Now there is something in our natural selves that may well make us wary of such a contact. The man who in his heart intends to go on being selfish or proud, or who has already decided how far his Christian convictions should carry him, is probably obeying a sound instinct when he keeps away from this glorious but perilous Sacrament. For, if the truth be told, men are often willing to put their trust in a god who in the end must be triumphant, simply because they want to be on the winning side; but they are not nearly so ready to bear any part of the cost of that winning. Yet the fellowship of the broken bread and the poured-out wine can mean no less than that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no need to show your ability before everyone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no need to show your ability before everyone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make happy those who are near, and those who are far will come. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62820]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make happy those who are near, and those who are far will come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you.

The man of vision and imagination finds it difficult to see the value of those who do no more than plod on faithfully along a well-tried road. The man whose concern is in personal dealing with people and leading them to understand God better finds it difficult to be patient with the theologian or the Christian philosopher whose work is in the quiet of a book-lined study. Yet the truth is that the wholeness which God is working to achieve is never complete in an individual, but through individuals living together as one body, each supplying the deficiencies of the others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A person's a person, no matter how small. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65971]]></link><description><![CDATA[A person's a person, no matter how small.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even memory is not necessary for love.
