He will easily be content and pacified, whose conscience is pure. You are not holier if you are praised, nor the more worthless if you are found fault with. What you are, that you are; neither by word can you be made greater than what you are in the sight of God.  Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ  [With thanks to Roger E. Doriot]    February 12, 1997  Ash Wednesday  Were Christians duly instructed how many lesser differences in mind and judgment and practice are really consistent with the nature, ends, and genuine fruit of the unity that Christ requires among them, it would undoubtedly prevail with them so as to manage themselves in their differences by mutual forbearance and condescension in their love, as not to contract the guilt of being disturbers or breakers of it. To speak plainly, among all the churches in the world which are free from idolatry and persecution, it is not different opinions, nor a difference in judgment about revealed truths, nor a different practice in sacred administrations, but pride, self-interest, love of honour, reputation, and dominion, with the influence of civil or political intrigues and considerations, that are the true cause of that defect of evangelical unity that is at this day amongst them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9977]]></link><description><![CDATA[Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What dazzles, for the moment spends its spirit; What's genuine, shall posterity inherit.  [Ger., Was glanzt ist fur den ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47840]]></link><description><![CDATA[What dazzles, for the moment spends its spirit; What's genuine, shall posterity inherit.  [Ger., Was glanzt ist fur den Augenblick geboren;   Das Aechte bleibt der Nachwelt unverloren.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sweetest of all sounds is that of the voice of the woman we love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64205]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sweetest of all sounds is that of the voice of the woman we love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Night is a stealthy, evil Raven, Wrapt to the eyes in his black wings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Night is a stealthy, evil Raven, Wrapt to the eyes in his black wings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This restless world Is full of chances, which by habit's power  To learn to bear is easier than to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62189]]></link><description><![CDATA[This restless world Is full of chances, which by habit's power  To learn to bear is easier than to shun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had a terrible education.
