You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give time and permit a short delay, impetuosity ruins everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give time and permit a short delay, impetuosity ruins everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26629]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hundred men may make an encampment, but it takes a woman to make a home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27027]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hundred men may make an encampment, but it takes a woman to make a home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why?

By this we do not mean any particular part of the Church; what we do mean is that conversion must leave one linked in loving fellowship with one's fellow believers. Conversion is not something simply between a man and Jesus Christ, with no other person involved. True, it may start in that way; but it cannot end in that way. Conversion is not individualistic. It is, in fact, just the opposite. It joins man to his fellow men, and certainly does not separate him from them.
