He is nothing of the kind: he is simply a man who is sure of his foundation, and is convinced that the only way to any true advancement is spiritual, and is Christ; and therefore he persists, in spite of all appearances, in clinging to Christ as the only foundation, and in building all his hopes for the future on the acceptance of Christ. He is not content with attacks upon symptoms of evil; they seem to him superficial: he goes to the roots. He cannot be content with teaching men Christian principles of conduct, "Christian ideals of social life" -- still less with the establishment of colleges and clubs. Nothing but Christ Himself, faith in Christ, the obedience of Christ, seems to him equal to the need, and nothing else is his work but the establishment of that foundation. In doing this he is not showing indifference to social evils, he is not standing aloof from beneficent movements; he is actively engaged in laying the axe to the roots of the trees which bear the evil. That is not indifference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good man, through obscurest aspirations Has still an instinct of the one true way.  [Ger., Ein guter Mensch, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17859]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good man, through obscurest aspirations Has still an instinct of the one true way.  [Ger., Ein guter Mensch, in seinem dunkeln Drange,   Ist sich des rechten Weges sohl bewusst.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No call has ever poisoned by pen. [Fr., Aucun fiel n'a jamais empoisonne ma plumme.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3530]]></link><description><![CDATA[No call has ever poisoned by pen. [Fr., Aucun fiel n'a jamais empoisonne ma plumme.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing that costs only a dollar is not worth having. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing that costs only a dollar is not worth having.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2303]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The castled crag of Drachenfels, Frowns o'er the wide and winding Rhine,  Whose breast of waters broadly swells  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54189]]></link><description><![CDATA[The castled crag of Drachenfels, Frowns o'er the wide and winding Rhine,  Whose breast of waters broadly swells   Between the banks which bear the vine,    And hills all rich with blossom'd trees,     And fields which promise corn and wine,      And scatter'd cities crowning these,       Whose far white walls along them shine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the consciousness of the end is the limitation ofthe moment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22781]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the consciousness of the end is the limitation ofthe moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11773]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A trip to the hospital is always a descent into the macabre.
