O Conqueror renowned! O Source of peace ineffable,   In whom all joys are found:  When once you visit darkened hearts   Then truth begins to shine, Then earthly vanity departs,   Then kindles love divine. O Jesus, light of all below,   The fount of life and fire,  Surpassing all the joys we know,   All that we can desire: May ev'ry heart confess your name,   Forever you adore, And, seeking you, itself inflame   To seek you more and more! Oh, may our tongues forever bless,   May we love you alone  And ever in our lives express   The image of your own!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success means doing the best we can with what we have.

If they follow Jesus, men escape from the hard yoke of their own laws, and submit to the kindly yoke of Jesus Christ. But does this mean that we can ignore the seriousness of His command? Far from it! We can only achieve perfect liberty and enjoy fellowship with Jesus when His command, His call to absolute discipleship, is appreciated in its entirety. Only the man who follows the command of Jesus without reserve, and submits unresistingly to His yoke, finds his burden easy, and under its gentle pressure receives the power to persevere in the right way. The command of Jesus is hard -- unutterably hard -- for those who try to resist it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't deserve this award, but I have arthritis, and I don't deserve that, either. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44278]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't deserve this award, but I have arthritis, and I don't deserve that, either.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64864]]></link><description><![CDATA[The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am climbing a difficult road; but the glory gives me strength. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17559]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am climbing a difficult road; but the glory gives me strength.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These then are my last words to you.

Secular education seems to me intellectually clean and comprehensible. Moral instruction seems to me unclean, intolerable; I would destroy it with fire. Teaching the Old Testament by itself means teaching ancient Hebrew ethics, which are simple, barbaric rudimentary, and, to a Christian, unsatisfying. Teaching moral instruction means teaching modern London, Birmingham and Boston ethics, which are not barbaric and rudimentary, but are corrupt, hysterical and crawling with worms, and which are to a Christian, not unsatisfying but detestable. The old Jew who says that you must fight only for your tribe is inadequate; but the modern prig who says you must never fight for anything is substantially and specifically immoral. I know quite well, of course, that the unreligious ethics suggested for modern schools do not verbally assert these things; they only talk about peaceful reform, true Christianity, and the importance of Count Tolstoy. It is all a matter of tone and implication--but then, so is all teaching. Education is implication. It is not the things you say which children respect; when you say things, they very commonly laugh and do the opposite. It is the things you assume that really sink into them. It is the things you forget even to teach that they learn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a great difference between knowing and understanding: you can know a lot about something and not really understand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60054]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a great difference between knowing and understanding: you can know a lot about something and not really understand it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But what is worship?

What ought to result from it? What is the point and peak and heart and centre of it? Is it the offering we bring to God of praise and adoration, of thanksgiving and sacrifice, our praise, our sacrifice to Him? That has its place, not legitimate only, but imperative. And yet to put that in the foreground is to make the service fundamentally man-centered and subjective, which, face to face with God, is surely almost unthinkably unseemly. Or is the ideal we should hold before us that other extreme, so ardently pressed on us these days, that, face to face with the Lord God Almighty, High and Holy, it is for us to forget ourselves and -- leaving behind our petty little human joys and needs and sins and risings above thanksgiving and petition and confession -- to lose ourselves in an awed adoration of God's naked and essential being, blessing and praising Him, not even for what he has done for us, and been for us, but for what, in Himself, He is. To me, that seems not an advance, but a pathetic throw-back to the primitive of Brahmanism. We shall not learn to know God better, nor how to worship Him more worthily, by careful rubbing out from memory every wonder of Christ's revelation of Him.
