Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is richest who is content with the least. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28153]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is richest who is content with the least.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47751]]></link><description><![CDATA[As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We did what was best for the horse, not what other people thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36313]]></link><description><![CDATA[We did what was best for the horse, not what other people thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one lies so boldly as the man who is indignant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63616]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one lies so boldly as the man who is indignant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2908]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you don't play for a month here, it's tough to keep (fans) in the groove. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30747]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you don't play for a month here, it's tough to keep (fans) in the groove.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pleasant illusion is better than a harsh reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20474]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pleasant illusion is better than a harsh reality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have not passed that subtle line between childhood and adulthood until we move from the passive voice to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27144]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have not passed that subtle line between childhood and adulthood until we move from the passive voice to the active voice -- that is, until we have stopped saying "It got lost," and say, "I lost it.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live ye, he says, I flee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58307]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live ye, he says, I flee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have worked with Joey at Test level - it would be terrific to work with him again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31629]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have worked with Joey at Test level - it would be terrific to work with him again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6145]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fall with awareness and acceptance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62522]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fall with awareness and acceptance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My soul is dark!
