It is not humility -- it is petty pride, withholding its simple gifts from the hands of Christ because they are not more pretentious. There are men who would endow colleges, they say, if they were millionaires. They would help in the work of Bible study if they were as gifted as Henry Drummond. They would strive to lead their associates into the Christian life if they had the gifts of Dwight L. Moody. But they are not ready to give what they have and do what they can and be as it has pleased God to make them, in His service -- and that is their condemnation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18174]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty is whatever gives joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty is whatever gives joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we did everything tonight but win on the scoreboard.

He will only do harm to himself and to the community. Alone you stood before God when He called you; alone you had to answer that call; alone you had to struggle and pray; and alone you will die and give an account to God. You cannot escape yourself; for God has singled you out. If you refuse to be alone, you are rejecting Christ's call to you, and you can have no part in the community of those who are called.... Let him who is not in community beware of being alone. Into the community you were called -- the call was not meant for you alone; in the community of the called you bear your cross, you struggle, you pray. You are not alone even in death, and on the Last Day you will be only one of the great congregation of Jesus Christ. If you scorn the fellowship of the brethren, you reject the call of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Space and light and order.
