Mercy is not ordinarily held to consist in pronouncing judgment on another man's deserts, but in relieving his necessities; in giving aid to the poor, not in inquiring how good they are.  .. St. Ambrose    December 8, 1997  There is a manifest want of spiritual influence on the ministry of the present day. I feel it in my own case and I see it in that of others. I am afraid there is too much of a low, managing, contriving, maneuvering temper of mind among us. We are laying ourselves out more than is expedient to meet one man's taste and another man's prejudices. The ministry is a grand and holy affair, and it should find in us a simple habit of spirit and a holy but humble indifference to all consequences. A leading defect in Christian ministers is want of a devotional habit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As for marigolds, poppies, hollyhocks, and valorous sunflowers, we shall never have a garden without them, both for their own ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16241]]></link><description><![CDATA[As for marigolds, poppies, hollyhocks, and valorous sunflowers, we shall never have a garden without them, both for their own sake, and for the sake of old-fashioned folks, who used to love them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[a very nice (Grey Cup) ring; lots of diamonds, quality diamonds, too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38881]]></link><description><![CDATA[a very nice (Grey Cup) ring; lots of diamonds, quality diamonds, too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Either this man is dead or my watch has stopped. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11367]]></link><description><![CDATA[Either this man is dead or my watch has stopped.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes it's Britney Spears and sometimes it's Carrie Fisher.
