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[Whip me such honest knaves! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23902]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whip me such honest knaves!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Constitution should be short and obscure ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9906]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Constitution should be short and obscure]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the crow had been satisfied to eat his prey in silence, he would have had more meat and less ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54726]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the crow had been satisfied to eat his prey in silence, he would have had more meat and less quarreling and envy. [Lat., Sed tacitus pasci si posset corvus, haberet  Plus dapis, et rixae multo minus invidiaeque.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I told him, 'Son, what is it with you: Is it ignorance or apathy?' He said, 'Coach, I don't know ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57609]]></link><description><![CDATA[I told him, 'Son, what is it with you: Is it ignorance or apathy?' He said, 'Coach, I don't know and I don't care.' (on a former player)]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who's not sat tense before his own heart's curtain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who's not sat tense before his own heart's curtain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worry not that no one knows of you; seek to be worth knowing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Worry not that no one knows of you; seek to be worth knowing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16978]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are they reducing the number of 'Nutcrackers' because people are either canceling subscriptions or not buying single tickets to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32306]]></link><description><![CDATA[Are they reducing the number of 'Nutcrackers' because people are either canceling subscriptions or not buying single tickets to the 'Nutcracker?'

Work and worship literally become one. Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him for ever; and man carries out that function when he does what God sent him into the world to do. Work well done rises like a hymn of praise to God. This means that the doctor on his rounds, the scientist in his laboratory, the teacher in his classroom, the musician at his music, the artist at his canvas, the shop assistant at his counter, the typist at her typewriter, the housewife in her kitchen -- all who are doing the work of the world as it should be done are joining in a great act of worship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One picture in ten thousand, perhaps, ought to live in the applause of mankind, from generation to generation until the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45420]]></link><description><![CDATA[One picture in ten thousand, perhaps, ought to live in the applause of mankind, from generation to generation until the colors fade and blacken out of sight or the canvas rot entirely away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color.

Yet people attempt to evade His statement. Generally speaking, these are the very people who are the quickest in laying the blame upon God for all the sorrow and sin in the world. They argue that He could prevent it. They excuse their own do-nothing attitude by making of evil's apparent predominance a ground for doubt of His loving kindness. It never seems to occur to them to look for the cause in mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not enough to hold that God did great things for our fathers: not enough to pride ourselves on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6905]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not enough to hold that God did great things for our fathers: not enough to pride ourselves on the inheritance of victories of faith: not enough to build the sepulchres of those who were martyred by men unwilling, in their day of trial as we may be in our own, to hear new voices of a living God. Our duty is to see whether God is with us; whether we expect great things from Him; whether we do not practically place Him far off, forgetting that, if He is, He is about us, speaking to us words that have not been heard before, guiding us to paths on which earlier generations have not been able to enter. There is -- most terrible thought! -- a practical atheism, orthodox in language, reverent in bearing, which can enter a Christian church and charm the conscience to rest with shadowy traditions; an atheism which grows incessantly within us if we separate what cannot be separated with impunity, the secular from the divine, the past and the future from the present, earth from heaven, the things of Caesar from the things of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Method is not less requisite in ordinary conversation than in writing, provided a man would talk to make himself understood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10083]]></link><description><![CDATA[Method is not less requisite in ordinary conversation than in writing, provided a man would talk to make himself understood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Initially I wanted to be Muhammad Ali.
