I doubt if the average Englishman felt himself as much oppressed by Charles I as by the plague; or if any colonial American was as much in dread of taxation without representation as of smallpox. And it may reasonably be contended that Walter Reed and William Crawford Gorgas brought to man freedom in a more happy sense and in a larger measure than any military or political leader.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every evil in the bud is easily crushed; as it grows older, it becomes stronger. [Lat., Omne malum nascens facile ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14303]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every evil in the bud is easily crushed; as it grows older, it becomes stronger. [Lat., Omne malum nascens facile opprimitur; inveteratum fit pleurumque robustius.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Darker than darkest pansies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Darker than darkest pansies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadershipdetermines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadershipdetermines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God does not treat us as our sins deserve, man treats us as our sins deserve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44323]]></link><description><![CDATA[God does not treat us as our sins deserve, man treats us as our sins deserve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, Teacher, 397   Another criterion was loyalty to the community of Christ both ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7441]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, Teacher, 397   Another criterion was loyalty to the community of Christ both as gathered congregation and as organized church. The pride of spiritual gifts had led the Corinthians to jealousy and strife. They had divided into factions owning the leadership, one of Paul, one of Apollos, another of Cephas, and another of Christ -- but such factions, the apostle tells them, were not characteristics of the "spiritual", but of the carnal. To divide the Church was to destroy the temple of God, where the Holy Spirit dwelt among them (I Cor. 3:1, 3, 16). And the very gifts about which they quarreled should have been a power to unite them, for they all proceeded from one and the same Spirit, from one and the same Lord, from one and the same God, who worketh all in all. The Spirit was indeed the principle of unity in the Church, "for in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body" (I Cor. 12:13). Therefore, to divide the Church was to drive away the Spirit... The tests of spiritual phenomena in the life of the community, and the proofs that they were of the Holy Spirit, were unity, order, and edification.
