The seven works of spiritual mercy be these: teach men the truth, counsel men to hold with Christ's law, chastise sinners by moderate reproving in charity, comfort sorrowful men by Christ's passion, forgive wrongs, suffer meekly reproofs for the right of God's law, pray heartily for friend and for foe.   ... Middle English Sermons  September 6, 2001 Commemoration of Allen Gardiner, founder of the South American Missionary Society, 1851 Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer, Teacher, Physician, Missionary, 1965   Of the access for us, at any rate, to the spirit of life -- us who were born in Christendom, and are in touch, conscious or unconscious, with Christianity -- this is the true account. Questions over which the churches spend so much labour and time -- questions about the Trinity, about the godhead of Christ, about the procession of the Holy Ghost -- are not vital; what is vital is the doctrine of access to the spirit of life through Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou art a female, Katydid! I know it by the trill  That quivers through thy piercing notes   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou art a female, Katydid! I know it by the trill  That quivers through thy piercing notes   So petulant and shrill.    I think there is a knot of you     Beneath the hollow tree,      A knot of spinster Katydids,--       Do Katydids drink tea?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of François de Sales, Bishop of Geneva, Teacher, 1622  Complain as little as possible of your wrongs, for, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7133]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of François de Sales, Bishop of Geneva, Teacher, 1622  Complain as little as possible of your wrongs, for, as a general rule, you may be sure that complaining is sin: ... because self-love always magnifies our injuries.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh that the desert were my dwelling-place! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh that the desert were my dwelling-place!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I figured maybe it was some sort of a surprise celebration for our new Teacher of the Year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29046]]></link><description><![CDATA[I figured maybe it was some sort of a surprise celebration for our new Teacher of the Year.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We absolutely could not stop those two girls. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29298]]></link><description><![CDATA[We absolutely could not stop those two girls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By the end, everybody had a label -- pig, liberal, radical, revolutionary ...

You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you get caught up in defending him, pick your poison.

No, here was a sequence of great character and emancipated spirit, all attached to and explained by such a personality as the world never saw; and the central doctrine of the risen Christ squared with the rationality and the goodness of God... The wise said that God and the godlike could have no contact with suffering, but Jesus was no phantom feigning to be crucified; he truly suffered on the cross, he truly rose. Suffering is a language all can understand, and none can quite exhaust; and the suffering Christ, victorious over pain and death, meant for all who grasped his significance a new faith in God, a new freedom of mind in God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54758]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly becomes any one of us to talk about the rest of us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is the author, men are only the players.
