But I loved them better and better -- and still I knew how little was my love for them compared to Christ's. It is easy enough for a man to be honest and a "Good Christian" and keeper of "the moral law", when he has his own little room, his purse well filled -- when he is well shod and well fed. It is far less easy for a man who has to live from day to day, roaming from city to city, from factory to factory. It is far less easy for someone just out of jail, with nothing to wear but old down-at-the-heels shoes and a shirt in rags. All of a sudden, I understood our Lord's words: "I was in prison ... and you visited me not." All these men, lazy, outside the law, starving: these failures of all kinds -- they were dear to Christ -- they were Christ, waiting in prison for someone to lean over Him -- and if we were true Christians, we would do them every kindness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The demand is going to come later and be stretched over an extended period of time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38962]]></link><description><![CDATA[The demand is going to come later and be stretched over an extended period of time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is wickedness in the intention of wickedness, even though it be not perpetrated in the act. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61553]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is wickedness in the intention of wickedness, even though it be not perpetrated in the act.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Father of Light! great God of Heaven! Hear'st thou the accents of despair?  Can guilt like man's be e'er ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48050]]></link><description><![CDATA[Father of Light! great God of Heaven! Hear'st thou the accents of despair?  Can guilt like man's be e'er forgiven?   Can vice atone for crimes by prayer?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fact is that up to now a free society has not been good for the intellectual.

It has neither accorded him a superior status to sustain his confidence nor made it easy for him to acquire an unquestioned sense of social usefulness. For he derives his sense of usefulness mainly from directing, instructing, and planning- from minding other people's business- and is bound to feel superfluous and neglected where people believe themselves competent to manage individual and communal affairs, and are impatient of supervision and regulation. A free society is as much a threat to the intellectual's sense of worth as an automated economy is to the workingman's sense of worth. Any social order that can function with a minimum of leadership will be anathema to the intellectual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But now will canker sorrow eat my bud And chase the native beauty from his cheek,  And he will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26816]]></link><description><![CDATA[But now will canker sorrow eat my bud And chase the native beauty from his cheek,  And he will look as hollow as a ghost,   As dim and meagre as an ague's fit,    And so he'll die; and rising so again,     When I shall meet him in the court of heaven      I shall not know him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had literary references, so we knew what we were talking about.

For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at allTogether we stand, divided we fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15472]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at allTogether we stand, divided we fall.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650  Prayer is the preface to the book of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8169]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650  Prayer is the preface to the book of Christian living; the test of the new life sermon; the girding on of armor for battle; the pilgrim's preparation for his journey.
