His master suspended a bell about his neck so that the Dog might give notice of his presence wherever he went. Thinking it a mark of distinction, the Dog grew proud of his bell and went tinkling it all over the marketplace. One day an old hound said to him: Why do you make such an exhibition of yourself? That bell that you carry is not, believe me, any order of merit, but on the contrary a mark of disgrace, a public notice to all men to avoid you as an ill mannered dog. Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who can take advice is sometimes superior to him who can give it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/802]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who can take advice is sometimes superior to him who can give it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reasoning at every step he treads, Man yet mistakes his way, Whilst meaner things, whom instinct leads, Are rarely known ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22833]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reasoning at every step he treads, Man yet mistakes his way, Whilst meaner things, whom instinct leads, Are rarely known to stray.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is of a very melancholy disposition. -Much Ado about Nothing.

"We were buried with Christ through our baptism (and so entered) into a state of death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the splendor of the Father, we too might walk in the newness which belongs to (real) life." To the rite as such Paul did not attach overwhelming importance. "Christ", he says, "did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel."  Paul recognized in the idea a most suggestive figure for the change wrought by faith in Christ. He found it necessary to guard against the crude sacramentalism which found in the mere physical process, as such, the actual impartation of new life, quite apart from anything taking place in the realm of inward experience. The Israelites in the wilderness ... received baptism in the Red Sea and in the cloud which overshadowed them; and yet they were disobedient, "the majority of them God did not choose," and they perished miserably. The inference is plain. No sacramental act achieves anything unless it is an outward symbol of what really happens inwardly in experience. The test of that is the reality of the new life as exhibited in its ethical consequences. "How can we who are dead to sin live any longer in sin?" If baptism is a real dying and rising again, then it is indeed a profound revolution in the personal life, a revolution which is simply bound to show itself in a new moral character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never let a problem to be solved become more important than the person to be loved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48255]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never let a problem to be solved become more important than the person to be loved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pessimism is, in brief, playing the sure game.

Having themselves been emancipated from the superstitions and slavery of a false doctrine and a harsh ecclesiastical government, it would be thought most natural that the Reformers and those who followed them should promptly turn their attention to spreading these glad tidings among non-Christian peoples; but here a strange anomaly is found in the fact that there had been hardly any period, in the entire history of the Christian Church, so destitute of any concerted effort to spread the gospel in heathen lands [as] just this period of the Reformation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be strong and of good courage; fear not or be dismayed; for the Lord, even my God, will be with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15235]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be strong and of good courage; fear not or be dismayed; for the Lord, even my God, will be with thee.
