If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like to think of it as a type of Thanksgiving, reestablishing that connection on a human level. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40988]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like to think of it as a type of Thanksgiving, reestablishing that connection on a human level.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To exclude all jurors who would be in the slightest way affected by the prospect of the death penalty would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23594]]></link><description><![CDATA[To exclude all jurors who would be in the slightest way affected by the prospect of the death penalty would be to deprive the defendant of the impartial jury to which he or she is entitled under the law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But honest instinct comes a volunteer; Sure never to o'er-shoot, but just to hit,  While still too wide or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22829]]></link><description><![CDATA[But honest instinct comes a volunteer; Sure never to o'er-shoot, but just to hit,  While still too wide or short in human wit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The well-dressed man is he whose clothes you never notice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12977]]></link><description><![CDATA[The well-dressed man is he whose clothes you never notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Toughness played a much bigger role on those teams.

Just in the same way, dogmas and creeds cannot bring Christian unity, because human minds are not so uniformly created that they can unite in a single dogma or creed. Even our understanding of Christ Himself cannot be the basis of unity, because He is too big to be understood by any one person or group, and therefore our limited understandings do not always coincide. One emphasizes this point about Christ, another that; and this again becomes the cause of divisions. If we will only take our fellowship with Christ as the center of Christian faith, all Christians will realize their oneness... All our fellowship, however varied, is with the same Lord, and the same Saviour is our one Head.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is always a way to go if you look for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22571]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is always a way to go if you look for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're known for helping out other people in need.

To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it.

"In all their afflictions, He was afflicted." The relation of God to the woes of the world is not that of a mere spectator. The New Testament goes further, and says that God is love. But that is not love which, in the presence of acute suffering, can stand outside and aloof. The doctrine that Christ is the image of the unseen God means that God does not stand outside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11290]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But 'twas a maxim he had often tried, That right was right, and there he would abide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54241]]></link><description><![CDATA[But 'twas a maxim he had often tried, That right was right, and there he would abide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The store jelly doesn't compare.
