How, then, is it with you and me? Be very sure that upon Calvary it was no strange, immoral favouritism that came into operation, whereby because of some beliefs that remain mere dead letters, that produce no change whatever in their characters, some people living the same kind of life as others and following the same selfish interests and ends as they, are given a destiny entirely different. That is the vainest of vain dreams. Rather is this the supreme revelation of a new way of living life; and only those who -- blunderingly, it may be, yet honestly -- seek to adopt and imitate it can be counted really Christian folk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When liberty comes with hands dabbled in blood it is hard to shake hands with her. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24667]]></link><description><![CDATA[When liberty comes with hands dabbled in blood it is hard to shake hands with her.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scientists tell us that the fastest animal on earth, with a top speed of 120 ft/sec, is a cow that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57048]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scientists tell us that the fastest animal on earth, with a top speed of 120 ft/sec, is a cow that has been dropped out of a helicopter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The highest qualities of character… must be earned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1399]]></link><description><![CDATA[The highest qualities of character… must be earned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[but it is only a small snapshot of what is going on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39734]]></link><description><![CDATA[but it is only a small snapshot of what is going on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To receive honestly is the best thanks for a good thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58988]]></link><description><![CDATA[To receive honestly is the best thanks for a good thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words represent your intellect.

Here is a summary:  To set an infinite value on men's souls. To abstain from whatever deepens India's prejudice against the Gospel. To watch for every chance of doing the people good. To preach Christ crucified as the grand means of conversions. To esteem and treat Indians always as equals. To be instant in the nurture of personal religion. To cultivate the spiritual gifts of the Indian brethren, ever pressing upon them their missionary obligation, since only Indians can win India for Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is nothing short of a huge coup to have the president come in right before the election. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35087]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is nothing short of a huge coup to have the president come in right before the election.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54282]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't like the weather, wait a minute ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61481]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't like the weather, wait a minute]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59737]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trafficking in persons for sexual purposes is a debased and degrading practice which must be stopped, ...
