"Now they are all on their knees," An elder said as we sat in a flock By the embers in herath side ease. We pictured the meek mild creatures where They dwelt in their strawy pen, Nor did it occur to one of us there To doubt they were kneeling then. So fair a fancy few would weave In these years! yet, I feel If someone said on Christmas Eve, "Come; see the oxen kneel, In the lonely barton by yonder coomb Our childhood used to know," I should go with him in the gloom, Hoping it might be so.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In almost everything, experience is more valuable than precept. [Lat., Nam in omnibus fere minus valent praecepta quam experimenta.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14690]]></link><description><![CDATA[In almost everything, experience is more valuable than precept. [Lat., Nam in omnibus fere minus valent praecepta quam experimenta.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet still he fills affection's eye, Obscurely wise, and coarsely kind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44763]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet still he fills affection's eye, Obscurely wise, and coarsely kind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boys don't make passes at female smart-asses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4810]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boys don't make passes at female smart-asses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship.

But I loved them better and better -- and still I knew how little was my love for them compared to Christ's. It is easy enough for a man to be honest and a "Good Christian" and keeper of "the moral law", when he has his own little room, his purse well filled -- when he is well shod and well fed. It is far less easy for a man who has to live from day to day, roaming from city to city, from factory to factory. It is far less easy for someone just out of jail, with nothing to wear but old down-at-the-heels shoes and a shirt in rags. All of a sudden, I understood our Lord's words: "I was in prison ... and you visited me not." All these men, lazy, outside the law, starving: these failures of all kinds -- they were dear to Christ -- they were Christ, waiting in prison for someone to lean over Him -- and if we were true Christians, we would do them every kindness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cowardice, as distinguished from panic, is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10513]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cowardice, as distinguished from panic, is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a major dream come true at last.
