You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody basically gets behind Wood.

Poor, timorous, faithless souls that we are! How we shall smile at our vain alarms, when the worst has happened! To us here, death is the most terrible word we know. But when we have tasted its reality, it will mean to us birth, deliverance, a new creation of ourselves. It will be what health is to the sick man. It will be what home is to the exile. It will be what the loved one given back is to the bereaved. As we draw near to it, a great solemn gladness should fill our hearts. It is God's great morning lighting up the sky.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An excess of courtesy is discourtesy ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14442]]></link><description><![CDATA[An excess of courtesy is discourtesy]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have the simplest tastes.
