If obedience to the will of GOD be necessary to happiness, and knowledge of his will be necessary to obedience, I know not how he that withholds this knowledge, or delays it, can be said to love his neighbour as himself. He, that voluntarily continues ignorance, is guilty of all the crimes which ignorance produces; as to him that should extinguish the tapers of a light-house, might justly be imputed the calamities of shipwrecks. (Continued tomorrow)   ... a letter from Samuel Johnson to William Drummond of Edinburgh, 1766  July 13, 2002   Christianity is the highest perfection of humanity; and as no man is good but as he wishes the good of others, so no man can be good in the highest degree, who wishes not to others the largest measures of the greatest good. To omit for a year, or for a day, the most efficacious method of advancing Christianity [i.e., the Bible], in compliance with any purposes that terminate this side of the grave, is a crime [the like] of which I know not that the world has yet had an example.   ... a letter from Samuel Johnson to William Drummond of Edinburgh, 1766  July 14, 2002 Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866   The "good" man, the man whose god is righteousness, has as his life's ambition the keeping of rules and commandments and the keeping of himself uncontaminated by the world. This sounds admirable; but, as the truth of Christ showed, the whole of such living, the whole drive and ambition, the whole edifice, is self-centered. That entire process of effort must be abandoned if a man is to give himself in love to God and his fellows. He must lose his life if he is ever going to find it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People travel in the way of least resistance, by choosing one's environment, one will travel in a particular way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22506]]></link><description><![CDATA[People travel in the way of least resistance, by choosing one's environment, one will travel in a particular way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn as though you would never be able to master it; hold it as though you would be in fear ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learn as though you would never be able to master it; hold it as though you would be in fear of losing it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And then to breakfast with What appetite you have. -King Henry VIII.
