You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're just normal everyday kids. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40561]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're just normal everyday kids.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nice guys finish last, but we get to sleep in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56636]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nice guys finish last, but we get to sleep in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Smart people are a dime a dozen.

It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Baxter, Priest, Hymnographer, Teacher, 1691  Each of us individually has risen into moral life from a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Baxter, Priest, Hymnographer, Teacher, 1691  Each of us individually has risen into moral life from a mode of being which was purely natural; in other words, each of us also has fallen -- fallen, presumably in ways determined by his natural constitution, yet certainly, as conscience assures us, in ways for which we are morally answerable, and to which, in the moral constitution of the world, consequences attach which we must recognise as our due. They are not only results of our action, but results which that action has merited; and there is no moral hope for us unless we accept them as such.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work is behind, but 65 percent is not that far behind.

And, if you find it, remember how that it is God's appointing that you shall now behold this sin in another, in order that you may be brought to acknowledge and repent of it; and amend your ways and pray for your brother, that God may grant him repentance and amendment according to His Divine Will. Thus a good heart draws amendment from the sins of others, and is guarded from all harsh judgment and wrath, and preserves an even temper; while an evil heart puts the worst interpretation on all that it sees, and turns it to its own hurt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the wish to find out, which is the exact opposite. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4099]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the wish to find out, which is the exact opposite.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4099</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is most tolerable, and not to be endured. -Much Ado about Nothing.
