Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one's true worship was that which he found in use in the place where he chanced to be.

Let Jones worship the sun or moon -- anything rather than the Inner Light; let Jones worship cats or crocodiles, if he can find any in his street, but not the god within. Christianity came into the world firstly in order to assert with violence that a man had not only to look inwards, but to look outwards, to behold with astonishment and enthusiasm a divine company and a divine captain. The only fun of being a Christian was that a man was not left alone with the Inner Light, but definitely recognized an outer light, fair as the sun, clear as the moon, terrible as an army with banners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As to pay, Sir, I beg leave to assure the Congress that as no pecuniary consideration could have tempted me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17145]]></link><description><![CDATA[As to pay, Sir, I beg leave to assure the Congress that as no pecuniary consideration could have tempted me to accept this arduous employment at the expense of my domestic ease and happiness, I do not wish to make any profit from it.   - George Washington,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is so dangerous as an ignorant friend; a wise enemy is worth more. [Fr., Rien n'est si dangereux qu'un ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13855]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is so dangerous as an ignorant friend; a wise enemy is worth more. [Fr., Rien n'est si dangereux qu'un ignorant ami;  Mieux vaudrait un sage ennemi.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is his own worst enemy. [Lat., Nihil inimicius quam sibi ipse.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is his own worst enemy. [Lat., Nihil inimicius quam sibi ipse.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are only five things you can do in baseball: run, throw, catch, hit and hit with power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3759]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are only five things you can do in baseball: run, throw, catch, hit and hit with power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're the truest representatives right now of their genres.
