The passage of Scripture which subdued and controlled my mind was this, "The servant of the Lord must not strive." It was painful indeed to see the church, with the exception of the aisles, almost forsaken; but I thought that if God would only give a double blessing to the congregation that did attend, there would on the whole be as much good done as if the congregation were doubled and the blessing limited to only half the amount. This comforted me many, many times, when, without such a reflection, I should have sunk under my burden.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What if all the myths were true... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43609]]></link><description><![CDATA[What if all the myths were true...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the man, who would be grateful, think of repaying a kindness, even while receiving it. [Lat., Qui gratus futurus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18163]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the man, who would be grateful, think of repaying a kindness, even while receiving it. [Lat., Qui gratus futurus est statim dum accipit de reddendo cogitet.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not trying to prove anybody wrong, I'm just trying to prove something to myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2284]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not trying to prove anybody wrong, I'm just trying to prove something to myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The waste of life occasioned by trying to do too many things at once is appalling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61261]]></link><description><![CDATA[The waste of life occasioned by trying to do too many things at once is appalling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If epic poetry is a definite species, the sagas do not fall within it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40476]]></link><description><![CDATA[If epic poetry is a definite species, the sagas do not fall within it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers, Teacher, 367 Commemoration of Kentigern (Mungo), Missionary Bishop in Strathclyde & Cumbria, 603  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8476]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hilary, Bishop of Poitiers, Teacher, 367 Commemoration of Kentigern (Mungo), Missionary Bishop in Strathclyde & Cumbria, 603  Having made man in His own image, a rational being, He meant him to be lord only over irrational beings: not man set over man, but man set over beasts.

Those who would give a quick, easy or confident answer to this question have failed to understand it. It cannot even be seriously considered without a profound awareness of the extent to which Christian ideas have lost their hold over, or faded from the consciousness of, large sections of the population; of the far-reaching changes that would be called for in the structure, institutions and activities of existing society, which is in many of its features a complete denial of the Christian understanding of the meaning and end of man's existence; and of the stupendous and costly spiritual, moral, and intellectual effort that any genuine attempt to order national life in accordance with the Christian understanding of life would demand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes two to make a quarrel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50999]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes two to make a quarrel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The vaccine is only about 95 percent effective.

As, therefore, He is continually making intercession for us all, so ought we to intercede and pray for one another. "A new commandment," saith He, "I give unto you, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye love one another." The newness of this precept did not consist in this, that men were commanded to love one another for this was an old precept, both of the law of Moses and of nature. But it was new in this respect, that it was to initiate a new and, till then, unheard-of example of love; it was to love one another as Christ had loved us. And if men are to know that we are disciples of Christ, by thus loving one another according to His new example of love, then it is certain that if we are void of this love we make it as plainly known unto men that we are none of His disciples.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is like a balloon.. when you push your relationship with someone forward it is like blowing up the balloon. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2177]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is like a balloon.. when you push your relationship with someone forward it is like blowing up the balloon. If you blow too hard and too fast, the balloon pops and likewise the relationship breaks. But if you take things slowly and let the balloon of love stretch on its own, it grows into a huge, prosperous balloon, full of love. Also, if you don't push the relationship at all, or at least hold it at the same level it was at, the air will flow out of the balloon, deflating it, and your love will shrivel up and become flat & lifeless. So when you are in love, push the relationship forward slowly and gently and the balloon will grow comfortably into a strong, immense love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes lots of practice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29159]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes lots of practice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Paulinus, Bishop of York, Missionary, 644   The common custom is, when the physician has given over ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Paulinus, Bishop of York, Missionary, 644   The common custom is, when the physician has given over his patient, then and not till then to send for the minister, not so much to inquire into the man's condition and to give him suitable advice as to minister comfort and to speak peace to him at a venture. But let me tell you that herein you put an extremely difficult task upon us, in expecting that we should pour wine and oil into the wound before it be searched, and speak smooth and comfortable things to a man that is but just brought to a sense of the long course of a lewd and wicked life impenitently continued in. Alas! what comfort can we give to men in such a case? We are loth to drive them to despair; and yet we must not destroy them by presumption; pity and good nature do strongly tempt us to make the best of their case and to give them all the little hopes which with any kind of reason we can --and God knows it is but very little that we can give to such persons upon good ground, for it all depends upon the degree and sincerity of their repentance, which God only knows, and we can but guess at.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Surely, sir, There's in him stuff that puts him to these ends;  For, being not propped by ancestry, whose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27393]]></link><description><![CDATA[Surely, sir, There's in him stuff that puts him to these ends;  For, being not propped by ancestry, whose grace   Chalks successors their way, nor called upon    For high feats done to th' crown, neither allied     To eminent assistants, but spiderlike      Out of his self-drawing web, 'a gives us note,       The force of his own merit makes his way,        A gift that heaven gives for him, which buys         A place next to the king.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Create your future from your future not your past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17107]]></link><description><![CDATA[Create your future from your future not your past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh for a life of sensations rather than thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24927]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh for a life of sensations rather than thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Lancelot Andrewes, Bishop of Winchester, Spiritual Writer, 1626 Commemoration of Sergius of Radonezh, Russian Monastic Reformer, Teacher, 1392 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7299]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Lancelot Andrewes, Bishop of Winchester, Spiritual Writer, 1626 Commemoration of Sergius of Radonezh, Russian Monastic Reformer, Teacher, 1392   The manifestation of God in the flesh, the Evangelists set down by way of a history; the Apostle goes farther, and finds a deep mystery in it, and for a mystery commends it to us.
