrine or life imperils the fellowship... the word of admonition and rebuke must be ventured. Nothing can be more cruel than the tenderness that consigns another to his sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe rebuke that calls a brother back from the path of sin. It is a ministry of mercy, an ultimate offer of genuine fellowship, when we allow nothing but God's Word to stand between us, judging and succoring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poverty is the schoolmaster of character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poverty is the schoolmaster of character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Written laws are like spiders' webs, and will, like them, only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29165]]></link><description><![CDATA[Written laws are like spiders' webs, and will, like them, only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the rich and powerful will easily break through them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is life distilled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is life distilled.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The living man who does not learn, is dark, dark, like one walking in the night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20420]]></link><description><![CDATA[The living man who does not learn, is dark, dark, like one walking in the night.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mother had to send me to the movies with my birth certificate, so that I wouldn't have to pay ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39421]]></link><description><![CDATA[My mother had to send me to the movies with my birth certificate, so that I wouldn't have to pay the extra fifty cents that the adults had to pay.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All charming people, I fancy, are spoiled.
