Every act of goodwill permanently and sensibly increases goodwill. Trifling acts of goodwill are often more efficacious in this way than great ones. A flower given in kindness and at the right time profits more, both to giver and receiver, than some vast material benefit in which the goodwill is hidden by the magnitude of the act. Some little, sensible, individual touch from the hand of our Lord may convert the heart more than the contemplation of His death for us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One mouth doth nothing without another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49695]]></link><description><![CDATA[One mouth doth nothing without another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we were off of our game.

We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  January 11, 1996 Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915   Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once in seven years I burn all my sermons; for it is a shame, if I cannot write better sermons ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7183]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once in seven years I burn all my sermons; for it is a shame, if I cannot write better sermons now than I did seven years ago.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man retires, his wife gets twice the husband but only half the income. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54057]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man retires, his wife gets twice the husband but only half the income.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness. [Lat., Turpe quid ausurus, te sine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19708]]></link><description><![CDATA[When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness. [Lat., Turpe quid ausurus, te sine teste time.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indeed, whenever a new idea is developed, as for example ballooning, warfare immediately takes possession.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64364]]></link><description><![CDATA[Indeed, whenever a new idea is developed, as for example ballooning, warfare immediately takes possession.rn]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Michelangelo finished the painting of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling, he spent the rest of his life trying to remove ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3293]]></link><description><![CDATA[When Michelangelo finished the painting of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling, he spent the rest of his life trying to remove the paint that had poured into his sleeve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great thoughts reduced to practice become great acts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59214]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great thoughts reduced to practice become great acts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He only does it to annoy you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50448]]></link><description><![CDATA[He only does it to annoy you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miserable have no other medicine But only hope. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19803]]></link><description><![CDATA[The miserable have no other medicine But only hope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hath not thy rose a canker, Somerset? Hath not thy rose a thorn, Plantagenet? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51309]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hath not thy rose a canker, Somerset? Hath not thy rose a thorn, Plantagenet?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, the best of circumstances. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10271]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, the best of circumstances.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing I can't stand is discomfort. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22384]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing I can't stand is discomfort.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pleasure for one hour, a bottle of wine.
