Indeed, materials for a full biography have been withheld from men. The earliest converts were converted by a single historical fact (the Resurrection) and a single theological doctrine (the Redemption) operating on a sense of win which they already had... The "Gospels" came later and were written not to make Christians but to edify Christians already made.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To a father growing old nothing is dearer than a daughter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62924]]></link><description><![CDATA[To a father growing old nothing is dearer than a daughter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like to use the example that building a car is hard, but building the first car is quite hard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38300]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like to use the example that building a car is hard, but building the first car is quite hard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not stand on a high pedestal and take 5 cents in your hand and say, "here, my poor man", ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17496]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not stand on a high pedestal and take 5 cents in your hand and say, "here, my poor man", but be grateful that the poor man is there, so by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself.It is not the reciever that is blessed, but it is the giver.Be thankful that you are allowed to exercise your power of benevolence and mercy in the world, and thus become pure and perfect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wisest of the wise may err. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28475]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wisest of the wise may err.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hat is the ultimatum moriens of respectability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18886]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hat is the ultimatum moriens of respectability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552  There is a curious betrayal of the popular estimate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7271]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552  There is a curious betrayal of the popular estimate of this world and the world to come, in the honour paid to those who cast away life in battle, or sap it slowly in the pursuit of wealth or honours, and the contempt expressed for those who compromise life on behalf of souls, for which Christ died. Whenever, by exertion in any unselfish cause, health is broken or fortune impaired, or influential friends estranged, the follower of Christ is called an enthusiast, a fanatic, or even more plainly a man of unsound mind. He may be comforted by remembering that Jesus was said to be beside Himself when teaching and healing left Him not leisure even to eat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The damning tho't stuck in my throat and cut me like a knife, That she, whom all my life I'd ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23151]]></link><description><![CDATA[The damning tho't stuck in my throat and cut me like a knife, That she, whom all my life I'd loved, should be another's wife.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Children today are tyrants.
