The grosser manifestations of these sins -- egotism, exhibitionism, self-promotion -- are strangely tolerated in Christian leaders, even in circles of impeccable orthodoxy. They are so much in evidence as actually, for many people, to become identified with the gospel. I trust it is not a cynical observation to say that they appear these days to be a requisite for popularity in some sections of the Church visible. Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My tragic view of life... leads me to have little patience with the chronic complaining I hear in modern society ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9240]]></link><description><![CDATA[My tragic view of life... leads me to have little patience with the chronic complaining I hear in modern society from people who have so much yet act as if life and society have conspired to oppress them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitudes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46977]]></link><description><![CDATA[The last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitudes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles de Foucauld, Hermit, Servant of the Poor, 1916   Assuredly there is but one way in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8412]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles de Foucauld, Hermit, Servant of the Poor, 1916   Assuredly there is but one way in which to achieve what is not merely difficult but utterly against human nature: to love those who hate us, to repay their evil deeds with benefits, to return blessings for reproaches. It is that we remember not to consider men's evil intention but to look upon the image of God in them, which cancels and effaces their transgressions, and with its beauty and dignity allures us to love and embrace them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Confidence and courage come through preparation and practice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Confidence and courage come through preparation and practice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought Andrew did a great job (defensively).

Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone. When, in your hard fight, in your tiresome drudgery, or in your terrible temptation, you catch the purpose of your being and give yourself to God, and so give Him the chance to give Himself to you, your life -- a living stone -- is taken up and set into that growing wall. Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to be a part forever, what patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer, and knows that success for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He held his seat; a friend to human race. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19952]]></link><description><![CDATA[He held his seat; a friend to human race.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accursed thirst for gold! what dost thou not compel mortals to do? [Lat., Quid non mortalia pectora cogis,  Auri ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accursed thirst for gold! what dost thou not compel mortals to do? [Lat., Quid non mortalia pectora cogis,  Auri sacra fames?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[North Korea has a strong feeling to defend itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32996]]></link><description><![CDATA[North Korea has a strong feeling to defend itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A memorandum is written not to inform the reader but to protect the writer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33284]]></link><description><![CDATA[A memorandum is written not to inform the reader but to protect the writer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is populated in the main by people who should not exist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47726]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is populated in the main by people who should not exist.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the truth were known, many sermons are prepared and preached with more regard for the sermon than the souls ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53497]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the truth were known, many sermons are prepared and preached with more regard for the sermon than the souls of the hearers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was an accident, although I’ve been involved in some kind of theatrical function or other since I was a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44403]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was an accident, although I’ve been involved in some kind of theatrical function or other since I was a child – in school, music, athletics.
