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[Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53026]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43930]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ill habits gather by unseen degrees,As brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60519]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ill habits gather by unseen degrees,As brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The assassination changed the way we thought, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36637]]></link><description><![CDATA[The assassination changed the way we thought,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The emotional brain responds to an event more quickly than the thinking brain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65000]]></link><description><![CDATA[The emotional brain responds to an event more quickly than the thinking brain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44976]]></link><description><![CDATA[For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Baxter, Priest, Hymnographer, Teacher, 1691   He knoweth nothing as he ought to know it, who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6396]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Baxter, Priest, Hymnographer, Teacher, 1691   He knoweth nothing as he ought to know it, who thinketh he knoweth anything without seeing its place and the manner how it relateth to God, angels, and men, and to all the creatures in earth, heaven and hell, time and eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963  The word religion is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8527]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963  The word religion is extremely rare in the New Testament and the writings of mystics. The reason is simple. Those attitudes and practices to which we give the collective name of religion are themselves concerned with religion hardly at all. To be religious is to have one's attention fixed on God and on one's neighbour in relation to God. Therefore, almost by definition, a religious man, or a man when he is being religious, is not thinking about religion; he hasn't the time. Religion is what we (or he himself at a later moment) call his activity from outside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[deja vu all over again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33836]]></link><description><![CDATA[deja vu all over again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reasoning of the strongest is always the best. [Fr., La raison du plus fort est toujours la meilleure.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53097]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reasoning of the strongest is always the best. [Fr., La raison du plus fort est toujours la meilleure.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't see it making sense for Wal-Mart from a dollars-and-cents standpoint. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35557]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't see it making sense for Wal-Mart from a dollars-and-cents standpoint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some values are ... like sugar on the doughnut, legitimate, desirable, but insufficient, apart from the doughnut itself.
