This is the cause that the saints at the last day, when they meet their own duties and performances, know them not, they are so changed from what they were when they went out of their hand. "Lord, when saw we Thee naked or hungry?" So God accepts a little, and Christ makes our little a great deal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The friends of the unfortunate live a long way off. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51190]]></link><description><![CDATA[The friends of the unfortunate live a long way off.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's never too late to give someone a a second chance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63004]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's never too late to give someone a a second chance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers - and never succeeding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16268]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers - and never succeeding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It makes all the difference in the world, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41334]]></link><description><![CDATA[It makes all the difference in the world,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are born believing.

The suffering God is no vast cosmic force,  That by some blind, unthinking, loveless power  Keeps stars and atoms swinging in their course,  And reckons naught of men in this grim hour.  Nor is the suffering God a fair ideal  Engendered in the questioning hearts of men,  A figment of the mind to help me steel  My soul to rude realities I ken.  God suffers with a love that cleanses dross;  A God like that, I see upon a cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We envy those whose possessions or achievements are a reflection on our own.
