Only when even the smallest link is securely interlocked is the chain unbreakable. A community which allows unemployed members to exist within it will perish because of them. It will be well, therefore, if every member receives a definite task to perform for the community, that he may know in hours of doubt that he, too, is not useless and unusable. Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of the fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God prepares great men for great tasks by great trials. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47290]]></link><description><![CDATA[God prepares great men for great tasks by great trials.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't be afraid to take one large step because you can't cross a chasm in two small leaps.

It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion.... Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw doubt, but, when once decided, going through his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known.... He was, indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man ... On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect ... it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great....]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60283</guid></item></channel></rss>
