It would assuredly make a difference if Christians, in their approach one to another, realized that, in spite of appearances, they were in fact one. If, in their seeking after external reunion, they realized that they were seeking not to create a unity which does not yet exist, but to find an expression for a unity which does exist, which is indeed the one elemental reality, they would approach one another in a better frame of mind. The common recognition of the principle would in itself be a unifying force of great value, and would dispose those who shared it to approach questions of difference in a spirit of unity which would immensely assist their deliberations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do have aircraft in that area making drops, but with the coming of nightfall, we'll have to ground those ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32334]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do have aircraft in that area making drops, but with the coming of nightfall, we'll have to ground those shortly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fate chooses our relatives, we choose our friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fate chooses our relatives, we choose our friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As blushing will sometimes make a whore pass for a virtuous woman, so modesty may make a fool seem a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27141]]></link><description><![CDATA[As blushing will sometimes make a whore pass for a virtuous woman, so modesty may make a fool seem a man of sense.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself. -Galileo. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13581]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself. -Galileo.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Morality is a private and costly luxury ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26075]]></link><description><![CDATA[Morality is a private and costly luxury]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is difficult to say who do you the most harm: enemies with the worst intentions or friends with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22946]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is difficult to say who do you the most harm: enemies with the worst intentions or friends with the best.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we cannot do what we will, we must will what we can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61610]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we cannot do what we will, we must will what we can.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O nation miserable, With an untitled tyrant bloody-sceptred,  When shalt thou see thy wholesome days again,   Since ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59973]]></link><description><![CDATA[O nation miserable, With an untitled tyrant bloody-sceptred,  When shalt thou see thy wholesome days again,   Since that the truest issue of thy throne    By his own interdiction stands accursed     And does blaspheme his breed?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15895]]></link><description><![CDATA[When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15895</guid></item></channel></rss>
