But it is rather the giving up of self into the hands of God, without stint and without reserve, and letting Him set the work. It is the recognition of the fact that God has many kinds of work to be done, and that the best paid are not always the most honourable. To enter or exercise the ministry with a view to preferment is like marrying for money and not for love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The German is the discipline of fear;

Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man must drive his energy, not be driven by it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22218]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man must drive his energy, not be driven by it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet.
