As long as the war lasted, he looked upon him as his fellow-helper in all emergencies and fed him carefully with hay and corn. But when the war was over, he only allowed him chaff to eat and made him carry heavy loads of wood, subjecting him to much slavish drudgery and ill-treatment. War was again proclaimed, however, and when the trumpet summoned him to his standard, the Soldier put on his charger its military trappings, and mounted, being clad in his heavy coat of mail. The Horse fell down straightway under the weight, no longer equal to the burden, and said to his master, You must now go to the war on foot, for you have transformed me from a Horse into an Ass; and how can you expect that I can again turn in a moment from an Ass to a Horse?'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wanted to run faster.

It is often the one blot on an otherwise noble character. You know men who are all but perfect, and women who would be entirely perfect, but for an easily ruffled, quick-tempered, or "touchy" disposition. This compatibility of ill temper with high moral character is one of the strangest and saddest problems of ethics... No form of vice -- not worldliness, not greed of gold, not drunkenness itself -- does more to unChristianize society than evil temper. For embittering life, for breaking up communities, for destroying the most sacred relationships, for devastating homes, for withering up men and women, for taking the bloom off of childhood -- in short, for sheer, gratuitous misery-producing power -- this influence stands alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No indulgence of passion destroys the spiritual nature so much as respectable selfishness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8204]]></link><description><![CDATA[No indulgence of passion destroys the spiritual nature so much as respectable selfishness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Find an aim in life before you run out of ammunition. -Arnold Glasow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1846]]></link><description><![CDATA[Find an aim in life before you run out of ammunition. -Arnold Glasow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brother, brother; we are both in the wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brother, brother; we are both in the wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I came here.

It is only by contact with God that a better quality of living can be achieved -- and Jesus Himself, as the records show, speent many hours in communion with God -- yet that new quality of life has to be both demonstrated and tested in the ordinary rough-and-tumble of plain living. It is in ordinary human relationships that the validity of a man's communion with God is to be proved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Lawrence, Deacon at Rome, Martyr, 258   There are doubtless many reasons for the degeneration of Christianity ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7964]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Lawrence, Deacon at Rome, Martyr, 258   There are doubtless many reasons for the degeneration of Christianity into churchiness, and the narrowing of the Gospel for all mankind into a set of approved beliefs; but the chief cause must be the worship of an inadequate god -- a cramped and regulated god who is a 'good churchman' according to the formulas of the worshipper. For actual behaviour infallibly betrays the real object of the man's worship. All Christians, whatever their Church, would of course instantly repudiate the idea that their god was a super-example of their own denomination, and it is not suggested that the worship is conscious. Nevertheless, beneath the conscious critical level of the mind it is perfectly possible for the Anglo-Catholic, for example, to conceive God as particularly pleased with Anglo-Catholicism, doubtful about Evangelicalism, and frankly displeased by all forms of Nonconformity... The ultra-low Churchman on the other hand must admit, if he is honest, that the God whom he worships disapproves most strongly of vestments, incense, and candles on the altar. The tragedy of these examples -- which could be reproduced ad nauseam any day of the week -- is not difference of opinion, which will probably be with us till the Day of Judgment, but the outrageous folly and damnable sin of trying to regard God as the Party Leader of a particular point of view.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In everything the middle course is best; all things in excess bring trouble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14787]]></link><description><![CDATA[In everything the middle course is best; all things in excess bring trouble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I realized that ritual will always mean throwing away something; Destroying our corn or wine upon the altar of our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53477]]></link><description><![CDATA[I realized that ritual will always mean throwing away something; Destroying our corn or wine upon the altar of our gods.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a huge play for me because I really owe a lot to the team by accepting me coming ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29724]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was a huge play for me because I really owe a lot to the team by accepting me coming straight from junior college and just looking at me as a leader.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690 If I lay waste and wither up with doubt The blessed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7661]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury, 690 If I lay waste and wither up with doubt The blessed fields of heaven where once my Faith possessed itself serenely safe from death; If I deny things past finding out; Or if I orphan my own soul from One That seemed a Father, and make void the place Within me where He dwelt in Power and Grace, What do I gain by what I have undone?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity is often difficult to recognize; we usually expect it to beckon us with beepers and billboards. -Unknown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45123]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity is often difficult to recognize; we usually expect it to beckon us with beepers and billboards. -Unknown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45123</guid></item></channel></rss>
