They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshippers meeting together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become 'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship. Social religion is perfected when private religion is purified. The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier. The whole church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to seek a better and a higher life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to be a writer-stop talking about it and sit down and write!. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22194]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to be a writer-stop talking about it and sit down and write!.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He without fear is king of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44206]]></link><description><![CDATA[He without fear is king of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fearless are merely fearless.

Suppose three unexcused absences required that the individual's name be automatically dropped from the roll, and he could be reinstated only by special vote of the body. Suppose absences from services had to be made up by attending services in some other place, or by carrying out some special project. Suppose church members had to be re-elected to membership each year, and that their attendance and participation in the program of activities determined how the vote went. Oh, well -- just suppose.   ... from The Baptist Messenger  September 16, 2002 Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 Commemoration of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Priest, tractarian, 1882   This seems a cheerful world, Donatus, when I view it from this fair garden, under the shadow of these vines. But if I climbed some great mountain and looked out over the wide lands, you know very well what I would see--brigands on the high roads, pirates on the seas; in the amphitheaters men murdered to please applauding crowds; under all roofs misery and selfishness. It is really a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. Yet in the midst of it I have found a quiet and holy people. They have discovered a joy which is a thousand times better than any pleasures of this sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are the Christians -- and I am one of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52288]]></link><description><![CDATA[The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't fight a battle if you don't gain anything by winning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61700]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't fight a battle if you don't gain anything by winning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thurber did not write the way a surgeon operates, he wrote the way a child skips rope, the way a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3244]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thurber did not write the way a surgeon operates, he wrote the way a child skips rope, the way a mouse waltzes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without duty, life is soft and boneless; it cannot hold itself together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without duty, life is soft and boneless; it cannot hold itself together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They can expect nothing but their labor for their pains.   - Cervantes (Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra), ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23925]]></link><description><![CDATA[They can expect nothing but their labor for their pains.   - Cervantes (Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For discords make the sweetest airs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43441]]></link><description><![CDATA[For discords make the sweetest airs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older - the natural sequence ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54352]]></link><description><![CDATA[She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older - the natural sequence of an unnatural beginning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherever I look, I see signs of the commandment to honor one's parents and nowhere of a commandment that calls ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62793]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wherever I look, I see signs of the commandment to honor one's parents and nowhere of a commandment that calls for the respect of a child.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64964]]></link><description><![CDATA[He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being wise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to talk about pride, I'm so proud that Fredericksburg could bring this quality of entertainment to town. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35431]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to talk about pride, I'm so proud that Fredericksburg could bring this quality of entertainment to town.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a curious thing that people only ask if you are enjoying yourself when you aren't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13930]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a curious thing that people only ask if you are enjoying yourself when you aren't.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The critical thing is that no two situations are alike.
