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[He that hath one foot in the straw, hath another in the spittle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49357]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that hath one foot in the straw, hath another in the spittle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reborn, Sapphowears monks' saffron. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reborn, Sapphowears monks' saffron.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285  If some Christians that have been complaining of their ministers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8452]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285  If some Christians that have been complaining of their ministers had said and acted less before men and had applied themselves with all their might to cry to God for their ministers -- had, as it were, risen and stormed heaven with their humble, fervent, and incessant prayers for them -- they would have been much more in the way of success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Important principles may and must be inflexible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Important principles may and must be inflexible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The key to any good relationship, on-screen and off, is communication, respect, and I guess you have to like the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53395]]></link><description><![CDATA[The key to any good relationship, on-screen and off, is communication, respect, and I guess you have to like the way the other person smells -- and he smelled real nice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O how small a portion of earth will hold us when we are dead, who ambitiously seek after the whole ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18224]]></link><description><![CDATA[O how small a portion of earth will hold us when we are dead, who ambitiously seek after the whole world while we are living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't make a decision right now.
