His preaching is essentially private conversation, and has at the back of it facts, facts of a life which explain and illustrate and enforce his words... It is such missionary work, done consciously and deliberately as missionary, that the world needs today. Everybody, Christian and pagan alike, respects such work; and, when it is so done, men wonder, and inquire into the secret of a life which they instinctively admire and covet for themselves... The spirit which inspires love of others and efforts after their well-being, both in body and soul, they cannot but admire and covet -- unless, indeed, seeing that it would reform their own lives, they dread and hate it, because they do not desire to be reformed. In either case, it works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the world's enjoyments That ever valued were,  There's none of our employments   With fishing can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16108]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the world's enjoyments That ever valued were,  There's none of our employments   With fishing can compare.   - Thomas Durfee (or D'Urfey),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blue thou art, intensely blue; Flower, whence came thy dazzling hue? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17360]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blue thou art, intensely blue; Flower, whence came thy dazzling hue?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart has reasons that reason cannot know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19012]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart has reasons that reason cannot know.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imitation is at least 50 percent of the creative process ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20566]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imitation is at least 50 percent of the creative process]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you don't do can be a destructive force. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20699]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you don't do can be a destructive force.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that will learn to pray, let him go to sea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27755]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that will learn to pray, let him go to sea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And hold up to the sun my little taper. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3520]]></link><description><![CDATA[And hold up to the sun my little taper.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11728]]></link><description><![CDATA[Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant.
