If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Sick StagA sick stag lay down in a quiet corner of its pasture-ground.

The worst thing a book can do for a Christian is to leave him with the impression that he has received from it anything really good; the best it can do is to point the way to the Good he is seeking. The function of a good book is to stand like a signpost directing the reader toward the Truth and the Life. That book serves best which early makes itself unnecessary, just as a signpost serves best after it is forgotten, after the traveler has arrived safely at his desired haven. The work of a good book is to incite the reader to moral action, to turn his eves toward God and urge him forward. Beyond that it cannot go.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On this shrunken globe, men can no longer live as strangers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4942]]></link><description><![CDATA[On this shrunken globe, men can no longer live as strangers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53086]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can be no church in which the demon will not have his chapel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8683]]></link><description><![CDATA[There can be no church in which the demon will not have his chapel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more usual than the sight of old people who yearn for retirement: and nothing is so rare than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54061]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more usual than the sight of old people who yearn for retirement: and nothing is so rare than those who have retired and do not regret it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[NATO has not received any formal request from the U.N. or from the African Union for anything beyond what it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37055]]></link><description><![CDATA[NATO has not received any formal request from the U.N. or from the African Union for anything beyond what it is currently doing.
