But the Devil has. The Devil knows that as long as he can control human pride it does not matter how many prayer meetings, how many services, how much devotion goes on -- he can still wrack any group of Christians, sooner or later, and frustrate God's purpose for them, and for the world.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn August 11, 1999 Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890   Never... think we have a due knowledge of ourselves till we have been exposed to various kinds of temptations, and tried on every side. Integrity on one side of our character is no voucher for integrity on another. We cannot tell how we should act if brought under temptations different from those we have hitherto experienced. This thought should keep us humble. We are sinners, but we do not know how great. He alone knows who died for our sins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In solitude, when we are least alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57166]]></link><description><![CDATA[In solitude, when we are least alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cut Men's throats with whisperings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56545]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cut Men's throats with whisperings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60193]]></link><description><![CDATA[The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fish got to swim and birds got to fly I got to love one man till I die,  Can't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4231]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fish got to swim and birds got to fly I got to love one man till I die,  Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spiders are relatively high in protein, but they tickle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spiders are relatively high in protein, but they tickle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feare, the Bedle of the Law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49239]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feare, the Bedle of the Law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God tempers the cold to the shorn sheep. [Fr., Dieu mesure le froid a la brebis tondue.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51924]]></link><description><![CDATA[God tempers the cold to the shorn sheep. [Fr., Dieu mesure le froid a la brebis tondue.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to hold a man is in your arms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1618]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to hold a man is in your arms.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diseases of the eye are to bee cured with the elbow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diseases of the eye are to bee cured with the elbow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wealth, howsoever got, in England makes lords of mechanics, gentlemen of rakes; Antiquity and birth are needless here; 'Tis impudence ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15792]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wealth, howsoever got, in England makes lords of mechanics, gentlemen of rakes; Antiquity and birth are needless here; 'Tis impudence and money makes a peer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're dynamic backs.
