Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A happier lot were mine, If I must lose thee, to go down to earth,  For I shall have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57250]]></link><description><![CDATA[A happier lot were mine, If I must lose thee, to go down to earth,  For I shall have no hope when thou art gone,--   Nothing but sorrow.

To have ideas, apercus, is not enough, and it is the overevalutation of such clever but uncontrolled guesses which is apt to produce the ludicrous fallacy of combination, in which fragments of the final theory are collected from widely scattered sources and are combined in such a way as to impugn the originality of him who was the first to see how such a synthesis was possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best current evidence is that media are mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1317]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best current evidence is that media are mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any more than the truck that delivers groceries causes change in our nutrition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes two to speak the truth - one to speak and another to hear. -Thoreau. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25213]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes two to speak the truth - one to speak and another to hear. -Thoreau.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All in the wild March-morning I heard the angels call; It was when the moon was setting, and the dark ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26375]]></link><description><![CDATA[All in the wild March-morning I heard the angels call; It was when the moon was setting, and the dark was over all;  The trees began to whisper, and the wind began to roll,   And in the wild March-morning I heard them call my soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History, as it lies at the root of all science, is also the first distinct product of man's spiritual nature; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19320]]></link><description><![CDATA[History, as it lies at the root of all science, is also the first distinct product of man's spiritual nature; his earliest expression of what can be called Thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I behold what pleasure is Pursuit, What life, what glorious eagerness it is,  Then mark how full Possession ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47750]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I behold what pleasure is Pursuit, What life, what glorious eagerness it is,  Then mark how full Possession falls from this,   How fairer seems the blossom than the fruit,--    I am perplext, and often stricken mute.     Wondering which attained the higher bliss,      The wing'd insect, or the chrysalis       It thrust aside with unreluctant foot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Audiences cry in the theater when people make a hard choice-for life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3473]]></link><description><![CDATA[Audiences cry in the theater when people make a hard choice-for life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When matters are desperate we must put on a desperate face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1316]]></link><description><![CDATA[When matters are desperate we must put on a desperate face.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ultimate camping trip was the Lewis and Clark expedition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5195]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ultimate camping trip was the Lewis and Clark expedition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pessimist is a man who has been compelled to live with an optimist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65942]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pessimist is a man who has been compelled to live with an optimist.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Please, sir, is this Plumfield?" asked a ragged boy of the man who opened the great gate at which the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4632]]></link><description><![CDATA["Please, sir, is this Plumfield?" asked a ragged boy of the man who opened the great gate at which the omnibus left him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're aware of it.
