And since, falling, he was openly exposed, none may flatter himself that the cause of Christ is bound up with his reputation, that the mischief must needs be averted which his downfall would entail, that Providence must needs avert from him the natural penalties for evil-doing. Though one was as the signet upon the Lord's hand, yet was he plucked thence. There is no security for any soul except where love and trust repose, upon the bosom of Christ. Now if this be true, and if sin and scandal may conceivably penetrate even the inmost circle of the chosen, how great an error it is to break, because of these offenses, the unity of the Church, and institute some new communion, purer far than the Churches of Corinth and Galatia, which were not abandoned but reformed, and more impenetrable to corruption than the little group of those who ate and drank with Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In some time, his good time, I shall arrive; He guides me and the bird  In his good time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51917]]></link><description><![CDATA[In some time, his good time, I shall arrive; He guides me and the bird  In his good time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sancta Maria ad Nives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sancta Maria ad Nives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wandered by the brook-side, I wandered by the mill;  I could not hear the brook flow,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4925]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wandered by the brook-side, I wandered by the mill;  I could not hear the brook flow,   The noisy wheel was still.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[... then the world 's mine oyster. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22153]]></link><description><![CDATA[... then the world 's mine oyster.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012  So long as we are full of self, we are shocked ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7801]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012  So long as we are full of self, we are shocked at the faults of others.

It may be useful, too, to lay bare all the feelings, thoughts, and longings which are the result of your depression before some spiritual advisor, in all humility and faithfulness; to seek the society of spiritually minded people, and to frequent such as far as possible while you are suffering. And finally, resign yourself into God's hands, endeavoring to bear this harassing depression patiently.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We suspect the transmission would be very low on airline flights, ... but probably not zero. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32274]]></link><description><![CDATA[We suspect the transmission would be very low on airline flights, ... but probably not zero.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pleasure blinds (so to speak) the eyes of the mind, and has no fellowship with virtue. [Lat., Voluptas mentis (ut ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46697]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pleasure blinds (so to speak) the eyes of the mind, and has no fellowship with virtue. [Lat., Voluptas mentis (ut ita dicam) praestringit oculos, nec habet ullum cum virtute commercium.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I sometimes ask myself how it came about that I was the one to develop the theory of relativity.
