But I loved them better and better -- and still I knew how little was my love for them compared to Christ's. It is easy enough for a man to be honest and a "Good Christian" and keeper of "the moral law", when he has his own little room, his purse well filled -- when he is well shod and well fed. It is far less easy for a man who has to live from day to day, roaming from city to city, from factory to factory. It is far less easy for someone just out of jail, with nothing to wear but old down-at-the-heels shoes and a shirt in rags. All of a sudden, I understood our Lord's words: "I was in prison ... and you visited me not." All these men, lazy, outside the law, starving: these failures of all kinds -- they were dear to Christ -- they were Christ, waiting in prison for someone to lean over Him -- and if we were true Christians, we would do them every kindness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What humbugs we are, who pretend to live for Beauty, and never see the Dawn! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43879]]></link><description><![CDATA[What humbugs we are, who pretend to live for Beauty, and never see the Dawn!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that hath love in his brest, hath spurres in his sides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49352]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that hath love in his brest, hath spurres in his sides.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I shall be condemned Upon surmises, all proofs sleeping else  But what your jealousies awake, I tell you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23171]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I shall be condemned Upon surmises, all proofs sleeping else  But what your jealousies awake, I tell you   'Tis rigor and not law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23171</guid></item></channel></rss>
