Of course, such a way is hard and costly, but it is also joyous and rewarding even in the here-and-now. People who follow that Way know beyond all possible argument that they are in harmony with the purpose of God, that Christ is with them and in them as they set about His work in our disordered world. If anyone thinks this is perilous and revolutionary teaching, so much the better. That is exactly what they thought of the teaching of Jesus Christ. The light He brought to bear upon human affairs is almost unbearably brilliant: but it is the light of Truth, and in that light human problems can be solved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cock has great influence on this own dunghill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10051]]></link><description><![CDATA[A cock has great influence on this own dunghill.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never saw a Purple Cow, I never hope to see one;  But I can tell you, anyhow,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10526]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never saw a Purple Cow, I never hope to see one;  But I can tell you, anyhow,   I'd rather see than be one!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A joy that's shared is a joy made double. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23439]]></link><description><![CDATA[A joy that's shared is a joy made double.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes our work feels small and insignificant.

You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Temptations come, as a general rule, when they are sought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Temptations come, as a general rule, when they are sought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All men of action are dreamers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12819]]></link><description><![CDATA[All men of action are dreamers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accuse not nature, she hath done her part;Do thou but thine, and be not diffidentOf wisdom, she deserts thee not, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25351]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accuse not nature, she hath done her part;Do thou but thine, and be not diffidentOf wisdom, she deserts thee not, if thouDismiss not her, when most thou needest her nigh,By attributing overmuch to thingsLess excellent, as thou thyself perceivest. - Paradise Lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58125]]></link><description><![CDATA[I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There 's small choice in rotten apples. -The Taming of the Shrew.
