That being so, you might perhaps do one or two little things, as acts of love, and also as discipline. I suggest by preference the mortification of the tongue -- as being very tiresome and quite harmless to the health.

The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once you have heard the lark, known the swish of feet through hill-top grass and smelt the earth made ready ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once you have heard the lark, known the swish of feet through hill-top grass and smelt the earth made ready for the seed, you are never again going to be fully happy about the cities and towns that man carries like a crippling weight upon his back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is hardly a man clever enough to recognize the full extent of the evil he does. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14321]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is hardly a man clever enough to recognize the full extent of the evil he does.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Welcome evill, if thou commest alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50053]]></link><description><![CDATA[Welcome evill, if thou commest alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Alban, first Martyr of Britain, c.209  Jesus... did not finish all the urgent tasks in Palestine or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8124]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Alban, first Martyr of Britain, c.209  Jesus... did not finish all the urgent tasks in Palestine or all the things He would have liked to do, but He did finish the work which God gave Him to do.
