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[Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief, in denying them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1647]]></link><description><![CDATA[Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief, in denying them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The conscious water saw its God and blushed.   - Richard Crashaw, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61679]]></link><description><![CDATA[The conscious water saw its God and blushed.   - Richard Crashaw,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Donne, Priest, Poet, 1631  I throw myself down in my chamber, and I call in and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Donne, Priest, Poet, 1631  I throw myself down in my chamber, and I call in and invite God and His Angels thither; and when they are there, I neglect God and His Angels for the noise of a fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whining of a door.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pessimist is a man who thinks everybody is as nasty as himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46436]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pessimist is a man who thinks everybody is as nasty as himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Criticism is easy, and art is difficult. [Fr., La critique est aisee, et l'art est difficile.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10739]]></link><description><![CDATA[Criticism is easy, and art is difficult. [Fr., La critique est aisee, et l'art est difficile.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hans Grovendraad, an honest clown, By cobbling in his native town,  Had earned a living ever.   His ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56222]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hans Grovendraad, an honest clown, By cobbling in his native town,  Had earned a living ever.   His work was strong and clean and fine,    And none who served at Crispin's shrine     Was at his trade more clever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acting is about giving something away, handing yourself over to whatever role you are asked to play.

It has been the largest single factor in combating, on a world-wide scale, such ancient foes of man as war, famine, and the exploitation of one race by another. More than any other religion, it has made for the dignity of human personality. This it has done by a power inherent within it of lifting lives from selfishness, spiritual mediocrity, and moral defeat and disintegration, to unselfish achievement and contagious moral and spiritual power and by the high value which it set upon every human soul through the possibilities which it held out of endless growth in fellowship with the eternal God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where London's column, pointing at the skies, Like a tall bully, lifts the head and lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43051]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where London's column, pointing at the skies, Like a tall bully, lifts the head and lies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every leader needs to look back once in a while to make sure he has followers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every leader needs to look back once in a while to make sure he has followers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In doing nothing men learn to do evil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48805]]></link><description><![CDATA[In doing nothing men learn to do evil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A book is a gift you can open again and again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4489]]></link><description><![CDATA[A book is a gift you can open again and again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When clouds are seen wise men put on their cloaks; When great leaves fall then winter is at hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51513]]></link><description><![CDATA[When clouds are seen wise men put on their cloaks; When great leaves fall then winter is at hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just about every apartment complex in the north part of town is being converted.
