Surely that is not wholly true. It certainly must help us if we recognize that it is the presence of the Holy Spirit which creates a unity which we can never create.If men believe in the existence of this unity, they may begin to desire it, and desiring it to seek for it, and seeking it to find it. If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where the katydid works her chromatic reed on the walnut-tree over the well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23685]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where the katydid works her chromatic reed on the walnut-tree over the well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great truth is a truth whose opposite is also a truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66269]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great truth is a truth whose opposite is also a truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have... the Gospel written upon vellum; it deserveth to be set with diamonds, except that the heart of man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8434]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have... the Gospel written upon vellum; it deserveth to be set with diamonds, except that the heart of man were a fitter repository for it.  ... The Colloquies of Erasmus  February 13, 1999  Faith is the source of energy in the struggle of life, but life still remains a battle which is continually renewed upon ever-new fronts. For every threatening abyss that is closed, another yawning gulf appears. The truth is -- and this is the conclusion of the whole matter -- the Kingdom of God is within us. But we must let our light shine before men in confident and untiring labor that they may see our good works and praise our Father in Heaven. The final ends of all humanity are hidden within His hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She racked her brain for words scathing enough to convey her opinion of their actions.
