Whenever, by exertion in any unselfish cause, health is broken or fortune impaired, or influential friends estranged, the follower of Christ is called an enthusiast, a fanatic, or even more plainly a man of unsound mind. He may be comforted by remembering that Jesus was said to be beside Himself when teaching and healing left Him not leisure even to eat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vengeance is a dish best eaten cold ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vengeance is a dish best eaten cold]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're all professionals in here and everyone can give a little more and be a little better.

It has been the largest single factor in combating, on a world-wide scale, such ancient foes of man as war, famine, and the exploitation of one race by another. More than any other religion, it has made for the dignity of human personality. This it has done by a power inherent within it of lifting lives from selfishness, spiritual mediocrity, and moral defeat and disintegration, to unselfish achievement and contagious moral and spiritual power and by the high value which it set upon every human soul through the possibilities which it held out of endless growth in fellowship with the eternal God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And Heaven, that every virtue bears in mind, E'en to the ashes of the just is kind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23754]]></link><description><![CDATA[And Heaven, that every virtue bears in mind, E'en to the ashes of the just is kind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For him in vain the envious seasons roll, Who bears eternal summer in his soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1899]]></link><description><![CDATA[For him in vain the envious seasons roll, Who bears eternal summer in his soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have a young girl, the owner's daughter, doing what family wants her to do, and an immigrant trying to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29720]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have a young girl, the owner's daughter, doing what family wants her to do, and an immigrant trying to save up to bring the rest of his family over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The headline is very misleading on this one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32172]]></link><description><![CDATA[The headline is very misleading on this one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could never accept findings based almost exclusively on mathematics.

It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a maxim to me that no man was ever written out of reputation but by himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53875]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a maxim to me that no man was ever written out of reputation but by himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He had a warningheart attack inhis 30'safter a mealof macaroni and cheeseand big mac'sand macaroons.. but Godgave him a 2nd ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17586]]></link><description><![CDATA[He had a warningheart attack inhis 30'safter a mealof macaroni and cheeseand big mac'sand macaroons.. but Godgave him a 2nd chance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The seven works of bodily mercy be these: feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7884]]></link><description><![CDATA[The seven works of bodily mercy be these: feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked and the needy, harbour the houseless, comfort the sick, visit prisoners, bury the dead. The seven works of spiritual mercy be these: teach men the truth, counsel men to hold with Christ's law, chastise sinners by moderate reproving in charity, comfort sorrowful men by Christ's passion, forgive wrongs, suffer meekly reproofs for the right of God's law, pray heartily for friend and for foe.   ... Middle English Sermons  September 6, 2001 Commemoration of Allen Gardiner, founder of the South American Missionary Society, 1851 Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer, Teacher, Physician, Missionary, 1965   Of the access for us, at any rate, to the spirit of life -- us who were born in Christendom, and are in touch, conscious or unconscious, with Christianity -- this is the true account. Questions over which the churches spend so much labour and time -- questions about the Trinity, about the godhead of Christ, about the procession of the Holy Ghost -- are not vital; what is vital is the doctrine of access to the spirit of life through Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10341]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10341</guid></item></channel></rss>
