The worst thing a book can do for a Christian is to leave him with the impression that he has received from it anything really good; the best it can do is to point the way to the Good he is seeking. The function of a good book is to stand like a signpost directing the reader toward the Truth and the Life. That book serves best which early makes itself unnecessary, just as a signpost serves best after it is forgotten, after the traveler has arrived safely at his desired haven. The work of a good book is to incite the reader to moral action, to turn his eves toward God and urge him forward. Beyond that it cannot go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maundy Thursday  Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872  In the whole range of history there is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6624]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maundy Thursday  Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872  In the whole range of history there is no more striking contrast than that of the Apostolic churches with the heathenism around them. They had shortcomings enough, it is true, and divisions and scandals not a few, for even apostolic times were no golden age of purity and primitive simplicity. Yet we can see that their fullness of life, and hope, and promise for the future, were a new sort of power in the world. Within their own limits they had solved almost by the way the social problem which baffled Rome, and baffles Europe still. They had lifted woman to her rightful place, restored the dignity of labour, abolished beggary, and drawn the sting of slavery. The secret of the revolution is that the selfishness of race and class were forgotten in the Supper of the Lord, and a new basis for society found in love of the visible image of God in men for whom Christ died.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unix gives you just enough rope to hang yourself -- and then a couple of more feet, just to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60256]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unix gives you just enough rope to hang yourself -- and then a couple of more feet, just to be sure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27047]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Peter & Paul, Apostles   The desire for unity has haunted me all my life through; I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Peter & Paul, Apostles   The desire for unity has haunted me all my life through; I have never been able to substitute any desire for that, or to accept any of the different schemes for satisfaction of that men have desired.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People should think less about what they ought to do and more about what they ought to be.

If only their being were good, their works would shine forth brightly. Do not imagine that you can ground your salvation upon actions; it must rest on what you are. The ground upon which good character rests is the very same ground from which man's work derives its value, namely, a mind wholly turned to God. Verily, if you were so minded, you might tread on a stone and it would be a more pious work than if you, simply for your own profit, were to receive the Body of the Lord and were wanting in spiritual detachment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A society that does not recognize that each individual has values of his own which he is entitled to follow ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47399]]></link><description><![CDATA[A society that does not recognize that each individual has values of his own which he is entitled to follow can have no respect for the dignity of the individual and cannot really know freedom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been no more than a medium, as it were. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3325]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have been no more than a medium, as it were.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love builds bridges where there are none. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2096]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love builds bridges where there are none.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sister, look ye, How, by a new creation of my tailor's  I've shook off old mortality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58561]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sister, look ye, How, by a new creation of my tailor's  I've shook off old mortality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Founded by vocalist Amy Lee and guitarist-songwriter Ben Moody in the late '90s, the band has only gained momentum since ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29978]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Founded by vocalist Amy Lee and guitarist-songwriter Ben Moody in the late '90s, the band has only gained momentum since its song] Bring Me To Life ...
