If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Linux poses a real challenge for those with a taste for late-nighthacking (and/or conversations with God). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25145]]></link><description><![CDATA[Linux poses a real challenge for those with a taste for late-nighthacking (and/or conversations with God).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just do what you do best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1256]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just do what you do best.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one sees the personality not as an apparatus that is essentiallyconstructed by the time childhood is over, but as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21906]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one sees the personality not as an apparatus that is essentiallyconstructed by the time childhood is over, but as always in its essencedeveloping, then life at 25 or 30 or at the gateway to middle age willstimulate its own intrigue, surprise, and exhilaration of discovery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Simply duty hath no place for fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13077]]></link><description><![CDATA[Simply duty hath no place for fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows the public opinion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11608]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows the public opinion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People exaggerate the value of things they haven't got: everybody worships truth and unselfishness because they have no experience with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60353]]></link><description><![CDATA[People exaggerate the value of things they haven't got: everybody worships truth and unselfishness because they have no experience with them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52674]]></link><description><![CDATA[I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take her, fair son, and from her blood raise up Issue to me, that the contending kingdoms  Of France ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6169]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take her, fair son, and from her blood raise up Issue to me, that the contending kingdoms  Of France and England, whose very shores look pale   With envy of each other's happiness,    May cease their hatred, and this dear conjunction     Plant neighborhood and Christian-like accord      In their sweet bosoms, that never war advance       His bleeding sword 'twixt England and fair France.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Change starts when someone sees the next step. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5498]]></link><description><![CDATA[Change starts when someone sees the next step.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that every person is born with talent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4079]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that every person is born with talent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I could see what God was doing.
