Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing as mundane as mere evidence can be allowed to threaten a vision so deeply satisfying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing as mundane as mere evidence can be allowed to threaten a vision so deeply satisfying.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will not choose what many men desire, Because I will not jump with common spirits  And rank me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6072]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will not choose what many men desire, Because I will not jump with common spirits  And rank me with the barbarous multitudes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ther n' is no werkman whatever he be, That may both werken wel and hastily.  This wol be done ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62089]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ther n' is no werkman whatever he be, That may both werken wel and hastily.  This wol be done at leisure parfitly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My job is to keep people out of court.

A quarter of an hour of this prayer, brings you out of your closet a new man; your heart feels the good of it; and every return of such a prayer, gives new life and growth to all your virtues, with more certainty, than the dew refreshes the herbs of the field: whereas, overlooking this true prayer of your own heart, and only at certain times taking a prayer that you find in a book, you have nothing to wonder at, if you are every day praying, and yet every day sinking further and further under all your infirmities.
