As if heaven were a hospital founded on purpose to receive all sick and maimed persons that, when they can live no longer to the lusts of the flesh and the sinful pleasures of this world, can but put up a cold and formal petition to be admitted there. No, no, as sure as God is true, they shall never see the Kingdom of God who, instead of seeking it in the first place, make it their last refuge and retreat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She's a very special young lady who had the courage to step up and testify, ...

We demand, as the apostle demanded, that he must hold fast the faithful word -- at least, so far as that he shall not write deliberate heresy in his examination papers, and shall profess belief in the Creed. We demand, as he demanded, that the candidate must be apt to teach -- at least, so far as an examination of his verbal memory can prove that he knows what he ought to teach. But there is some difference between the "without reproach" of the apostle and our testimonials; and there is a difference between the holding fast of the faith by a man tried in the furnace of life, and the soundness in the faith of a youth fresh from a theological school; and the aptness to teach of a man of experience and social authority is not quite the same thing as the aptness to teach of a young man who has just passed an examination in the subject-matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13974]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To-morrow will give some food for thought. [Lat., Aliquod crastinus dies ad cogitandum dabit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59443]]></link><description><![CDATA[To-morrow will give some food for thought. [Lat., Aliquod crastinus dies ad cogitandum dabit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to laugh.

Conviction in the midst of waverers, fiery energy in a world of disillusion, purity in an age of easy morals, firm brotherhood in a loose society, heroic courage in a time of persecution, formed a problem that could not be set aside, however polite society might affect to ignore it: and the religion of the future turned on the answer to it.
