There is a multitude of these things wherever people live together. Nobody is too good for the meanest service...   We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God. God will be constantly crossing our paths and canceling our plans by sending us people with claims and petitions. We may pass them by, preoccupied with our more important tasks, as the priest passed by the man who had fallen among thieves, perhaps -- reading the Bible. When we do that, we pass by the visible sign of the Cross raised athwart our path to show us that not our way, but God's way must be done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friends will keep you sane, Love could fill your heart, A lover can warm your bed, But lonely is the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27785]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friends will keep you sane, Love could fill your heart, A lover can warm your bed, But lonely is the soul without a mate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two wrongs will never make a right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two wrongs will never make a right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Victory is everything.

Whenever, by exertion in any unselfish cause, health is broken or fortune impaired, or influential friends estranged, the follower of Christ is called an enthusiast, a fanatic, or even more plainly a man of unsound mind. He may be comforted by remembering that Jesus was said to be beside Himself when teaching and healing left Him not leisure even to eat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42321]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not like work even when someone else does it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62171]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not like work even when someone else does it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not a solution people are wanting to buy into.
