All pious persons should study to fortify themselves with these counsels, lest, while they consider themselves as valiant and strenuous defenders of righteousness, they depart from the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the only Kingdom of righteousness. For since it is the will of God that the communion of his church should be maintained in this external society, those who, from an aversion of wicked men, destroy the token of that society, enter on a course in which they are in great danger of falling from the communion of the saints.   .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was keen to return home and, although we rate him highly here, we did not like to see him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35078]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was keen to return home and, although we rate him highly here, we did not like to see him unhappy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Necessity is the last and strongest weapon. [Lat., Necessitas ultimum et maximum telum est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44050]]></link><description><![CDATA[Necessity is the last and strongest weapon. [Lat., Necessitas ultimum et maximum telum est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just hope it wasn't a one-off and that we're going to tail off again after this.

Does he think that in that way he will have straightway persuaded us to have complete confidence in him, to look to him for consolation, for advice, and for help, in the vicissitudes of life? Do such men think that they have delighted us by telling us that they hold our souls to be nothing but a little wind and smoke -- and by saying it in conceited and complacent tones?

The more knowledge, the more obligation. The maintaining of revealed doctrine becomes blasphemy if it is not borne out by the corresponding testimony of the life. He who is always appealing to the Word of God without his life and conduct corresponding to this knowledge of God, dishonours God's name, making Him an object of mockery and hatred. It is just those who know so well how to talk about God who make His name hateful among men, because their lives darken the picture of God and turn it into a caricature. The Lord is judged by the life of His servants; this is the truer, the more zealously they appeal to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[About 150 families were killed, and hundreds of families were deported from there, and they destroyed the village, they destroyed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29839]]></link><description><![CDATA[About 150 families were killed, and hundreds of families were deported from there, and they destroyed the village, they destroyed the orchards,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41084]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can always tell when a man is well informed.
