Jesus says His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can not be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow, in which no work can be done any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rule goes that all prisoners can get remission as long as they have displayed good behavior, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36229]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rule goes that all prisoners can get remission as long as they have displayed good behavior,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18974]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone hears only what he understands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone hears only what he understands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I get more nervous for (Josh) than I did when I wrestled.

The resurrection of the body, on the other. I can't reach the ghost of an image, a formula, or even a feeling, that combines them. But the reality, we are given to understand, does. Reality is the iconoclast once more. Heaven will solve our problems--but not, I think, by showing us subtle reconciliations between all our apparently contradictory notions.
