If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hardest of all is learning to be a well of affection, and not a fountain; to show them we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1636]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hardest of all is learning to be a well of affection, and not a fountain; to show them we love them not when we feel like it, but when they do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Home is home, though it be never so homely. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19615]]></link><description><![CDATA[Home is home, though it be never so homely.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience, that blending of moral courage with physical timidity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66535]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience, that blending of moral courage with physical timidity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To climb steep hills Requires slow pace at first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51354]]></link><description><![CDATA[To climb steep hills Requires slow pace at first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ants never sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ants never sleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But there was not a job that could say that Luther Allison didn't do his job. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41182]]></link><description><![CDATA[But there was not a job that could say that Luther Allison didn't do his job.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happier are the hands compast with yron, then a heart with thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49307]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happier are the hands compast with yron, then a heart with thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4178]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

And again, in any prosperity of ourselves or others, we must not omit to testify our recognition of God's hand by praise and thanksgiving. Lastly, we must in all our prayers carefully avoid wishing to confine God to certain circumstances, or prescribe to him the time, place, or mode of action. In like manner, we are taught by [the Lord's] prayer not to fix any law or impose any condition upon him, but leave it entirely to him to adopt whatever course of procedure seems to him best, in respect of method, time, and place. For, before we offer up any petition for ourselves, we ask that his will may be done, and by so doing place our will in subordination to his, just as if we had laid a curb upon it, that, instead of presuming to give law to God, it may regard him as the ruler and disposer of all its wishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is a state of openness or trust. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63475]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith is a state of openness or trust.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a true genius appears in the world you may know him by this sign: that all the dunces are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1083]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a true genius appears in the world you may know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in confederacy against him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When someone hands you a flyer, it's like they're saying here you throw this away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64796]]></link><description><![CDATA[When someone hands you a flyer, it's like they're saying here you throw this away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23698]]></link><description><![CDATA[If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them.
