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[It looks like they're going to get a stadium built in L.A., and I'm sure they'll be a team ready ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30872]]></link><description><![CDATA[It looks like they're going to get a stadium built in L.A., and I'm sure they'll be a team ready to move there, too,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cruelty, like every other vice, requires no motive outside of itself; it only requires opportunity]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ask not of me, love, what is love? Ask what is good of God above;  Ask of the great ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ask not of me, love, what is love? Ask what is good of God above;  Ask of the great sum what is light;   Ask what is darkness of the night;    Ask sin of what may be forgiven;     Ask what is happiness of heaven;      Ask what is folly of the crowd;       Ask what is fashion of the shroud;        Ask what is sweetness of thy kiss;         Ask of thyself what beauty is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That was a huge conference game for us.
