The duty of following truth at all hazards is not altered, and it is only a false wisdom and prudence which shuns the search.

You are not called to get to heaven, to do good, or to be good -- you are called to belong to Jesus Christ. The doing good, the being good, and the getting to heaven, are the by-products of that belonging. The center of conversion is the belonging of a person to a Person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never did anything worth doing entirely by accident and none of my inventions came about totally by accident.

Whenever, by exertion in any unselfish cause, health is broken or fortune impaired, or influential friends estranged, the follower of Christ is called an enthusiast, a fanatic, or even more plainly a man of unsound mind. He may be comforted by remembering that Jesus was said to be beside Himself when teaching and healing left Him not leisure even to eat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Small have continual plodders ever won Save base authority from others' books.
