Read again the story of His Passion: Jesus is seen throughout as calm, quiet, and confident. His last word is, "Father, into Thy hands I commit my spirit". Someone may say, "Yes, but He knew that He was going to rise from the dead." But have we not the same promise for ourselves? [Continued tomorrow].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knavery's now its own reward. [Lat., His nunc praemium est qui recta prava faciunt.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23903]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knavery's now its own reward. [Lat., His nunc praemium est qui recta prava faciunt.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[During the four years I have coached Caitlin, I have seen no players with even close to her speed.

The surest symbol of spiritual earnestness will be the checkbook, the affections, and the ego-drive surrendered to Him. A disciple must have discipline. He must not be afraid of being asked by God for some of the time, the money, and the pleasure he has been in the habit of calling his "own". This does not mean that there will not be time for the family, and time for some healthy diversion. But it does mean that we are never -- on vacation, or wherever we may be -- exempt from our primary commitment to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's a good joke but we do it much better in England. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23236]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's a good joke but we do it much better in England.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What greater or better gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct our youth? [Lat., Quod enim ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13398]]></link><description><![CDATA[What greater or better gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct our youth? [Lat., Quod enim munus reiplicae afferre majus, meliusve possumus, quam si docemus atque erudimus juventutem?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Performing is the most important single action in my life.

The substitute is usually embraced with vehemence and extremism, for we have to convince ourselves that what we took as second choice is the best there ever was. Thus blind faith is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves; insatiable desire a substitute for hope; accumulation a substitute for growth; fervent hustling a substitute for purposeful action; and pride a substitute for an unattainable self-respect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Advertisements are of great use to the vulgar.

For that life is won only from death and the good only from the evil is a piece of thoroughly worldly knowledge which is not strange to the Christian. But all this has nothing to do with the temptation of which Christ speaks. It simply does not touch the reality which is meant here. The temptation of which the whole Bible speaks does not have to do with the testing of my strength, for it is of the very essence of temptation in the Bible that all my strength -- to my horror, and without my being able to do anything about it -- is turned against me; really all my powers, including my good and pious powers (the strength of my faith), fall into the hands of the enemy power and are now led into the field against me. Before there can be any testing of my powers, I have been robbed of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An average first half and we pull it out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36366]]></link><description><![CDATA[An average first half and we pull it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12233</guid></item></channel></rss>
