Its glorification of mere chance is a denial of the Divine order of nature. To risk money haphazard is to disregard the insistence of the Church in every age of living faith that possessions are a trust, and that men must account to God for their use. The persistent appeal to covetousness is fundamentally opposed to the unselfishness which was taught by Jesus Christ and by the New Testament as a whole. The attempt (which is inseparable from gambling) to make a profit out of the inevitable loss and possible suffering of others is the antithesis of that love of one's neighbour on which our Lord insisted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I learned in the early part of my career that labor must bear the cross for others' sins, must be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23956]]></link><description><![CDATA[I learned in the early part of my career that labor must bear the cross for others' sins, must be the vicarious sufferer for the wrongs that others do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45034]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remind a man of what he remembers, and you will make him forget it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remind a man of what he remembers, and you will make him forget it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The proper study of mankind is books. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63747]]></link><description><![CDATA[The proper study of mankind is books.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're uninhibited at an early age, a learning curve is so much higher without that.

And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And when the day arrives I'll become the sky and I'll become the sea and the sea will come to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66678]]></link><description><![CDATA[And when the day arrives I'll become the sky and I'll become the sea and the sea will come to kiss me for I am going home.
