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[All success consists in this: You are doing something for somebody - benefiting humanity - and the feeling of success ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55231]]></link><description><![CDATA[All success consists in this: You are doing something for somebody - benefiting humanity - and the feeling of success comes from the consciousness of this. -Elbert Hubbard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we love, we always strive to become better than we are.
