But the Devil has. The Devil knows that as long as he can control human pride it does not matter how many prayer meetings, how many services, how much devotion goes on -- he can still wrack any group of Christians, sooner or later, and frustrate God's purpose for them, and for the world.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn August 11, 1999 Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890   Never... think we have a due knowledge of ourselves till we have been exposed to various kinds of temptations, and tried on every side. Integrity on one side of our character is no voucher for integrity on another. We cannot tell how we should act if brought under temptations different from those we have hitherto experienced. This thought should keep us humble. We are sinners, but we do not know how great. He alone knows who died for our sins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The path to success is to take massive, determined action. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/478]]></link><description><![CDATA[The path to success is to take massive, determined action.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every board member should have the right to stand up and vote the way they believe in.

But now I may say I heard, but I understood not; for they were far above, out of my reach; for their talk was about a new birth -- the work of God on their hearts. And methought they spake as if Joy did make them speak; they spake with such pleasantness of scripture language and with such appearance of grace in all they said, that they were to me as if they had found a new world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was fascinating for me to drive with Lies through the country roads.
