It does not always ask words, but it always wants work. The motives and not the means are the things on which it passes judgment. And the man who shows by his life that he is not ashamed of the Gospel will assuredly one day find that the Gospel is not ashamed of him. There is much more which might be said, but I refrain. Ere I close, you will let me add my emphasis to the fact that it is in our life and conduct that we must show our devotion to Christ. The silent Gospel reaches further than the grandest rhetoric.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lovely being, scarcely formed or moulded, A rose with all its sweetest leaves yet folded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3844]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lovely being, scarcely formed or moulded, A rose with all its sweetest leaves yet folded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one ought to bear patiently the results of his own conduct. [Lat., Sua quisque exempla debet aequo animo pati.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45729]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every one ought to bear patiently the results of his own conduct. [Lat., Sua quisque exempla debet aequo animo pati.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14317]]></link><description><![CDATA[There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men talk as if victory were something fortunate.

He had many, but His favourite was to their chivalry and valour. Often He underlines the difficulties of discipleship, warns us what it will cost, that it means risk and loss and sacrifice, and pulling hard against fierce currents; and then He turns and looks at us, with that honouring trust of His in us that sets the blood tingling and makes the cheeks flush with pride. That, He says quietly, is why I am so sure that you will come: you are too big to keep out of it! And, indeed, in His own day, it was only daring and adventurous spirits who would risk declaring for Him, as it is only daring and adventurous spirits still who have the pluck to try to follow so original and unpopular a Master in the real living-out of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is vain to talk of the interest of the community, without understanding what is the interest of the individual ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9106]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is vain to talk of the interest of the community, without understanding what is the interest of the individual]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three can keep a secret, if two are dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55012]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three can keep a secret, if two are dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And so never ending, But always descending. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61306]]></link><description><![CDATA[And so never ending, But always descending.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8815]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was not born for Courts or great affairs; I pay my debts, believe, and say my pray'rs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20031]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was not born for Courts or great affairs; I pay my debts, believe, and say my pray'rs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[He announced last week that he is leaving in three weeks to take a private-sector job in New York for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29245]]></link><description><![CDATA[[He announced last week that he is leaving in three weeks to take a private-sector job in New York for an employer whose identity he said he cannot yet reveal.] I've always been a dedicated public servant, ...
