For to be vain, or proud, or covetous, or ambitious, in the common course of our business, is as contrary to these holy tempers of Christianity as cheating and dishonesty. If a glutton were to say, in excuse of his gluttony, that he only eats such things as it is lawful to eat, he would make as good an excuse for himself as the greedy, covetous, ambitious tradesman that would say that he only deals in lawful business. For, as a Christian is not only required to be honest, but to be of a Christian spirit, and make his life an exercise of humility, repentance, and heavenly affection, so all tempers that are contrary to these are as contrary to Christianity as cheating is contrary to honesty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the high achievers, studying gave them the pleasing, absorbing challenge o flow 40 percent of the hours they spent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25340]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the high achievers, studying gave them the pleasing, absorbing challenge o flow 40 percent of the hours they spent at it.

But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have patience with all things, but first of all with yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45732]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have patience with all things, but first of all with yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, nothing comes to us too soon but sorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, nothing comes to us too soon but sorrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57236</guid></item></channel></rss>
