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[Freedom of expression - in particular, freedom of the press - guarantees popular participation in the decisions and actions of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32131]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom of expression - in particular, freedom of the press - guarantees popular participation in the decisions and actions of government, and popular participation is the essence of our democracy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet thanks I must you con That you are thieves professed, that you work not  In holier shapes; for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet thanks I must you con That you are thieves professed, that you work not  In holier shapes; for there is boundless theft   In limited professions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honor and glory are indeed due to God and to Him alone, but He will accept neither of them if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8075]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honor and glory are indeed due to God and to Him alone, but He will accept neither of them if they be not preserved in the honey of love. Love is sufficient of itself; it pleases by itself and on its own account. Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit. It is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love that I may love. Love is a great thing provided it recurs to its beginning, returns to its origin, and draws always from that Fountain which is perpetually in flood. Of all the feelings and affections of the soul, love is the only one by which the creature, though not on equal terms, is able to respond to the Creator and to repay what it has received from Him. For when God loves us He desires nothing but to be loved. He loves for no other reason, indeed, than that He may be loved, knowing that by their love itself those who love Him are blessed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The growing interest is coming from our adult and senior populations, with a need for more family-oriented activities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37544]]></link><description><![CDATA[The growing interest is coming from our adult and senior populations, with a need for more family-oriented activities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true art of government consists in not governing too much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18013]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true art of government consists in not governing too much.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Historians are like deaf people who go on answering questions that no one has asked them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19297]]></link><description><![CDATA[Historians are like deaf people who go on answering questions that no one has asked them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why should we put ourselves out of our way to do anything for posterity; for what has posterity done for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47846]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why should we put ourselves out of our way to do anything for posterity; for what has posterity done for us?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...whenever it is necessary that one of several conflicting opinions should prevail and when one would have to be made ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47389]]></link><description><![CDATA[...whenever it is necessary that one of several conflicting opinions should prevail and when one would have to be made to prevail by force if need be, it is less wasteful to determine which has the stronger support by counting numbers than by fighting.
