Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley?

Love them, and you will see the eternal in the glance of their eyes of jet, amber, or emerald. Love also the trees, the plants, the water that runs though the meadow and on to the sea without knowing where it goes; love the mountain, the desert, the forest, the immense sky, full of light or full of clouds; because all these exceed man and reveal the eternal to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who build beneath the stars build too low. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who build beneath the stars build too low.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like the stain'd web that whitens in the sun, Grow pure by being purely shone upon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5794]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like the stain'd web that whitens in the sun, Grow pure by being purely shone upon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Be bold!" first gate; "Be bold, be bold, and evermore be bold," second gate; "Be not too bold!" third gate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10268]]></link><description><![CDATA["Be bold!" first gate; "Be bold, be bold, and evermore be bold," second gate; "Be not too bold!" third gate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have found that being honest is the best technique I can use.

I promise thee, Christ will not hear their excuse; for He himself suffered harm for our sakes, and for our salvation was put to extreme death. I wis, if it had pleased Him, He might have saved us and never felt pain; but in suffering pains and death He did give us example, and teach us how we should do one for another, as He did for us all; for, as He saith himself, "he that will be mine, let him deny himself, and follow me, in bearing my cross and suffering my pains." Wherefore we must needs suffer pain with Christ to do our neighbor good, as well with the body and all his members, as with heart and mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7972</guid></item></channel></rss>
