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[He wanted to let them know he was thinking of them and their families throughout this holiday, and the American ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28974]]></link><description><![CDATA[He wanted to let them know he was thinking of them and their families throughout this holiday, and the American people are behind them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more pleasurable than to sit in the shade, sip gin and contemplate other people's adulteries, and while the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/638]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more pleasurable than to sit in the shade, sip gin and contemplate other people's adulteries, and while the wormy apple of marriage still lives, the novel will not die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All maxims have their antagonist maxims; proverbs should be sold in pairs, a single one being but a half truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26600]]></link><description><![CDATA[All maxims have their antagonist maxims; proverbs should be sold in pairs, a single one being but a half truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Statistics are like lampposts: they are good to lean on, but they don't shed much light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57869]]></link><description><![CDATA[Statistics are like lampposts: they are good to lean on, but they don't shed much light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the tragedy of the world that no one knows what he doesn't know - and the less a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59541]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the tragedy of the world that no one knows what he doesn't know - and the less a man knows, the more sure he is that he knows everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll be more specific. ...This year the show will lose $16 million for The WB, and that's with a license ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35284]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll be more specific. ...This year the show will lose $16 million for The WB, and that's with a license fee reduction from last year.

Well it is for the world that He was indeed a God of Battles. Well it is for us that He was to all the rest only a rival and a foe. In the ordinary way, it would have been only too easy for them to have achieved the desolate disaster of conceiving Him as a friend. It would have been only too easy for them to have seen Him stretching out His hands in love and reconciliation, embracing Baal and kissing the painted face of Astarte... It would have been easy enough for His worshipers to follow the enlightened course of Syncretism and the pooling of all the pagan traditions. It is obvious indeed that His followers were always sliding down this easy slope; and it required the almost demoniac energy of certain inspired demagogues, who testified to the divine unity in words that are still like winds of inspiration and ruin, [to stop them]. The more we really understand of the ancient conditions that contributed to the final culture of the Faith, the more we shall have a real and even a realistic reverence for the greatness of the Prophets of Israel. As it was, while the whole world melted into this mass of confused mythology, this Deity who is called tribal and narrow, precisely because He was what is called tribal and narrow, preserved the primary religion of all mankind. He was tribal enough to be universal. He was as narrow as the universe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few great men could pass personal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15928]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few great men could pass personal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Retribution often means that we eventually do to ourselves what we have done unto others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60472]]></link><description><![CDATA[Retribution often means that we eventually do to ourselves what we have done unto others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Finite to fail, but infinite to venture. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4484]]></link><description><![CDATA[Finite to fail, but infinite to venture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty is only skin deep.
