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[To be prepared is half the victory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9894]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be prepared is half the victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Indian knew how to live without wants, to suffer without complaint, and to die singing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43742]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Indian knew how to live without wants, to suffer without complaint, and to die singing]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All are presumed good, till they are found in a fault. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49095]]></link><description><![CDATA[All are presumed good, till they are found in a fault.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My wife and I were happy for 20 years.
