Mercy is not ordinarily held to consist in pronouncing judgment on another man's deserts, but in relieving his necessities; in giving aid to the poor, not in inquiring how good they are.  .. St. Ambrose    December 8, 1997  There is a manifest want of spiritual influence on the ministry of the present day. I feel it in my own case and I see it in that of others. I am afraid there is too much of a low, managing, contriving, maneuvering temper of mind among us. We are laying ourselves out more than is expedient to meet one man's taste and another man's prejudices. The ministry is a grand and holy affair, and it should find in us a simple habit of spirit and a holy but humble indifference to all consequences. A leading defect in Christian ministers is want of a devotional habit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The essence of knowledge is, having it, to apply it; not having it, to confess your ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1452]]></link><description><![CDATA[The essence of knowledge is, having it, to apply it; not having it, to confess your ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's really good at moving people off the ball. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42144]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's really good at moving people off the ball.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21533]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change thenature of the one who prays. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21366]]></link><description><![CDATA[The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change thenature of the one who prays.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let them learn first to show pity at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let them learn first to show pity at home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I grew up in dirt-poor hillbilly country.
