And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is an accumulative cruelty in a number of men, though none in particular are ill-natured. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52010]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is an accumulative cruelty in a number of men, though none in particular are ill-natured.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When men are most sure and arrogant they are commonly most mistaken, giving views to passion without that proper deliberation ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3119]]></link><description><![CDATA[When men are most sure and arrogant they are commonly most mistaken, giving views to passion without that proper deliberation which alone can secure them from the grossest absurdities]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sentiment is intellectualized emotion, emotion precipitated, as it were, in pretty crystals by the fancy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15282]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sentiment is intellectualized emotion, emotion precipitated, as it were, in pretty crystals by the fancy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What the king found was that not all agencies were in line with his program, ...
