There are weapons that are simply thoughts, ideas, predjudices, to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, predjudices can kill and suspicion can destroy. A thoughtless, freightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all it's own for the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is, is that these things can not be confined to the Twighlight Zone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where's the snow That fell the year that's fled--where's the snow? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56715]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where's the snow That fell the year that's fled--where's the snow?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too great refinement is false delicacy, and true delicacy is solid refinement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too great refinement is false delicacy, and true delicacy is solid refinement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To live is to love; all reason is against it; instinct is for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25832]]></link><description><![CDATA[To live is to love; all reason is against it; instinct is for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In selling as in medicine, prescription before diagnosis ismalpractice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21186]]></link><description><![CDATA[In selling as in medicine, prescription before diagnosis ismalpractice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anybody can direct a picture once they know the fundamentals.

It is rather to return to Christ not a figure of the imagination, but the Christ of the Scriptures and to listen to His voice in obedience, to discover afresh what is the Truth. All unpretentious Bible study, every effort to disseminate a true scriptural theology, and every earnest prayer is part of the task of promoting that unity which is truly Christian. We must not envisage Christian Unity as consisting of faroff and doubtful schemes, but as something very nigh which affects us all. If we are really to seek for Christian Unity, we must be prepared to pay the cost. For it must be based upon love, and love is always costly. It will never be attained until there is "far more humility, far more thought, far more self-sacrifice, and far more prayer, than there is at present." (Streeter) If we are right in the conclusion that such disunion as has been sinful in the history of the Church has been due to pride, selfassertion, and contempt for God's Word and commandment, then it follows that the way to the unity which God wills [is] through humility, love of the brethren, and obedience to the Divine Revelation. When Christians pray to be shown where they have been wrong, proud, complaisant, or censorious, and to be put right; when they meet for common counsel and study of the Word, in the spirit of obedience and prepared to subject their individual opinions to the guidance of the Spirit; where the strong are willing to foster and strengthen the weak; and where all are seeking the common good rather than their own sectional interests: then the pathway to unity will become plain, and God will grant His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He had no qualms; "for", said he, "when I fail in my duty, I readily acknowledge it, saying, 'I am ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7657]]></link><description><![CDATA[He had no qualms; "for", said he, "when I fail in my duty, I readily acknowledge it, saying, 'I am used to do so; I shall never do otherwise if I am left to myself'.

Education can receive from the Bible a faith concerning man far more realistic than the naive faith by which education has tried to live. Not man as "pure reason": his reason is not pure. Not man as incipient angel: he can turn any structure... to good or to demonic purpose. Not man with his steps on the highroad called evolution: he is relatively free and, therefore, can and does wreck any evolution unless some Grace constantly renews his onward journey. Not man who by his science is sure to fashion a "brave new world"; by science he can destroy the world. Not man as centrally and characteristically a reasonable creature who needs only that his mind shall be educated to build a reasonable world. Not man regarded in any naive faith, but man as potentially divine and potentially unworthy, who stands always in need of help from beyond the confines of the natural order. If education confronts this faith, education will know that the mind's adventure also, like all things human, stands in need of redemption; and it can then proceed with lowliness, and thus with the power and light which are the reward of the lowly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More matter for a May morning. -Twelfth Night.
