Jesus says that His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can nnot be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow -- in which no work can be done, any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From Helicon's harmonious springs A thousand rills their mazy progress take. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4920]]></link><description><![CDATA[From Helicon's harmonious springs A thousand rills their mazy progress take.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great man is the man who does something for the first time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63548]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great man is the man who does something for the first time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambition can creep as well as soar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65444]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambition can creep as well as soar.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miser, starving his brother's body, starves also his own soul, and at death shall creep out of his great ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42732]]></link><description><![CDATA[The miser, starving his brother's body, starves also his own soul, and at death shall creep out of his great estate of injustice, poor and naked and miserable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the beginning, we were prepared, we know how we would shoot and cut the two versions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30227]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the beginning, we were prepared, we know how we would shoot and cut the two versions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None but a mule denies his family. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15177]]></link><description><![CDATA[None but a mule denies his family.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never knew what a reporter looked like. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34121]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never knew what a reporter looked like.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is the nobler growth our realms supply And souls are ripened in our northern sky. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26248]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is the nobler growth our realms supply And souls are ripened in our northern sky.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Babies are such a nice way to start people ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Babies are such a nice way to start people]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63877]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[what power had I before I learned to yield?

It blends into the scenery. Many people assume that we live in a "Christian society". Obviously, the Christian church has no strong witness against society. In [a communist country], the situation is exactly the opposite. Christians there live under a political regime which makes a point of distinguishing itself from all religion, and which is grounded philosophically on atheism and materialism. The Church lives in a hostile social order. The result is that the weak Christians are weeded out, and the strong Christians are tremendously strengthened by adversity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our memory is like a shop in the window of which is exposed now one, now another photograph of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26968]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our memory is like a shop in the window of which is exposed now one, now another photograph of the same person.
