You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The highest law gives a thing to him who can use it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48434]]></link><description><![CDATA[The highest law gives a thing to him who can use it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45044]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is better for the environment than the standard diesel we're using.

Tell Him your troubles, that He may comfort you; tell Him your joys, that He may sober them; tell Him your longings, that He may purify them; tell Him your dislikes, that He may help you conquer them; talk to Him of your temptations, that He may shield you from them: show Him the wounds of your heart, that He may heal them; lay bare your indifference to good, your depraved tastes for evil, your instability. Tell Him how self-love makes you unjust to others, how vanity tempts you to be insincere, how pride disguises you to yourself and others.  If you thus pour out all your weaknesses, needs, troubles, there will be no lack of what to say. You will never exhaust the subject. It is continually being renewed. People who have no secrets from each other never want for subjects of conversation. They do not weigh their words, for there is nothing to be held back; neither do they seek for something to say. They talk out of the abundance of the heart, without consideration they say just what they think. Blessed are they who attain to such familiar, unreserved intercourse with God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24993]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others. -Pericles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, Teacher, 1153 Commemoration of William & Catherine Booth, Founders of the Salvation Army, 1912 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7870]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, Teacher, 1153 Commemoration of William & Catherine Booth, Founders of the Salvation Army, 1912 & 1890   Bernard [of Clairvaux] did not stop with love for God or Christ, he insisted also that the Christian must love his neighbors, including even his enemies. Not necessarily that he must feel affection for them -- that is not always possible in this life, though it will be in heaven -- but that he must treat them as love dictates, doing always for others what he would that they should do for him.  ... A. C. McGiffert, A History of Christian Thought  August 21, 2000   At the very moment when the pulpit has fallen strangely silent about sin, fiction can talk of little except evil, not indeed viewed as sin, but apparently as the invariable ways of a peculiarly repulsive insect, which it can't help, poor thing; and there is no manner of use expecting anything from it, except the nastiness natural to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6106]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Had I but served my God with half the zeal I served my king, he would not in mine age ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56048]]></link><description><![CDATA[Had I but served my God with half the zeal I served my king, he would not in mine age Have left me naked to mine enemies. -King Henry VIII.
