What is the reason that so many in our days set their hands to the plough, and looked back again? -- begin to serve Providence in great things, but cannot finish? -- give over in the heat of the day? They never had any such revelation of the mind of God upon their spirits, such a discovery of His excellence, as might serve for a bottom of such undertakings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience is a dim lamp, which only lights the one who bears it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience is a dim lamp, which only lights the one who bears it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The state is the great fiction by which everybody tries to live at the expense of everybody else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47142]]></link><description><![CDATA[The state is the great fiction by which everybody tries to live at the expense of everybody else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've won this race three times, so I enjoy being out front.

Take heed to yourselves: love them. In no way can thy enemy so hurt thee by his violence, as thou dost hurt thyself if thou love him not. And let it not seem to you impossible to love him. Believe first that it can be done, and pray that the will of God may be done in you. For what good can thy neighbor's ill do to thee? If he had no ill, he would not even be thine enemy. Wish him well, then, that he may end his ill, and he will be thine enemy no longer. For it is not the human nature in him that is at enmity with thee, but his sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let a man practise the profession he best knows. [Lat., Quam quisque novit artem, in hac se exerceat.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let a man practise the profession he best knows. [Lat., Quam quisque novit artem, in hac se exerceat.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If ..

Frederick Ward Kates  September 2, 2000 Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942   The apostles were moved, not so much by an intellectual apprehension, as by a spiritual illumination. They met men, and the need of those men whom they met cried aloud to them. Their own desire for the revelation of the glory of Jesus in the salvation of men went out towards those whom they met, and was immediately answered by the recognition of the need of those whom they met for Jesus Christ.   ... Roland Allen, Pentecost and the World  ... Also see comments on this book in Bookworms September 3, 2000 Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604   The task is not, in essence, the securing of uniformity, or cooperation, or Church reunion, or any of the external forms, through which nevertheless the unity may be manifested. Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.   ... G. T. Manley, Christian Unity  September 4, 2000 Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650   If all you have found [in Christianity] is advantage, whether it is fun or profit or security, then you haven't started following Him yet. His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intuition isn't the enemy, but the ally, of reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22988]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intuition isn't the enemy, but the ally, of reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had fun with it, ...
