If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There shall be no more snow No weary noontide heat,  So we lift our trusting eyes   From ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17089]]></link><description><![CDATA[There shall be no more snow No weary noontide heat,  So we lift our trusting eyes   From the hills our Fathers trod:    To the quiet of the skies:     To the Sabbath of our God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Business demands faith, compels earnestness, requires courage, is honestly selfish, is penalized for mistakes, and is the essence of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Business demands faith, compels earnestness, requires courage, is honestly selfish, is penalized for mistakes, and is the essence of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then hasten to be drunk, the business of the day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22919]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then hasten to be drunk, the business of the day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of people age 25 to 30 don't have the capital or cash to afford fertility treatments, but that's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32920]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lot of people age 25 to 30 don't have the capital or cash to afford fertility treatments, but that's the age when they have a much greater chance of success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His overthrow heaped happiness upon him; For then, and not till then, he felt himself,  And found the blessedness ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/704]]></link><description><![CDATA[His overthrow heaped happiness upon him; For then, and not till then, he felt himself,  And found the blessedness of being little.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[…a few philosophers really do important work.
