"I do not envy those who have to fight the battle of Christianity in the twentieth century," wrote Marcus Dods. "Yes, perhaps I do; but it will be a stiff fight." Of course, he did, and anybody with his valiant spirit would. There was a day when our Lord passed through cheering streets wildly enthusiastic; and another day when He watched the crowds deserting Him, till even the disciples themselves seemed to be withering, and He looked at them sadly. "Will you also go away?" He said. And Peter strode across the sudden empty spaces widening around Him, and put his back to Christ's. "No", he cried; "there are two of us, at least", and faced the world, Christ's poor minority of one. I would rather have been Peter than one of the shouting mob. And today, perhaps, we may get our chance of that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Myself acquainted with misfortune, I learn to help the unfortunate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51816]]></link><description><![CDATA[Myself acquainted with misfortune, I learn to help the unfortunate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I look upon all creatures equally; none are less dear to me and none more dear.

To our amazement, it works out. And then we settle down. We have had our own first-hand and irrefutable experience. But, instead of opening the windows to the glory of the sunshine so evidently there, instead of being incited to a hugeness of faith by what Christ has already done for us, we can't believe that there can be anything more, or that even He can work, for us, anything better. That first foretaste satisfies us. And so we camp for life out on the confines of the Kingdom, and never press on to inherit what is there and meant for us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men often make up in wrath what they want in reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62376]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men often make up in wrath what they want in reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have read somewhere or other, in Dionysius of Halicarnassus, I think, that history is philosophy teaching by examples. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19313]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have read somewhere or other, in Dionysius of Halicarnassus, I think, that history is philosophy teaching by examples.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-righteousness is a manifestation of self-contempt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-righteousness is a manifestation of self-contempt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The novel is born of disillusionment; the poem, of despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64328]]></link><description><![CDATA[The novel is born of disillusionment; the poem, of despair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The words ending in Ique do mocke the Physician (as Hectique, Paralitique, Apoplectique, Lethargique). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49939]]></link><description><![CDATA[The words ending in Ique do mocke the Physician (as Hectique, Paralitique, Apoplectique, Lethargique).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm fairly confident that if I died tomorrow, Don would find a way to preserve me until the season was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57564]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm fairly confident that if I died tomorrow, Don would find a way to preserve me until the season was over and he had time for a nice funeral. (on the career dedication of her husband, the Miami Dolphins' coach)]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15044]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes people put up walls, not to keep others out, but to see who cares enough to break them down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64017]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes people put up walls, not to keep others out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concentrated attention is the collection of units of power on a chosen point of intention. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Concentrated attention is the collection of units of power on a chosen point of intention.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3432</guid></item></channel></rss>
