The hungry sheep, that crave the living Bread. Grow few, and lean, and feeble as can be, When fed not Gospel, but philosophy; Not Love's eternal story, no, not this, But apt allusion, keen analysis. Discourse well framed -- forgot as soon as heard -- Man's thin dilution of the living Word. O Preacher, leave the rhetorician's arts; Preach Christ, the Food of hungry human hearts; Hold fast to science, history, or creed, But preach the Answer to our human need, That in this place, at least, it may be said No hungry sheep looks up and is not fed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Diseases] crucify the soul of man, attenuate our bodies, dry them, wither them, shrivel them up like old apples, make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12482]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Diseases] crucify the soul of man, attenuate our bodies, dry them, wither them, shrivel them up like old apples, make them as so many anatomies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[CHRISTMAS DAY ON THE MORNING OF CHRIST'S NATIVITY This the month, and this the happy morn,  Wherein the Son ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8093]]></link><description><![CDATA[CHRISTMAS DAY ON THE MORNING OF CHRIST'S NATIVITY This the month, and this the happy morn,  Wherein the Son of Heaven's Eternal King, Of wedded maid and virgin mother born, Our great redemption from above did bring; For so the holy sages once did sing,    That he our deadly forfeit should release,  And with his Father work us a perpetual peace. That glorious form, that light insufferable,  And that far-beaming blaze majesty, Wherewith he wont at Heaven's high council-table To sit the midst of Trinal Unity He laid aside, and, here with us to be.    Forsook the courts of everlasting day,  And chose with us a darksome house of mortal clay.  Say, Heavenly Muse, shall not thy sacred vein  Afford a present to the Infant God? Hast thou no verse, no hymn, or solemn strain,  To welcome him to this his new abode,  Now while the heaven, by the Sun's team untrod,    Hath took no print of the approaching light,  And all the spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright? See how from far upon the eastern road The star-led wizards haste with odours sweet! Oh, run! present them with thy humble ode, And lay it lowly at his blessed feet; Have thou the honour first thy Lord to greet,    And join thy voice unto the Angel Quire,  From out his secret altar touched with hallowed fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obedience is the mother of success and is wedded to safety ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44724]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obedience is the mother of success and is wedded to safety]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If thou must love me, let it be for nought Except for love's sake only.

He was neither wrathful, cruel, nor tyrannical, but just and gentle as a king could be. During his reign he made a royal proclamation for a general assembly of all the birds and beasts, and drew up conditions for a universal league, in which the Wolf and the Lamb, the Panther and the Kid, the Tiger and the Stag, the Dog and the Hare, should live together in perfect peace and amity. The Hare said, Oh, how I have longed to see this day, in which the weak shall take their place with impunity by the side of the strong. And after the Hare said this, he ran for his life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world, the most difficult and the most intellectual. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24395]]></link><description><![CDATA[To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world, the most difficult and the most intellectual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're in the minority.

Any obedience is better than none. You have to seek His face; obedience is the only way of seeing Him. All your duties are obediences. To do what He bids is to obey Him, and to obey Him is to approach Him.

The common basis of their life was the conviction that they enjoyed a new relationship with God, for which they were indebted to Jesus. The technical term for this relationship was "covenant", and "covenant" became eventually in their vocabulary "testament". Hence the later name for these writings of the church, when gathered into a sacred collection, was "The New Testament" -- New because the older relationship of God to his people, which had obtained under Judaism, with its Old Testament was superseded by the faith and fellowship which Jesus Christ his Son had inaugurated. It was the consciousness of this that inspired the early Christians to live, and to write about the origin and applications of this new life. They wrote for their own age, without a thought of posterity, and they did not write in unison but in harmony.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My immediate reaction was that our job had just increased by two or three years, but that the samples were ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31070]]></link><description><![CDATA[My immediate reaction was that our job had just increased by two or three years, but that the samples were still there.
