And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We read not that Christ ever exercised force but once; and that was to drive profane ones out of his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8123]]></link><description><![CDATA[We read not that Christ ever exercised force but once; and that was to drive profane ones out of his Temple, not to force them in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An injured friend is the bitterest of foes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66820]]></link><description><![CDATA[An injured friend is the bitterest of foes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou givest life and love for Greece and Right: I will stand by thee lest thou shouldst be weak,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15626]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou givest life and love for Greece and Right: I will stand by thee lest thou shouldst be weak,  Not weak of soul.--I will but hold in sight   Thy marvelous beauty.--Here is    She you seek!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His deeds inimitable, like the Sea That shuts still as it opes, and leaves no tracts  Nor prints of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11675]]></link><description><![CDATA[His deeds inimitable, like the Sea That shuts still as it opes, and leaves no tracts  Nor prints of Precedent for poore men's facts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/286]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The SEC has been closer to the Mountain West, Conference USA, and the Big East than it has been to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37652]]></link><description><![CDATA[The SEC has been closer to the Mountain West, Conference USA, and the Big East than it has been to either the Big 12 or the Pac-10, ...

One of the Apes, who had raised himself to beking, commanded them to be seized and brought before him, that hemight know what was said of him among men. He ordered at thesame time that all the Apes be arranged in a long row on hisright hand and on his left, and that a throne be placed for him,as was the custom among men. After these preparations hesignified that the two men should be brought before him, andgreeted them with this salutation: What sort of a king do I seemto you to be, O strangers?' The Lying Traveler replied, You seemto me a most mighty king. And what is your estimate of thoseyou see around me?' These, he made answer, are worthycompanions of yourself, fit at least to be ambassadors andleaders of armies. The Ape and all his court, gratified with thelie, commanded that a handsome present be given to the flatterer. On this the truthful Traveler thought to himself, If so great areward be given for a lie, with what gift may not I be rewarded,if, according to my custom, I tell the truth?' The Ape quicklyturned to him. And pray how do I and these my friends around meseem to you?' Thou art, he said, a most excellent Ape, and allthese thy companions after thy example are excellent Apes too.The King of the Apes, enraged at hearing these truths, gave himover to the teeth and claws of his companions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As far as tourists, (Worcester County) can't be beat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40016]]></link><description><![CDATA[As far as tourists, (Worcester County) can't be beat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If Cleveland Indians'Wahoo is racistare not also Boston Celtics?naming a team for only partof the city? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19684]]></link><description><![CDATA[If Cleveland Indians'Wahoo is racistare not also Boston Celtics?naming a team for only partof the city?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must take personal responsibility.

I am told that even respectable characters speak of a monarchical form of government without horror. From thinking proceeds speaking, thence to acting is often but a single step. But how irrevocable and tremendous!
