It is the untroubled that are in danger. Trouble in itself is always a claim on love, and God is love. He must deny Himself if He does not come to help the helpless. It is the prisoners, and the blind, and the leper, and the possessed, and the hungry, and the tempest-tossed, who are His special care. Therefore if you are lost and sick and bound, you are just in the place where He can meet you. Blessed are the mourners. They shall be comforted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must all die! All leave ourselves, it matters not where, when,  Nor how, so we die well; and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11179]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must all die! All leave ourselves, it matters not where, when,  Nor how, so we die well; and can that man that does so   Need lamentation for him?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was one of a lean body and visage, as if his eager soul, biting for anger at the clog ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2821]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was one of a lean body and visage, as if his eager soul, biting for anger at the clog of his body, desired to fret a passage through it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm really into those shows.

Now, we cannot get over this plain fact by saying that it was a religious ceremony: that would be mere sophistry. It was an indulgence in the festivity of life; as plainly as words can describe, here was a banquet of human enjoyment. The very language of the master of the feast about men who had well drunk, tells us that there had been, not excess, of course, but happiness there, and merry-making. Neither can we explain away the lesson by saying that it is no example to us, for Christ was there to do good, and that what was safe for Him might be unsafe for us. For if His life is no pattern for us here in this case of accepting an invitation, in what can we be sure it is a pattern? Besides, He took His disciples there, and His mother was there: they were not shielded, as He was, by immaculate purity. He was there as a guest first, as Messiah only afterwards: thereby He declared the sacredness of natural enjoyments.... For Christianity does not destroy what is natural, but ennobles it. To turn water into wine, and what is common into what is holy, is indeed the glory of Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You bring in freshman and you know they have the talent to do it.
