He had many, but His favourite was to their chivalry and valour. Often He underlines the difficulties of discipleship, warns us what it will cost, that it means risk and loss and sacrifice, and pulling hard against fierce currents; and then He turns and looks at us, with that honouring trust of His in us that sets the blood tingling and makes the cheeks flush with pride. That, He says quietly, is why I am so sure that you will come: you are too big to keep out of it! And, indeed, in His own day, it was only daring and adventurous spirits who would risk declaring for Him, as it is only daring and adventurous spirits still who have the pluck to try to follow so original and unpopular a Master in the real living-out of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habit had made the custom. [Lat., Morem fecerat usus.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Habit had made the custom. [Lat., Morem fecerat usus.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm doing very well, soon to be good as new. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34044]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm doing very well, soon to be good as new.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ev'n so, with all submission, I . . . .  Send you each year a homely letter,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47827]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ev'n so, with all submission, I . . . .  Send you each year a homely letter,   Who may return me much a better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Monica, Mother of Augustine of Hippo, 387   What art Thou then, my God?

What, but the Lord God? For who is Lord but the Lord? or who is God save our God? Most highest, most good, most potent, most omnipotent; most merciful, yet most just; most hidden, yet most present; most beautiful, yet most strong; stable, yet incomprehensible; unchangeable, yet all changing; never new, never old; all-renewing, and bringing age upon the Proud, and they know it not; ever working, ever at rest; still gathering, yet nothing lacking; supporting, filling, and over-spreading; creating, nourishing, and maturing; seeking, yet having all things.

It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion.... Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw doubt, but, when once decided, going through his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known.... He was, indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man ... On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect ... it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great....]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was crazy.

All religions attempt to bridge the gulf between the terrific purity of God and the sinfulness of man, but Christianity believes that God built that bridge Himself. This particular Friday commemorates His deliberate action in allowing Himself to be caught up in the sin-suffering-death mechanism which haunts mankind. He didn't let it end there, for He went on, right through death. But the men who believe in Him can't forget the kind of Person such an act reveals. That's why they call it Good Friday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wrongdoer is more unfortunate than the man wronged. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21227]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wrongdoer is more unfortunate than the man wronged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The service you do for others is the rent you pay for the time you spend on earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57717]]></link><description><![CDATA[The service you do for others is the rent you pay for the time you spend on earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The air of England has long been too pure for a slave, and every man is free who breathes it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56597]]></link><description><![CDATA[The air of England has long been too pure for a slave, and every man is free who breathes it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deliberate violence is more to be quenched than a fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64892]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deliberate violence is more to be quenched than a fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She's infamous.
