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[This is my seventh decade... and every once in a while I get a hankering to re-visit these songs again... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34242]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is my seventh decade... and every once in a while I get a hankering to re-visit these songs again... songs with which I have had a great relationship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death hath so many doors to let out life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death hath so many doors to let out life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One truth stands firm.

It wears us out by multiplying distractions and beats us down destroying our solitude, where otherwise we might drink and renew our strength, before going out to face the world again. "The thoughtful soul to solitude retires," said the poet of other and quieter times; but where is the solitude to which we can retire today? "Commune with your own heart upon your bed and be still," is a wise and healing counsel; but how can it be followed in this day of the newspaper, the telephone, the radio and television? These modern playthings, like pet tiger cubs, have grown so large and dangerous that they threaten to devour us all. What was intended to be a blessing has become a positive curse. No spot is now safe from the world's intrusion. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today. What the world will do about it is their problem. Apparently the masses want it the way it is, and the majority of Christians are so completely conformed to this present age that they, too, want things the way they are. They may be annoyed a bit by the clamor and by the goldfish-bowl existence they live, but apparently they are not annoyed enough to do anything about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mothers tell your children 'Be quick, you must be strong.
