It is when tomorrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear. Never load yourselves so, my friends. If you find yourselves so loaded, at least remember this: it is your own doing, not God's.

It is only when we see things in the light of God that we see what things are really important, and what things are not. These things seem vastly important, things like ambition, and prestige, and money and gain, lose all their value and importance when they are seen in the light of God. Pleasures and habits and social customs which seem permissible enough, are seen for the dangerous things they are when they are seen in the light of God. Things which seem evils, hardship, toil, discipline, unpopularity, even persecution, are seen in their glory when they are seen in the light of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every age has its pleasures, its style of wit, and its own ways. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46690]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every age has its pleasures, its style of wit, and its own ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Chad, Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary, 672  God is always present and always working towards ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6951]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Chad, Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary, 672  God is always present and always working towards the life of the soul and its deliverance from captivity under flesh and blood. But this inward work of God, though never ceasing or altering, is yet always and only hindered by the activity of our own nature and faculties, by bad men through their obedience to earthly passions and by good men through their striving to be good in their own way, by their natural strength and a multiplicity of holy labours and contrivances. Both these sorts of people obstruct the work of God upon their souls. For we can cooperate with God no other way than by submitting to the work of God, and seeking, and leaving ourselves to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I mumble a lot off-stage, I'm a mumbler.

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/7878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Threaten the oppressed and be prepared to face their onslaught, abuse them and be prepared for an even greater threat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/240]]></link><description><![CDATA[Threaten the oppressed and be prepared to face their onslaught, abuse them and be prepared for an even greater threat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now these be the last words of David.
