But I loved them better and better -- and still I knew how little was my love for them compared to Christ's. It is easy enough for a man to be honest and a "Good Christian" and keeper of "the moral law", when he has his own little room, his purse well filled -- when he is well shod and well fed. It is far less easy for a man who has to live from day to day, roaming from city to city, from factory to factory. It is far less easy for someone just out of jail, with nothing to wear but old down-at-the-heels shoes and a shirt in rags. All of a sudden, I understood our Lord's words: "I was in prison ... and you visited me not." All these men, lazy, outside the law, starving: these failures of all kinds -- they were dear to Christ -- they were Christ, waiting in prison for someone to lean over Him -- and if we were true Christians, we would do them every kindness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What some invent the rest enlarge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54560]]></link><description><![CDATA[What some invent the rest enlarge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vengeance comes not slowly either upon you or any other wicked man, but steals silently and imperceptibly, placing its foot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vengeance comes not slowly either upon you or any other wicked man, but steals silently and imperceptibly, placing its foot on the bad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many a one, for the sake of finery on the back, has gone with a hungry belly, and half-starved their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12967]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many a one, for the sake of finery on the back, has gone with a hungry belly, and half-starved their families.

The man whose prayer is so pure that he never asks God for anything does not know who God is, and does not know who he is himself: for he does not know his own need of God. All true prayer somehow confesses our absolute dependence on the Lord of life and death. It is, therefore, a deep and vital contact with Him whom we know not only as Lord but as Father. It is when we pray truly that we really are. Our being is brought to a high perfection by this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I can no longer bear to think of the victims of broken homes, I begin to think of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27097]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I can no longer bear to think of the victims of broken homes, I begin to think of the victims of intact ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conservatively speaking, my understanding of the law is that if Google went to scan in a book without the author's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32944]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conservatively speaking, my understanding of the law is that if Google went to scan in a book without the author's permission, then that would be a violation of copyright law.

He insists he had 'legal authority derived from the Constitution and congressional resolution authorizing force.' But the Constitution explicitly requires the president to obey the law. And the post 9/11 congressional resolution authorizing 'all necessary force' in fighting terrorism was made in clear reference to military intervention. It did not scrap the Constitution and allow the president to do whatever he pleased in any area in the name of fighting terrorism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a vital community resource. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32447]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a vital community resource.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm sure this agreement is a fair solution for the clubs involved and for the player. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40192]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm sure this agreement is a fair solution for the clubs involved and for the player.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm always described as 'cocksure' or 'with a swagger,' and that bears no resemblance to who I feel like inside. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29976]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm always described as 'cocksure' or 'with a swagger,' and that bears no resemblance to who I feel like inside.
