The man of vision and imagination finds it difficult to see the value of those who do no more than plod on faithfully along a well-tried road. The man whose concern is in personal dealing with people and leading them to understand God better finds it difficult to be patient with the theologian or the Christian philosopher whose work is in the quiet of a book-lined study. Yet the truth is that the wholeness which God is working to achieve is never complete in an individual, but through individuals living together as one body, each supplying the deficiencies of the others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What do you regard as most humane?

And in view of what he plainly said, is it any wonder that all who were rich and prosperous felt a horror of strange things, a swimming of their world at his teaching? Perhaps the priests and the rich men understood him better than his followers. He was dragging out all the little private reservations they had made from social service into the light of a universal religious life. He was like some terrible moral huntsman digging mankind out of the snug burrows in which they had lived hitherto. In the white blaze of this kingdom of his there was to be no property, no privilege, no pride and precedence; no motive indeed and no reward but love. Is it any wonder that men were dazzled and blinded and cried out against him? Even his disciples cried out when he would not spare them the light. Is it any wonder that the priests realized that between this man and themselves there was no choice but that he or priestcraft should perish? Is it any wonder that the Roman soldiers, confronted and amazed by something soaring over their comprehension and threatening all their disciplines, should take refuge in wild laughter, and crown him with thorns and robe him in purple and make a mock Caesar of him? For to take him seriously was to enter upon a strange and alarming life, to abandon habits, to control instincts and impulses, to essay an incredible happiness... Is it any wonder that to this day this Galilean is too much for our small hearts?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Into the woods, my Master went, Clean forspent, forspent,  Into the woods my Master came,   Forspent with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6133]]></link><description><![CDATA[Into the woods, my Master went, Clean forspent, forspent,  Into the woods my Master came,   Forspent with love and shame.    But the olives they were not blind to Him,     The little gray leaves were kind to Him:      The thorn-tree had a mind to Him,       When into the woods He came.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A breeze came wandering from the sky, Light as the whispers of a dream;  He put the o'erhanging grasses ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61637]]></link><description><![CDATA[A breeze came wandering from the sky, Light as the whispers of a dream;  He put the o'erhanging grasses by,   And softly stooped to kiss the stream,    The pretty stream, the flattered stream,     The shy, yet unreluctant stream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You never find yourself until you face the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2072]]></link><description><![CDATA[You never find yourself until you face the truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26322]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which one is true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of my own spirit let me be in sole though feeble mastery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of my own spirit let me be in sole though feeble mastery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19195]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is the view that poetry should improve your life.
