Jesus says that 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/8089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weak withering age no rigid law forbids. With frugal nectar, smooth and slow with balm,  The sapless habit daily ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Weak withering age no rigid law forbids. With frugal nectar, smooth and slow with balm,  The sapless habit daily to bedew,   And give the hesitating wheels of life    Gliblier to play.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're losing a lot of talent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42382]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're losing a lot of talent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23306]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is requisite for the relaxation of the mind that we make use, from time to time, of playful deeds and jokes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None save great men have been the authors of great heresies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57101]]></link><description><![CDATA[None save great men have been the authors of great heresies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discomfort guides my tongue And bids me speak of nothing but despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12017]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discomfort guides my tongue And bids me speak of nothing but despair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we wanted to create for the film was a sensual feeling using the traditional Japanese kimono as our key ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32083]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we wanted to create for the film was a sensual feeling using the traditional Japanese kimono as our key starting point.
