At the very least, they can add a note of reality to what the minister offers. In many cases, the group takes up where the individual counseling left off, supplementing it or even eliminating it entirely. I have been repeatedly thankful that a group was available to give steady guidance who had made a fresh start in Christian living, but who still had a long way to go; this has been especially true in cases of loneliness, moderate emotional instability, inability to understand others, and need of continued guidance in the use of prayer and the Bible and the accepting and giving of love. In the nature of the case, no amount of individual counseling can fully deal with these needs. The "priesthood of all believers" becomes a recognized fact, with each person helping to open up for his neighbor the way to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chess is the most elaborate waste of human intelligence outside of an advertising agency. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chess is the most elaborate waste of human intelligence outside of an advertising agency.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26285]]></link><description><![CDATA[Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My situation is a solemn one.

Let Jones worship the sun or moon -- anything rather than the Inner Light; let Jones worship cats or crocodiles, if he can find any in his street, but not the god within. Christianity came into the world firstly in order to assert with violence that a man had not only to look inwards, but to look outwards, to behold with astonishment and enthusiasm a divine company and a divine captain. The only fun of being a Christian was that a man was not left alone with the Inner Light, but definitely recognized an outer light, fair as the sun, clear as the moon, terrible as an army with banners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no greater sign of a general decay of virtue in a nation, than a want of zeal in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62617]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no greater sign of a general decay of virtue in a nation, than a want of zeal in its inhabitants for the good of their country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perfection irritates as well as it attracts, in fiction as in life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41074]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perfection irritates as well as it attracts, in fiction as in life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marrying an old bachelor is like buying second-hand furniture. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3657]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marrying an old bachelor is like buying second-hand furniture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try to relax and enjoy the crisis. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10700]]></link><description><![CDATA[Try to relax and enjoy the crisis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64500]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The press is the best instrument for enlightening the mind of man, and improving him as a rational, moral and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48161]]></link><description><![CDATA[The press is the best instrument for enlightening the mind of man, and improving him as a rational, moral and social being]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first duty of a revolutionary is to get away with it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27635]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first duty of a revolutionary is to get away with it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust your instinct to the end, though you can render no reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust your instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The imagination imitates.
