And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We figured it's about time we tried to put on a really good show.

At first sight, it may seem that they have only to proclaim and declare; but in fact, if their words are to enter men's hearts and bear fruit, they must be the right words, shaped cunningly to pass men's defenses and explode silently and effectually within their minds. This means, in practice, turning a face of flint toward the easy cliche, the well-worn religious cant and phraseology -- dear, no doubt, to the faithful, but utterly meaningless to those outside the fold. It means learning how people are thinking and how they are feeling; it means learning with patience, imagination and ingenuity the way to pierce apathy or blank lack of understanding. I sometimes wonder what hours of prayer and thought lie behind the apparently simple and spontaneous parables of the Gospel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The common good comes before the private good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47249]]></link><description><![CDATA[The common good comes before the private good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Culture is the sum of all the forms of art, of love, and of thought, which, in the coarse or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10828]]></link><description><![CDATA[Culture is the sum of all the forms of art, of love, and of thought, which, in the coarse or centuries, have enabled man to be less enslaved]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are excited about this step in the franchise registry project.

Jesus says that His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can nnot be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow -- in which no work can be done, any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan Friar, Priest, Martyr, 1941   The dual role of personification of the past and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7965]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan Friar, Priest, Martyr, 1941   The dual role of personification of the past and preserver of a subcultural ethos, a role clergymen play quite avidly, takes its toll when they speak of God. Because of the role they have been willing to play, when they use the word God it is heard in a certain way. It is heard, often with deference and usually with courtesy, as a word referring to the linchpin of the era of Christendom (past) or as the totem of one of the tribal subcultures (irrelevant). The only way clergy can ever change the way in which the word they use is perceived is to refuse to play the role of antiquarian and medicine man in which the society casts them; but this is difficult, because it is what they are paid for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6753]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money cannot buy health, but I'd settle for a diamond-studded wheelchair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money cannot buy health, but I'd settle for a diamond-studded wheelchair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only deadly sin I know is cynicism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10945]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only deadly sin I know is cynicism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The love of glory gives an immense stimulus. [Lat., Immensum gloria calcar habet.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17556]]></link><description><![CDATA[The love of glory gives an immense stimulus. [Lat., Immensum gloria calcar habet.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12851]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why do strong arms fatigue themselves with frivolous dumb-bells? To dig a vineyard is a worthier exercise for men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why do strong arms fatigue themselves with frivolous dumb-bells? To dig a vineyard is a worthier exercise for men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I told them not to give the game away.
