Jesus says His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can not be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow, in which no work can be done any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Organizational progress parallels that in science and technology, permitting ultimate simplicity through intermediate complexity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56907]]></link><description><![CDATA[Organizational progress parallels that in science and technology, permitting ultimate simplicity through intermediate complexity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each of us is a being in himself and a being in society, each of us needs to understand himself ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each of us is a being in himself and a being in society, each of us needs to understand himself and understand others, take care of others and be taken care of himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want a hero: an uncommon want, When every year and month sends forth a new one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19219]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want a hero: an uncommon want, When every year and month sends forth a new one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There were ten lepers healed, and only one turned back to give thanks, but it is to be noticed that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6893]]></link><description><![CDATA[There were ten lepers healed, and only one turned back to give thanks, but it is to be noticed that our Lord did not recall His gift from the other nine because of their lack of gratitude.

His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57013]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth--that the error and truth are simply opposite.
