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[All good things are wild, and free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17833]]></link><description><![CDATA[All good things are wild, and free.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purpose of human life and the sense of happiness is to give the maximum what the man is able ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28834]]></link><description><![CDATA[The purpose of human life and the sense of happiness is to give the maximum what the man is able to give.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The evidence is clear.
