It is not humility -- it is petty pride, withholding its simple gifts from the hands of Christ because they are not more pretentious. There are men who would endow colleges, they say, if they were millionaires. They would help in the work of Bible study if they were as gifted as Henry Drummond. They would strive to lead their associates into the Christian life if they had the gifts of Dwight L. Moody. But they are not ready to give what they have and do what they can and be as it has pleased God to make them, in His service -- and that is their condemnation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Public opinion is a weak tyrant, compared with our private opinion--what a man thinks of himself, that is which determines, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44969]]></link><description><![CDATA[Public opinion is a weak tyrant, compared with our private opinion--what a man thinks of himself, that is which determines, or rather indicates his fate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm kind of disappointed.

It is only when we see things in the light of God that we see what things are really important, and what things are not. These things seem vastly important, things like ambition, and prestige, and money and gain, lose all their value and importance when they are seen in the light of God. Pleasures and habits and social customs which seem permissible enough, are seen for the dangerous things they are when they are seen in the light of God. Things which seem evils, hardship, toil, discipline, unpopularity, even persecution, are seen in their glory when they are seen in the light of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just try explaining the value of statistical summaries to the widow of the man who drowned crossing a stream with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just try explaining the value of statistical summaries to the widow of the man who drowned crossing a stream with an average depth of four feet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War is cruel and you cannot refine it. •William T.
