Therefore he must not feel too keenly the burden of responsibility, because at the end of the day all he can say is, "We are unprofitable servants". This knowledge, far from inhibiting action, actually releases the Christian from that appalling feeling of responsibility that has driven so many high-minded humanists to despair, even to suicide... Work done conscientiously by the Christian is his share in Christ's service; but it is Christ's service, and therefore the Christian need neither be proud because it has succeeded or overwhelmed because it has failed. The service of Christ is supremely expressed in the apparent failure of the Cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men have a much better time of it than women: for one thing they marry later, for another thing they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27124]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men have a much better time of it than women: for one thing they marry later, for another thing they die earlier.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we suffer anguish we return to early childhood because that is the period in which we first learnt to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26865]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we suffer anguish we return to early childhood because that is the period in which we first learnt to suffer the experience of total loss.

It was wonderful to touch one of them and think, Perhaps the Apostle Paul or one of the martyrs touched this as they passed. But how much more wonderful is it to think that we have, for our own use, the very same sword our Lord used when the Devil attacked Him. [Brooke Foss] Westcott says "the Word of God" in Ephesians 6:17 means "a definite utterance of God". We know these "definite utterances" -- we have the same Book that He had, and we can do as He did. So let us learn the "definite utterances" that they may be ready in our minds; ready for use at the moment of need -- our sword which never grows dull and rusty, but is always keen and bright. So once more I say, let us not expect defeat but victory. Let us take fast hold and keep fast hold of our sword, and we shall win in any assault of the enemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brevity may be the soul of wit, but not when someone's saying "I love you." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4887]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brevity may be the soul of wit, but not when someone's saying "I love you."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we would have civilization and the exertion indispensable to its success, we must have property; if we have property, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47113]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we would have civilization and the exertion indispensable to its success, we must have property; if we have property, we must have its rights; if we have the rights of property, we must take those consequences of the rights of property which are inseparable from the rights themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/286]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we march against an enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61215]]></link><description><![CDATA[How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we march against an enemy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each department of knowledge passes through three stages.
