But it is rather the giving up of self into the hands of God, without stint and without reserve, and letting Him set the work. It is the recognition of the fact that God has many kinds of work to be done, and that the best paid are not always the most honourable. To enter or exercise the ministry with a view to preferment is like marrying for money and not for love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never keep up with the Joneses.

I promise thee, Christ will not hear their excuse; for He himself suffered harm for our sakes, and for our salvation was put to extreme death. I wis, if it had pleased Him, He might have saved us and never felt pain; but in suffering pains and death He did give us example, and teach us how we should do one for another, as He did for us all; for, as He saith himself, "he that will be mine, let him deny himself, and follow me, in bearing my cross and suffering my pains."

That question has searched religion for contraband goods, stripped it of old superstitions, forced it to change its categories of thought and methods of work, and in general has so cowed and scared religion that many modern-minded believers... instinctively throw up their hands at the mere whisper of it... When a prominent scientist comes out strongly for religion, all the churches thank Heaven and take courage, as though it were the highest possible compliment to God to have Eddington believe in Him. Science has become the arbiter of this generation's thought, until to call even a prophet and a seer 'scientific' is to cap the climax of praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66809]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9759]]></link><description><![CDATA[During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cruel Remorse! where Youth and Pleasure sport, And thoughtless Folly keeps her court,--  Crouching 'midst rosy bowers thou lurk'st ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cruel Remorse! where Youth and Pleasure sport, And thoughtless Folly keeps her court,--  Crouching 'midst rosy bowers thou lurk'st unseen   Slumbering the festal hours away,    While Youth disports in that enchanting scene;     Till on some fated day      Thou with a tiger-spring dost leap upon thy prey,       And tear his helpless breast, o'erwhelmed with wild dismay.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where Andes, giant of the western star, With meteor standard to the winds unfurl'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where Andes, giant of the western star, With meteor standard to the winds unfurl'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We bought the property as much for the tree as for the Victorian house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33868]]></link><description><![CDATA[We bought the property as much for the tree as for the Victorian house.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46388]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The current earnings and the forward-looking guidance, in general, have not met expectations among a lot of companies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37905]]></link><description><![CDATA[The current earnings and the forward-looking guidance, in general, have not met expectations among a lot of companies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots.
