He hath many seekers of comfort, but few of tribulation. He findeth many companions of His table, but few of His fasting. All desire to rejoice with Him, few are willing to undergo anything for His sake. Many follow Jesus that they may eat of His loaves, but few that they may drink of the cup of His passion. Many are astonished at His miracles, few follow after the shame of His Cross. Many love Jesus so long as no adversities happen to them. Many praise Him and bless Him, so long as they receive any comforts from Him. But if Jesus hide Himself and withdraw a little while, they fall either into complaining or into too great dejection of mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat oneself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16644]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat oneself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has continued to move, and I've got to assume right now it's about 55 (percent against) to 30 (in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31216]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has continued to move, and I've got to assume right now it's about 55 (percent against) to 30 (in favor), with the rest undecided.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be careful that victories do not carry the seed of future defeats. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be careful that victories do not carry the seed of future defeats.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good night!

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[Commemoration of Katherine of Alexandria, Martyr, 4th century  "The Law", he says, "was our 'pedagogue', until Christ should come." ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Katherine of Alexandria, Martyr, 4th century  "The Law", he says, "was our 'pedagogue', until Christ should come." Those words have been interpreted as though they described the Law as a preparatory education, continued at a higher stage by Christ. That, however, is not quite what Paul meant. The "pedagogue" in Greek society was not a schoolmaster, he did not give lessons. He was a slave who accompanied a boy to school, and both waited upon him and exercised a supervision which interfered with the boy's freedom of action. He is, in fact, a figure in the little allegory which Paul gives us to illustrate the position of the People of God before Christ came. There was a boy left heir to a great estate. He was a minor, and so must have guardians and trustees. He was as helpless in their hands as if he had been a slave. He must live on the allowance they gave him, and follow their wishes from day to day. They gave him a "pedagogue" to keep him out of mischief. He could not please himself, or realize his own purposes and ambitions. Yet all the time he was the heir; the estate was his, and no one else's. Just so the People of God, the Divine Commonwealth, was cramped and fettered by ignorance and evil times. It remained in uneasy expectation of one day coming into active existence. At last the heir came of age: guardians and trustees abdicated their powers, and the grown man possessed in full realization all that was his. So now the fettered life of the Divine Commonwealth bursts its bonds and comes into active existence... The intervention of law was not a reversal of God's original and eternal purpose of pure love and grace towards men, it only subserved that purpose, while it seemed to contradict it, just as the presence of the "pedagogus" might seem to the high-spirited young heir quite contrary to the rights secured to him by his father's will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We took some precautions in case the court would want to visualize the real situation on the ground.
