It was no use preaching the gospel only to those who came to church to hear it. The gospel ought to be preached to those who didn't want to hear it as well: to industrialists in their offices, to clubmen in their windows, to workers in their yards and factories, to bibbers in their taverns, to harlots in their doorways, to all those should the sweet tidings of Christ be taught. It was a sorry matter for reflection that it was only heretics who dared to brave the sneers of the mob by crying aloud the Name of Jesus at street corners and in the market place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Little, vicious minds abound with anger and revenge, and are incapable of feeling the pleasure of forgiving their enemies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16525]]></link><description><![CDATA[Little, vicious minds abound with anger and revenge, and are incapable of feeling the pleasure of forgiving their enemies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What men and women need is encouragement. . . .

To Homer, the dawn was "rosy-fingered"; to Shakespeare, it was "in russet mantle clad"; to Housman, "the ship of sunrise burning". The scientist can explain exactly why the sky looks as it does in the early morning, the physiologist why we perceive as we do. Yet no one suggests that there is no dawn at all, or that its appearance has changed over the centuries, or that any one of these percipients was mad or deceitful. Why should our knowledge of the Creator be less capable of variety and development than our knowledge of any aspect of Creation?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14907]]></link><description><![CDATA[My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But pleasures are like poppies spread; You seize the flower, its bloom is shed.  Or like the snow falls ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46691]]></link><description><![CDATA[But pleasures are like poppies spread; You seize the flower, its bloom is shed.  Or like the snow falls in the river,   A moment white--then melts forever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Middle Market M&A group has been critical to Piper over the last 15 years, and Glenn is a very ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39894]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Middle Market M&A group has been critical to Piper over the last 15 years, and Glenn is a very integral part of that group.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Simplicity is the nature of great souls. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Simplicity is the nature of great souls.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21268]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She cried, and the judge wiped her tears with my checkbook. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26441]]></link><description><![CDATA[She cried, and the judge wiped her tears with my checkbook.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweetest the strain when in the song The singer has been lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56474]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweetest the strain when in the song The singer has been lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is hard!
