If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence of occupation is not rest, A mind quite vacant is a mind distress'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence of occupation is not rest, A mind quite vacant is a mind distress'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Solid men of Boston, banish long potations! Solid men of Boston, make no long orations! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Solid men of Boston, banish long potations! Solid men of Boston, make no long orations!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When John finishes his current suspension, if he is serious about becoming a referee, it might give him a greater ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35959]]></link><description><![CDATA[When John finishes his current suspension, if he is serious about becoming a referee, it might give him a greater appreciation of the difficulties that go with the job.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You just can't let it get to you.

But if the other members also have sinned, why should they not fast, too... Let the eye fast from strange sights and from every wantonness, so that that which roamed in freedom in fault-doing may, abundantly humbled, be checked by penitence. Let the ear, blameably eager to listen, fast from tales and rumors, and from whatsoever is of idle import, and tendeth least to salvation. Let the tongue fast from slanders and murmurings, and from useless, vain, and scurrilous words, and sometimes also, in the seriousness of silence, even from things which may seem of essential import. Let the hand abstain from ... all toils which are not imperatively necessary. But also let the soul herself abstain from all evils and from acting out her own will. For without such abstinence the other things find no favor with the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger begins in folly, and ends in repentance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2570]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger begins in folly, and ends in repentance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Buy a tin of food with no wrapper and be surprised at tea time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31356]]></link><description><![CDATA[Buy a tin of food with no wrapper and be surprised at tea time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maturity is the capacity to endure uncertainty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22282]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maturity is the capacity to endure uncertainty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take what you can use and let the rest go by ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take what you can use and let the rest go by]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never met a man I didn't like. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1645]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never met a man I didn't like.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1645</guid></item></channel></rss>
