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[A compliment is like a kiss through a veil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2219]]></link><description><![CDATA[A compliment is like a kiss through a veil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ascension Feast of John and Charles Wesley, Priests, Poets, Teachers, 1791 & 1788   I met the society and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7022]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ascension Feast of John and Charles Wesley, Priests, Poets, Teachers, 1791 & 1788   I met the society and explained to them ... the original design of the Methodists, namely, not to be a distinct party, but to stir up all parties, ... to worship God in spirit and in truth; but the Church of England in particular, to which they belonged from the beginning.
