Here is a summary:  To set an infinite value on men's souls. To abstain from whatever deepens India's prejudice against the Gospel. To watch for every chance of doing the people good. To preach Christ crucified as the grand means of conversions. To esteem and treat Indians always as equals. To be instant in the nurture of personal religion. To cultivate the spiritual gifts of the Indian brethren, ever pressing upon them their missionary obligation, since only Indians can win India for Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hildegard, Abbess of Bingen, Visionary, 1179   Reading is good, hearing is good, conversation and meditation are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7351]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hildegard, Abbess of Bingen, Visionary, 1179   Reading is good, hearing is good, conversation and meditation are good; but then, they are only good at times and occasions, in a certain degree, and must be used and governed with such caution as we eat and drink and refresh ourselves, or they will bring forth in us the fruits of intemperance. But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The oneness of human beings is the basic ethical thread that holds us together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19972]]></link><description><![CDATA[The oneness of human beings is the basic ethical thread that holds us together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intolerant only of intolerance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intolerant only of intolerance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To those who feel that their values are the values, the less controlled systems necessarily present a spectacle of "chaos," ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47159]]></link><description><![CDATA[To those who feel that their values are the values, the less controlled systems necessarily present a spectacle of "chaos," simply because such systems respond to a diversity of values. The more successfully such systems respond to diversity, the more "chaos" there will be, by definition, according to the standards of any specific set of values- other than diversity or freedom as values. Looked at another way, the more self-righteous observers there are, the more chaos (and "waste") will be seen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas turns things tail-end foremost.

The day and the spirit of Christmas rearrange the world parade. As the world arranges it, usually there come first in importance -- leading the parade with a big blare of a band -- the Big Shots. Frequently they are also the Stuffed Shirts. That's the first of the parade. Then at the tail end, as of little importance, trudge the weary, the poor, the lame, the halt, and the blind. But in the Christmas spirit, the procession is turned around. Those at the tail end are put first in the arrangement of the Child of Christmas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1441]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Dwarfe on a Gyants shoulder sees further of the two. [A dwarf on a giant's shoulder sees farther of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Dwarfe on a Gyants shoulder sees further of the two. [A dwarf on a giant's shoulder sees farther of the two.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you review them from someone else's perspective, you have a better filtering system to filter out people that wouldn't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39435]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you review them from someone else's perspective, you have a better filtering system to filter out people that wouldn't work for you,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There, Shakespeare, on whose forehead climb The crowns o' the world.

Frederick Ward Kates  September 2, 2000 Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942   The apostles were moved, not so much by an intellectual apprehension, as by a spiritual illumination. They met men, and the need of those men whom they met cried aloud to them. Their own desire for the revelation of the glory of Jesus in the salvation of men went out towards those whom they met, and was immediately answered by the recognition of the need of those whom they met for Jesus Christ.   ... Roland Allen, Pentecost and the World  ... Also see comments on this book in Bookworms September 3, 2000 Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604   The task is not, in essence, the securing of uniformity, or cooperation, or Church reunion, or any of the external forms, through which nevertheless the unity may be manifested. Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.   ... G. T. Manley, Christian Unity  September 4, 2000 Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650   If all you have found [in Christianity] is advantage, whether it is fun or profit or security, then you haven't started following Him yet. His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All loose things seem to drift down to the sea, and so did I. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63939]]></link><description><![CDATA[All loose things seem to drift down to the sea, and so did I.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Service without reward is punishment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49740]]></link><description><![CDATA[Service without reward is punishment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intel has announced its next chip: the Repentium. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9413]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intel has announced its next chip: the Repentium.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The changeful change of circumstances. [Lat., Varia sors rerum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8726]]></link><description><![CDATA[The changeful change of circumstances. [Lat., Varia sors rerum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24144]]></link><description><![CDATA[They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The inaudible and noiseless foot of Time. -All 's Well that Ends Well.
