But once, in the heart of an angry crowd, their enthusiasm soured suddenly into a growling muttering. He applied it confidently to a man who, under the inspiration of His friendship, had broken with his sorry past and his old selfish, unclean ways, and was doing what he could to put things right. Now that, He said, is what I call a saved man. Very solemnly He tells us that on the Day of Judgement we shall not be asked the questions we are expecting, but others that will puzzle and startle us. Those folk on the left hand were, as far as we hear, respectable folk; their business books were straight, their home life was kindly, they themselves were clean-living men and women: nothing whatever is laid to their charge excepting this, that they lived in a world needing their help and were too absorbed in something -- what it was, we are not told; it may have been their souls -- to give what aid they could.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ill habits gather by unseen degrees, As brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18529]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ill habits gather by unseen degrees, As brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love--and to put its trust in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59765]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love--and to put its trust in life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are beaten to earth?/ Well, well, what's that?/ Come up with a smilingface,/ It's nothing against you to fall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21646]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are beaten to earth?/ Well, well, what's that?/ Come up with a smilingface,/ It's nothing against you to fall down flat/ But to lie there-that'sa disgrace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The scalded head feares cold water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49911]]></link><description><![CDATA[The scalded head feares cold water.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Draw your salary before spending it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61069]]></link><description><![CDATA[Draw your salary before spending it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The campaign was successful.

That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Days of absence, sad and dreary, Clothed in sorrow's dark array,--  Days of absence, I am weary;   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Days of absence, sad and dreary, Clothed in sorrow's dark array,--  Days of absence, I am weary;   She I love is far away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that when you work on yourself, you are attracted by different, more positive beings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36769]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that when you work on yourself, you are attracted by different, more positive beings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His unselfishness goes a long way on this team.
