It blends into the scenery. Many people assume that we live in a "Christian society". Obviously, the Christian church has no strong witness against society. In [a communist country], the situation is exactly the opposite. Christians there live under a political regime which makes a point of distinguishing itself from all religion, and which is grounded philosophically on atheism and materialism. The Church lives in a hostile social order. The result is that the weak Christians are weeded out, and the strong Christians are tremendously strengthened by adversity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For purposes of action nothing is more useful than narrowness of thought combined with energy of will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36436]]></link><description><![CDATA[For purposes of action nothing is more useful than narrowness of thought combined with energy of will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51886]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At present, people don't trust him due to his status as a criminal suspect for a purported fake diploma, so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37480]]></link><description><![CDATA[At present, people don't trust him due to his status as a criminal suspect for a purported fake diploma, so Rudolf should show that he has leadership skills and honesty to encourage people to build the province together and use natural resources for the people's benefits.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12437]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How bravely Autumn paints upon the sky The gorgeous fame of Summer which is fled! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56513]]></link><description><![CDATA[How bravely Autumn paints upon the sky The gorgeous fame of Summer which is fled!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I observe that Christ and His forerunner John in their parabolic discourses were wont to allude to things present.

The old prophets, when they would describe things emphatically, did not only draw parables from things which offered themselves, as from the rent of a garment, ... from the vessels of a potter, ... but also, when such objects were wanting, they supplied them by their own actions, as by rending a garment, ... by shooting, ... etc. By such types the prophets loved to speak. And Christ, being endued with a nobler prophet spirit than the rest, excelled also in this kind of speaking, yet so as not to speak by His own actions -- [which would have been] less grave and decent -- but to turn into parables such things as offered themselves. On occasion of the harvest approaching, He admonishes His disciples once and again of the spiritual harvest. Seeing the lilies of the field, He admonishes His disciples about clothing. In allusion to the present season of fruits, He admonishes His disciples about knowing men by their fruits. In the time of the Passover, when trees put forth their leaves, He bids His disciples, "learn a parable from the fig-tree".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discretion of speech is more than eloquence; and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57328]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discretion of speech is more than eloquence; and to speak agreeably to him with whom we deal is more than to speak in good words or in good order.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21805]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915 Give me an open ear, O God, that I may hear ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8176]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915 Give me an open ear, O God, that I may hear Thy voice  calling me to high endeavor.
