But I loved them better and better -- and still I knew how little was my love for them compared to Christ's. It is easy enough for a man to be honest and a "Good Christian" and keeper of "the moral law", when he has his own little room, his purse well filled -- when he is well shod and well fed. It is far less easy for a man who has to live from day to day, roaming from city to city, from factory to factory. It is far less easy for someone just out of jail, with nothing to wear but old down-at-the-heels shoes and a shirt in rags. All of a sudden, I understood our Lord's words: "I was in prison ... and you visited me not." All these men, lazy, outside the law, starving: these failures of all kinds -- they were dear to Christ -- they were Christ, waiting in prison for someone to lean over Him -- and if we were true Christians, we would do them every kindness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only after an unknown number of unrecorded labors, after a host of noble hearts have succumbed in discouragement, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5361]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only after an unknown number of unrecorded labors, after a host of noble hearts have succumbed in discouragement, convinced that ;their cause is lost; it is only then that cause triumphs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11394]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to be the widow of a hero than he wife of a coward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61564]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to be the widow of a hero than he wife of a coward.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16878]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A rich man's joke is always funny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20097]]></link><description><![CDATA[A rich man's joke is always funny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the information age, you don't teach philosophy as they did after feudalism.
