It is astonishing how a commandment so simple and distinct, and how a duty which you would have imagined would be eagerly greeted by the impulse of gratitude, of affection, and of compassion, was forgotten for so long a time, in the churches of the Reformation especially. Now we are accustomed to hear of mission work among the heathen nations, and to find that a great multitude of people are interested in it, and regard it with respect; but it was only at the commencement of the last century, and with great difficulty, [that] the attention of the Church was roused to this important duty; and even in the... Church of Scotland there were a number of ministers who thought that the state of heathenism was so utterly corrupt, and that there was so much to be done in our own country, that it was altogether a Utopian project to think of converting the idolaters, and that it was not our imperative duty to trouble ourselves with their wretched condition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To what base ends, and by what abject ways, Are mortals urg'd through sacred lust of praise! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48021]]></link><description><![CDATA[To what base ends, and by what abject ways, Are mortals urg'd through sacred lust of praise!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't get inspired by what happened last Sunday in Hartford, then there's something wrong with you, ...

Even though much of what we have exists only as a series of ones and zeroes somewhere in the information sphere, we do get paper copies and we should hang on to those. The movie 'The Net,' I think, makes a very intriguing point, about this very computer literate protagonist who has few human connections, and this is precisely the reason she's vulnerable to the kind of attack she suffers. It seems to me that if we keep that in mind we'll be well served.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as our social order regards the good of institutions rather than the good of men, so long will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53161]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as our social order regards the good of institutions rather than the good of men, so long will there be a vocation for the rebel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership cannot really be taught.

He was neither wrathful, cruel, nor tyrannical, but just and gentle as a king could be. During his reign he made a royal proclamation for a general assembly of all the birds and beasts, and drew up conditions for a universal league, in which the Wolf and the Lamb, the Panther and the Kid, the Tiger and the Stag, the Dog and the Hare, should live together in perfect peace and amity.
