The Gospel is full of divine attempts to help and heal, in the body, mind and heart, individual men. The completed beauty of Christ's life is only the added beauty of little inconspicuous acts of beauty -- talking with the woman at the well; going far up into the North country to talk with the Syrophenician woman; showing the young ruler the stealthy ambition laid away in his heart, that kept him out of the kingdom of Heaven; shedding a tear at the grave of Lazarus; teaching a little knot of followers how to pray; preaching the Gospel one Sunday afternoon to two disciples going out to Emmaus; kindling a fire and broiling fish, that His disciples might have a breakfast waiting for them when they came ashore after a night of fishing, cold, tired, discouraged. All of these things, you see, let us in so easily into the real quality and tone of God's interests, so specific, so narrowed down, so enlisted in what is small, so engrossed in what is minute.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To change and to change for the better are two different things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22139]]></link><description><![CDATA[To change and to change for the better are two different things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[List--'twas the cuckoo--O, with what delight Heard I that voice! and catch it now, though faint,  Far off and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10817]]></link><description><![CDATA[List--'twas the cuckoo--O, with what delight Heard I that voice! and catch it now, though faint,  Far off and faint, and melting into air,   Yet not to be mistaken.

We do not get the soul in different ways, under different laws, from those in which we get the body and the mind. If a man does not exercise his arm, he develops no biceps muscles and if a man does not exercise his soul, he acquires no muscle in his soul, no strength of character, no vigour of moral fibre, nor beauty of spiritual growth. Love is not a thing of enthusiastic emotion. It is a rich, strong, manly, vigorous expression of the whole round Christian character -- the Christ-like nature in its fullest development. And the constituents of this great character are only to be built up by ceaseless practice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soft pity enters an iron gate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soft pity enters an iron gate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as ugly people are not on TV, you should only ever have interesting people on TV. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41407]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as ugly people are not on TV, you should only ever have interesting people on TV.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is suffering so very serious?

I have come to doubt it. It may be quite childish, a sort of undignified pastime -- I'm referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. It's extremely painful. I agree that it's hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain deserves no consideration at all.

Redemption is inconceivable without truth and holiness. But the mere fact that the Holy Spirit's first recorded action in the gospels is an expression of redeeming love should cause us to suspect a teaching which represents His work as primarily, if not solely, the sanctification of our own souls to the practical exclusion of His activity in us towards others. It is important to teach of Him as the Spirit of holiness; it is also important to teach of Him as the Spirit which in us labours for the salvation of men everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From childhood's hour I have not beenAs others were; I have not seenAs others saw; I could not bringMy passions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26902]]></link><description><![CDATA[From childhood's hour I have not beenAs others were; I have not seenAs others saw; I could not bringMy passions from a common spring.From the same source I have not takenMy sorrow; I could not awakenMy heart to joy at the same tone;And all I loved, I loved alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17487]]></link><description><![CDATA[A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is not always at ease who laughs. [Fr., Ce n'est pas etre bien aise que de rire.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24173]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is not always at ease who laughs. [Fr., Ce n'est pas etre bien aise que de rire.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5745]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dignity of history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19314]]></link><description><![CDATA[The dignity of history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A truth spoken before its time is dangerous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11060]]></link><description><![CDATA[A truth spoken before its time is dangerous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She is our core player.
