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[And weep the more, because I weep in vain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58800]]></link><description><![CDATA[And weep the more, because I weep in vain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vice knows she's ugly, so puts on her mask ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60486]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vice knows she's ugly, so puts on her mask]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I see difficulties in India overtaking China.
