Therefore he must not feel too keenly the burden of responsibility, because at the end of the day all he can say is, "We are unprofitable servants". This knowledge, far from inhibiting action, actually releases the Christian from that appalling feeling of responsibility that has driven so many high-minded humanists to despair, even to suicide... Work done conscientiously by the Christian is his share in Christ's service; but it is Christ's service, and therefore the Christian need neither be proud because it has succeeded or overwhelmed because it has failed. The service of Christ is supremely expressed in the apparent failure of the Cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well-washed and well-combed domestic pets grow dull; they miss the stimulus of fleas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well-washed and well-combed domestic pets grow dull; they miss the stimulus of fleas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How you respond to the challenge in the second half will determine what you become after the game, whether you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57536]]></link><description><![CDATA[How you respond to the challenge in the second half will determine what you become after the game, whether you are a winner or a loser.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Noble descent and worth, unless united with wealth, are esteemed no more than seaweed. [Lat., Et genus et virtus, nisi ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Noble descent and worth, unless united with wealth, are esteemed no more than seaweed. [Lat., Et genus et virtus, nisi cum re, vilior alga est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62700]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On painting and fighting looke aloofe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49682]]></link><description><![CDATA[On painting and fighting looke aloofe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All Finite things have their roots in the infinite, and if you wish to understand life at all, you cannot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20813]]></link><description><![CDATA[All Finite things have their roots in the infinite, and if you wish to understand life at all, you cannot tear out it's context. And that context, astounding even to bodily eyes is the heaven of stars and the incredible procession of the great galaxies. Doc Childre and Bruce Cryer, From Chaos to Coherence Science's view of intelligence itself has begun to change. Historically, "intelligence" has been defined simply as mental capacity. Some have even proposed that it is, therefore, fixed, finite, and genetically predetermined. Now it appears intelligence has other dimensions as well, physiologically and emotionally. We all have considerably more intelligence than we thought; we just have not learned to bring our capacity for intelligence into coherence. Martin Luther King, Jr. -W. MacNeile Dixon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clearly, the risk has increased, particularly with the current economic situation.

History shows this quite clearly. And under these conditions, neither religion nor morality can stop it.When, then, does plunder stop? It stops when it becomes more painful and more dangerous than labor.It is evident, then, that the proper purpose of law is to use the power of its collective force to stop this fatal tendency to plunder instead of to work. All the measures of the law should protect property and punish plunder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The devil hath not, in all his quiver's choice, An arrow for the heart like a sweet voice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60911]]></link><description><![CDATA[The devil hath not, in all his quiver's choice, An arrow for the heart like a sweet voice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12917]]></link><description><![CDATA[When your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted in spite of your changing moods ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14955]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith is the art of holding on to things your reason has once accepted in spite of your changing moods]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this and like communities, public sentiment is everything.

For God reigns in the hearts of His servants; there is His Kingdom. The power of grace hath subdued all His enemies; there is His power. They serve Him night and day, and give Him thanks and praise; that is His glory. This is the religion and worship of God in the temple. [Continued tomorrow]  ...Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living    October 11, 1997  Commemoration of Ethelburga, Abbess of Barking, 675  The temple itself is the heart of man, Christ is the high priest, who from thence sends up the incense of prayers, and joins them to His own intercession and presents all together to His Father; and the Holy Ghost by His dwelling there hath also consecrated it into a temple; and God dwells in our hearts by faith, and Christ by His Spirit, and the spirit by His purities: so that we are also cabinets of the mysterious Trinity, and what is this short of heaven itself, but as infancy is short of manhood?... The same state of life it is, but not the same age. It is heaven in a looking glass, dark but yet true, representing the beauties of the soul, and the grace of God, and the images of His eternal glory, by the reality of a special presence.  ...Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living    October 12, 1997  Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845  If God reveal anything to you by any other instrument of His, be as ready to receive it as ever you were to receive any truth by my ministry: for I am verily persuaded, the Lord has more truth yet to break forth out of His holy Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise hand doth not all that the foolish mouth speakes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49935]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wise hand doth not all that the foolish mouth speakes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They brought the left-hander to turn Lance around and he came up with a big hit immediately, ...
