Every act of goodwill permanently and sensibly increases goodwill. Trifling acts of goodwill are often more efficacious in this way than great ones. A flower given in kindness and at the right time profits more, both to giver and receiver, than some vast material benefit in which the goodwill is hidden by the magnitude of the act. Some little, sensible, individual touch from the hand of our Lord may convert the heart more than the contemplation of His death for us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is it not sheer madness to live poor to die rich? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50457]]></link><description><![CDATA[Is it not sheer madness to live poor to die rich?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All our ignorance brings us closer to death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20411]]></link><description><![CDATA[All our ignorance brings us closer to death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding.

The whole transaction of religious conversion has been made mechanical and spiritless. Faith may now be exercised without a jar to the moral life and without embarrassment to the Adamic ego. Christ may be "received" without creating any special love for Him in the soul of the receiver. The man is "saved", but he is not hungry or thirsty after God. In fact, he is specifically taught to be satisfied and encouraged to be content with little. The modern scientist has lost God amid the wonders of His world; we Christians are in real danger of losing God amid the wonders of His Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7122</guid></item></channel></rss>
