Jesus says that His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can nnot be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow -- in which no work can be done, any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prosperity depends more on wanting what you have than having what you want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21273]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prosperity depends more on wanting what you have than having what you want.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A God without dominion, providence, and final causes, is nothing else but fate and nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63764]]></link><description><![CDATA[A God without dominion, providence, and final causes, is nothing else but fate and nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only after an unknown number of unrecorded labors, after a host of noble hearts have succumbed in discouragement, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5361]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only after an unknown number of unrecorded labors, after a host of noble hearts have succumbed in discouragement, convinced that ;their cause is lost; it is only then that cause triumphs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Must I give way and room to your rash choler? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51293]]></link><description><![CDATA[Must I give way and room to your rash choler?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is, as it were, a second self. [Lat., Amicus est tanquam alter idem.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16768]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is, as it were, a second self. [Lat., Amicus est tanquam alter idem.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What then in the last resort are the truths of mankind?

He stared telling hes story, about the treasure and his life and all, and I thought: "This story isn't too long." But then, he kept going, and I started thinking, "Uh-oh, this story is getting long." But then the story was over, and I said to myself: "You know, that story wasn't too long after all." I forget what the story was about, but there was a good movie on the plane.

Here is a summary:  To set an infinite value on men's souls. To abstain from whatever deepens India's prejudice against the Gospel. To watch for every chance of doing the people good. To preach Christ crucified as the grand means of conversions. To esteem and treat Indians always as equals. To be instant in the nurture of personal religion. To cultivate the spiritual gifts of the Indian brethren, ever pressing upon them their missionary obligation, since only Indians can win India for Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63020]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep spring from coming.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ass and His Driver AN ASS, being driven along a high road, suddenly started off andbolted to the brink ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1499]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Ass and His Driver AN ASS, being driven along a high road, suddenly started off andbolted to the brink of a deep precipice.

For even they are sure that to live for nothing higher than oneself is to lose life; that life, to be called life, can be found only in serving something bigger than one's personal interests; something that crowds these out of mind and heart, till one forgets about them and lives wholly, and without exception, for that other, worthier thing... It is long since Aristotle told us that only barbarians have as their ideal the wish to live as they please, and to do what they like. And the New Testament gravely sets us down before the Cross, and bids us gaze, and still gaze, and keep gazing, till the fact has soaked itself into our minds that that, not less than that, is now the standard set us, and that whatever in our lives clashes with that is sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Farmer and the StorkA farmer placed nets on his newly-sown plowlands and caught a number of Cranes, which came ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1526]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Farmer and the StorkA farmer placed nets on his newly-sown plowlands and caught a number of Cranes, which came to pick up his seed. With them he trapped a Stork that had fractured his leg in the net and was earnestly beseeching the Farmer to spare his life. Pray save me, Master, he said, and let me go free this once. My broken limb should excite your pity. Besides, I am no Crane, I am a Stork, a bird of excellent character; and see how I love and slave for my father and mother. Look too, at my feathers-- they are not the least like those of a Crane.  The Farmer laughed aloud and said, It may be all as you say, I only know this: I have taken you with these robbers, the Cranes, and you must die in their company. Birds of a feather flock together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4739]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence.
