He does not advise them to find a happy medium between the contending opinions or to average the two extremes in a compromise. On the contrary, he admonished them that "every one be fully convinced in his own mind" (Rom. 14:5), because God is able to make both stand, as both of them are serving the Lord in obedience to their individual convictions of His will... Each of us has to find personally what is the will of God for his own life, and let all others meet their responsibility to do the same... For God, by giving different commands to many, and putting them together according to His plan, shall accomplish ultimately His complete will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65297]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despise pleasure; pleasure bought by pain in injurious. [Lat., Sperne voluptates; nocet empta dolora voluptas.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despise pleasure; pleasure bought by pain in injurious. [Lat., Sperne voluptates; nocet empta dolora voluptas.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the adversity of our best friends we often find something which does not displease us. [Fr., Dans l'adversite de ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/693]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the adversity of our best friends we often find something which does not displease us. [Fr., Dans l'adversite de nos meilleurs amis nous trouvons toujours quelque chose ne nous deplaist pas.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A city is the pulsating product of the human hand and mind, reflecting man's history, his struggle for freedom, creativity, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31346]]></link><description><![CDATA[A city is the pulsating product of the human hand and mind, reflecting man's history, his struggle for freedom, creativity, genius-and his selfishness and errors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59737]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every extreme attitude is a flight from the self. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52301]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every extreme attitude is a flight from the self.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46911]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His patient soul endures what Heav'n ordains, But neither feels nor fears ideal pains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45716]]></link><description><![CDATA[His patient soul endures what Heav'n ordains, But neither feels nor fears ideal pains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou, O God, dost sell us all good things at the price of labor ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou, O God, dost sell us all good things at the price of labor]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age is like flying through a storm.
