This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means [toward] great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head that softness and idleness were to be avoided and that self-denial was a part of Christianity... It would teach you to exercise power over yourself, and make you able by degrees to renounce other pleasures and tempers that war against the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In all four countries, it is clear that WFP will have to expand its existing operations to drought-affected populations in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36566]]></link><description><![CDATA[In all four countries, it is clear that WFP will have to expand its existing operations to drought-affected populations in order to address the increasing needs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are you green and growing or ripe and rotting?. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21809]]></link><description><![CDATA[Are you green and growing or ripe and rotting?.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If our inward griefs were seen written on our brow, how many would be pitied who are now envied! [It., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18339]]></link><description><![CDATA[If our inward griefs were seen written on our brow, how many would be pitied who are now envied! [It., Se a ciascun l'interno affanno  Si leggesse in fronte scritto,   Quanti mai, che invidia fanno,    Ci farebbero pieta!]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I see, but cannot reach, the height That lies forever in the light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2328]]></link><description><![CDATA[I see, but cannot reach, the height That lies forever in the light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We lose that ability to connect with individuals who have that insight and could help us navigate through (government). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42461]]></link><description><![CDATA[We lose that ability to connect with individuals who have that insight and could help us navigate through (government).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And truly, I'll devise some honest slanders To stain my cousin with.

It is cantankerous, and it is independent. The idea of independence is the key. It really is like colonialism. The colonies suddenly decide that they can and should exist with their own personality and should detach from the control of the mother country. At first the colony is perceived as being treacherous. It's a betrayal. Ultimately, it can be seen as the separation of a partner that could be very valuable as an equal rather than as something you dominate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, 988   In coming to know Jesus, you have come to know yourself, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7020]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, 988   In coming to know Jesus, you have come to know yourself, too: naturally, this is more pleasant for some than for others, but to see yourself as you really are can never be entirely pleasant. And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the most uncomfortable thing about martyrs is that they look down on people who aren't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26473]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the most uncomfortable thing about martyrs is that they look down on people who aren't.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22711]]></link><description><![CDATA[All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And thus we rust Life's iron chain  Degraded and alone: And some men curse, and some men weep,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8397]]></link><description><![CDATA[And thus we rust Life's iron chain  Degraded and alone: And some men curse, and some men weep,  And some men make no moan: But God's eternal Laws are kind  And break the heart of stone. And every human heart that breaks,  In prison-cell or yard, Is as that broken box that gave  Its treasure to the Lord, And filled the unclean leper's house  With the scent of costliest nard. Ah! happy they whose hearts can break  And peace of pardon win! How else may man make straight his plan  And cleanse his soul from sin? How else but through a broken heart  May Lord Christ enter in?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be your own hero, it's cheaper than a movie ticket. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19262]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be your own hero, it's cheaper than a movie ticket.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never think of the future.

A quarter of an hour of this prayer, brings you out of your closet a new man; your heart feels the good of it; and every return of such a prayer, gives new life and growth to all your virtues, with more certainty, than the dew refreshes the herbs of the field: whereas, overlooking this true prayer of your own heart, and only at certain times taking a prayer that you find in a book, you have nothing to wonder at, if you are every day praying, and yet every day sinking further and further under all your infirmities.

Jesus says that His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can nnot be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow -- in which no work can be done, any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often the search proves more profitable than the goal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17626]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often the search proves more profitable than the goal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great man is the man who does something for the first time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63548]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great man is the man who does something for the first time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being is.
