He had many, but His favourite was to their chivalry and valour. Often He underlines the difficulties of discipleship, warns us what it will cost, that it means risk and loss and sacrifice, and pulling hard against fierce currents; and then He turns and looks at us, with that honouring trust of His in us that sets the blood tingling and makes the cheeks flush with pride. That, He says quietly, is why I am so sure that you will come: you are too big to keep out of it! And, indeed, in His own day, it was only daring and adventurous spirits who would risk declaring for Him, as it is only daring and adventurous spirits still who have the pluck to try to follow so original and unpopular a Master in the real living-out of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These guys are going to be the first people that play in the Wells Fargo Arena in a game that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32790]]></link><description><![CDATA[These guys are going to be the first people that play in the Wells Fargo Arena in a game that matters.

The reason is simple. Those attitudes and practices to which we give the collective name of religion are themselves concerned with religion hardly at all. To be religious is to have one's attention fixed on God and on one's neighbour in relation to God. Therefore, almost by definition, a religious man, or a man when he is being religious, is not thinking about religion; he hasn't the time. Religion is what we (or he himself at a later moment) call his activity from outside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conceit is an insuperable obstacle to all progress. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conceit is an insuperable obstacle to all progress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't hold a man down without staying down with him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45162]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't hold a man down without staying down with him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child's hand in yours-what tenderness it arouses, what power it conjures.
