They never fail to help widows; they save orphans from those who would hurt them. If a man has something, he gives freely to the man who has nothing. If they see a stranger, Christians take him home and are happy, as though he were a real brother. They don't consider themselves brothers in the usual sense, but brothers instead through the Spirit, in God. And if they hear that one of them is in jail, or persecuted for professing the name of their redeemer, they all give him what he needs -- if it is possible, they bail him out. If one of them is poor and there isn't enough food to go around, they fast several days to give him the food he needs... This is really a new kind of person. There is something divine in them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man sufficiently gifted with humor is in small danger of succumbing to flattering delusions about himself, because he cannot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11849]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man sufficiently gifted with humor is in small danger of succumbing to flattering delusions about himself, because he cannot help perceiving what a pompous ass he would become if he did]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often devotion to virtue arises from sated desire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60798]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often devotion to virtue arises from sated desire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have one thing that counts, and that is my heart; it burns in my soul, it aches in my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54390]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have one thing that counts, and that is my heart; it burns in my soul, it aches in my flesh, and it ignites my nerves: that is my love for the people and Peron.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are.
