But if Christ is amongst us, then it is necessary that we sometimes yield up our own opinion for the sake of peace. Who is so wise as to have a perfect knowledge of all things? Therefore trust not too much to thine own opinion, but be ready also to hear the opinion of others. Though thine own opinion be good, yet if for the love of God thou foregoest it, and followest that of another, thou shalt the more profit thereby.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can sincerity be a condition of friendship?

The Hare, believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue. Slow but steady wins the race.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285   The word "sinner" often proves a great obstacle to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6288]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285   The word "sinner" often proves a great obstacle to understanding, but let us use other words. Let us say that man is the kind of creature who naturally sees the world from a very limited perspective, that he tends to be self-centered and to prefer the interests that are closest to himself and to his own social group. Let us say that man is naturally unwilling to accept his limited or finite status, that he is always seeking to extend his control over others, that he seeks to maintain his own security by means of power over all who may threaten it, that he likes to be in a position to compare himself with others to their disadvantage, that he seeks to be self-sufficient and to deny in effect his dependence upon God and to set up his own group or system or ideal in the place of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A civilization in which there is not a continuous controversy about important issues is on the way to totalitarianism and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10068]]></link><description><![CDATA[A civilization in which there is not a continuous controversy about important issues is on the way to totalitarianism and death]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must come to the point where we realize the concept of race is a false one.
