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[Life has a practice of living you, if you don't live it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25417]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life has a practice of living you, if you don't live it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23409]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is through Art and through Art only that we can realize our perfection; through Art and Art only that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3144]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is through Art and through Art only that we can realize our perfection; through Art and Art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The onus is on us to demonstrate (there is enough water) to the Department of Water Resources. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33774]]></link><description><![CDATA[The onus is on us to demonstrate (there is enough water) to the Department of Water Resources.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can make whatever you want out of your life, but first you have to not be afraid to try. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63077]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can make whatever you want out of your life, but first you have to not be afraid to try.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back.
