And since, falling, he was openly exposed, none may flatter himself that the cause of Christ is bound up with his reputation, that the mischief must needs be averted which his downfall would entail, that Providence must needs avert from him the natural penalties for evil-doing. Though one was as the signet upon the Lord's hand, yet was he plucked thence. There is no security for any soul except where love and trust repose, upon the bosom of Christ. Now if this be true, and if sin and scandal may conceivably penetrate even the inmost circle of the chosen, how great an error it is to break, because of these offenses, the unity of the Church, and institute some new communion, purer far than the Churches of Corinth and Galatia, which were not abandoned but reformed, and more impenetrable to corruption than the little group of those who ate and drank with Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In its famous paradox, the equation of money and excrement, psychoanalysis becomes the first science to state what common sense ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15827]]></link><description><![CDATA[In its famous paradox, the equation of money and excrement, psychoanalysis becomes the first science to state what common sense and the poets have long known -- that the essence of money is in its absolute worthlessness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I shall never permit myself to stoop so low as to hate any man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18820]]></link><description><![CDATA[I shall never permit myself to stoop so low as to hate any man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was actually Peter's idea that I should make the film.
