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[An injury graves itself in metal, but a benefit writes itself in water. [Fr., L'injure se grave en metal; et ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11666]]></link><description><![CDATA[An injury graves itself in metal, but a benefit writes itself in water. [Fr., L'injure se grave en metal; et le bienfait s'escrit en l'onde.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortune to one is Mother, to another is Step-mother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49255]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortune to one is Mother, to another is Step-mother.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I assumed there would be an influx of women on the podium, but there are not many more at my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41632]]></link><description><![CDATA[I assumed there would be an influx of women on the podium, but there are not many more at my level than there were 20 years ago.
