And here and there in the New Testament, we blunder in on Christ and find Him on His knees; and, once at least, ere we can escape, cannot but overhear Him pleading our names. "Neither pray I for these alone," that is, for Peter and John and the rest, "but for those who will believe through them"-- that is, for you and me. Hush! the Lord Christ is praying for you! And what is it He asks for us? That we be given such a spirit of unity and brotherliness and Christlikeness that people, coming upon us, will look at us, and look again, and then from us to Jesus Christ, seeking the explanation of us there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A glass is good, and a lass is good, And a pipe to smoke in cold weather;  The world ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59399]]></link><description><![CDATA[A glass is good, and a lass is good, And a pipe to smoke in cold weather;  The world is good and the people are good,   And we're all good fellows together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But I did feel a friendship with him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30351]]></link><description><![CDATA[But I did feel a friendship with him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habit, my friend, is practice long pursued, that at last becomes man himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18569]]></link><description><![CDATA[Habit, my friend, is practice long pursued, that at last becomes man himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...

I remember you and recall you without effort, without exercise of will; that is, by natural impulse, indicated by a sense of duty, or of obligation. And that, I take it, is the only sort of remembering worth the having. When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy -- that it is built upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We grow like flowers, and bear desire, The odor of the human flowers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11965]]></link><description><![CDATA[We grow like flowers, and bear desire, The odor of the human flowers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They fail, and they alone, who have not striven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21197]]></link><description><![CDATA[They fail, and they alone, who have not striven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He would not, with a peremptory tone, Assert the nose upon his face his own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12746]]></link><description><![CDATA[He would not, with a peremptory tone, Assert the nose upon his face his own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Connellsville made the big shots and you have to give them credit.

Fully persuaded that the Bible was an imposture, they were determined to expose [it]. Mr. West chose the Resurrection of Christ, and Lord Lyttleton the conversion of St Paul, for the subject of hostile criticism. Both sat down to their respective tasks full of prejudice and a contempt for Christianity. The results of their separate endeavours was that they were both converted by their attempts to overthrow the truth of Christianity! They came together, not as they had expected, to exult over an imposture exposed to ridicule, but to lament their folly and congratulate each other on their joint conviction, that the Bible was the word of God. Their able enquiries have furnished two most valuable treatises in favour of revelation -- one, entitled "Observations on the Conversion of St Paul", and the other, "Observations on the Resurrection of Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He gets through too late who goes too fast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18789]]></link><description><![CDATA[He gets through too late who goes too fast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brabling Curres never want torne eares. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brabling Curres never want torne eares.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah! happy years! once more who would not be a boy! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah! happy years! once more who would not be a boy!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can spend a lifetime, and, if you're honest with yourself, never once was your work perfect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22259]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can spend a lifetime, and, if you're honest with yourself, never once was your work perfect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We believe that the star clusters lighting up the tips of the pillars are essentially the offspring of the region's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40973]]></link><description><![CDATA[We believe that the star clusters lighting up the tips of the pillars are essentially the offspring of the region's single, massive star.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was harder racing the track today than it was the competition.
