"I do not envy those who have to fight the battle of Christianity in the twentieth century," wrote Marcus Dods. "Yes, perhaps I do; but it will be a stiff fight." Of course, he did, and anybody with his valiant spirit would. There was a day when our Lord passed through cheering streets wildly enthusiastic; and another day when He watched the crowds deserting Him, till even the disciples themselves seemed to be withering, and He looked at them sadly. "Will you also go away?" He said. And Peter strode across the sudden empty spaces widening around Him, and put his back to Christ's. "No", he cried; "there are two of us, at least", and faced the world, Christ's poor minority of one. I would rather have been Peter than one of the shouting mob. And today, perhaps, we may get our chance of that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But, children, you should never let Such angry passions rise;  Your little hands were never made   To ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45620]]></link><description><![CDATA[But, children, you should never let Such angry passions rise;  Your little hands were never made   To tear each other's eyes.   - Isaac Watts,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't double-click me, I can't do anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9470]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't double-click me, I can't do anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As that the walls worn thin, permit the mind To look out through, and his Frailty find. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27519]]></link><description><![CDATA[As that the walls worn thin, permit the mind To look out through, and his Frailty find.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3605]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby "it."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who does the best that circumstance allows, Does well, acts nobly, angels could no more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8731]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who does the best that circumstance allows, Does well, acts nobly, angels could no more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Buddhism we have relative truth and absolute truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4958]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Buddhism we have relative truth and absolute truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has been said, in regard to a judo expert's level of mental development, that "the arms are an extension ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23557]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has been said, in regard to a judo expert's level of mental development, that "the arms are an extension of the mind."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing you take with you when you're gone is what you leave behind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28005]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing you take with you when you're gone is what you leave behind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pain and pleasure, like light and darkness, succeed each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pain and pleasure, like light and darkness, succeed each other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54104]]></link><description><![CDATA[In taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; but in passing it over, he is superior.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be loved, be lovable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25924]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be loved, be lovable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women's propensity to share confidences is universal.
