For verily it is not deep words that make a man holy and upright; it is a good life which maketh a man dear to God. I had rather feel contrition than be skillful in the definition thereof. If thou knewest the whole Bible, and the sayings of all the philosophers, what should this profit thee without the love and grace of God?  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ April 11, 1996 Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878  When an unskillful servant gathers many herbs, flowers, and seeds in a garden, you gather them out that are useful, and cast the rest out of sight; so Christ deals with our performances.

This is the cause that the saints at the last day, when they meet their own duties and performances, know them not, they are so changed from what they were when they went out of their hand. "Lord, when saw we Thee naked or hungry?" So God accepts a little, and Christ makes our little a great deal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words without actions are the assassins of idealism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words without actions are the assassins of idealism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The press, like fire, is an excellent servant, but a terrible master. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23351]]></link><description><![CDATA[The press, like fire, is an excellent servant, but a terrible master.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played great the last 15 minutes [against Syracuse].
