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[Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive.

Our environment itself -- our home and our job -- is the medium through which we experience His moulding action and His besetting love. It is not Christian to try to get out of our frame, or to separate our outward life from our life of prayer, since both are the creation of one Charity. The third-rate little town in the hills, with its limited social contacts and monotonous manual work, reproves us when we begin to fuss about our opportunities and our score. And this quality of quietness, ordinariness, simplicity, with which the saving action of God enters history, endures from the beginning to the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will file a legal complaint against all of those people behind this conference, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39787]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will file a legal complaint against all of those people behind this conference,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a proof of a well-trained mind, to rejoice in what is good and to grieve at the opposite. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17848]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a proof of a well-trained mind, to rejoice in what is good and to grieve at the opposite. [Lat., Ergo hoc proprium est animi bene constituti, et laetari bonis rebus, et dolere contrariis.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old Rose is dead, that good old man, We ne'er shall see him more;  He used to wear an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2752]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old Rose is dead, that good old man, We ne'er shall see him more;  He used to wear an old blue coat   All buttoned down before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anybody investing on the assumption of who's going to win the election is skating on thin ice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37129]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anybody investing on the assumption of who's going to win the election is skating on thin ice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mention not a halter in the house of him that was hanged. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49628]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mention not a halter in the house of him that was hanged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53767]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, how portentous is prosperity! How comet-like, it threatens while it shines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48500]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, how portentous is prosperity! How comet-like, it threatens while it shines.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think if you're going to operate a motorcycle, two wheel vehicle or three wheel vehicle you out to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35546]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think if you're going to operate a motorcycle, two wheel vehicle or three wheel vehicle you out to be insured just like I'm insured.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing ends nicely, that's why it ends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing ends nicely, that's why it ends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The character came out of rehearsal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40313]]></link><description><![CDATA[The character came out of rehearsal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've bent over backwards to make this bill acceptable to the president, ...

But if these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of "religion".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3168]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fly away, pretty moth, to the shade Of the leaf where you slumbered all day;  Be content with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62195]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fly away, pretty moth, to the shade Of the leaf where you slumbered all day;  Be content with the moon and the stars, pretty moth,   And make use of your wings while you may.    . . . .     But tho' dreams of delight may have dazzled you quite,      They at last found it dangerous play;       Many things in this world that look bright, pretty moth,        Only dazzle to lead us astray.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9659]]></link><description><![CDATA[The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56644]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace.
