And if they can but get to be of a Sect which they think the holiest (as the Anabaptists and the Separatists), or which is the largest (as the Greeks and the Romans), they think then that they are sufficiently warranted to deny others to be God's Church, or at least to deny them Christian love and communion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even when we have physical hardships, we can be very happy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65247]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even when we have physical hardships, we can be very happy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking, only to learn that it is God who is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17655]]></link><description><![CDATA[We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking, only to learn that it is God who is shaking them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And we must take the current when it serves; Or lose our ventures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51292]]></link><description><![CDATA[And we must take the current when it serves; Or lose our ventures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad.

The Bible characterizes men in such a state as "lost", and as being "without hope in the world"... And let no one suppose that such a term as "lost" is merely a bit of conventional theological jargon. It stands for a terrible reality, a reality which modern man in his modern predicament knows only too well from his own bitter experience. It gives rise to the voices of despair which haunt our radios, our newspapers, our fiction and poetry, our stage and screen, our doctors' offices, our hospital wards, our grisly nightmare of atomic war, and the conversation of common people who no sooner meet than they begin to bemoan the fate that has overtaken the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A schoolmaster should have an atmosphere of awe, and walk wonderingly, as if he was amazed at being himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25292]]></link><description><![CDATA[A schoolmaster should have an atmosphere of awe, and walk wonderingly, as if he was amazed at being himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had a great time on the floor, though we had a few bobbles.
