But I loved them better and better -- and still I knew how little was my love for them compared to Christ's. It is easy enough for a man to be honest and a "Good Christian" and keeper of "the moral law", when he has his own little room, his purse well filled -- when he is well shod and well fed. It is far less easy for a man who has to live from day to day, roaming from city to city, from factory to factory. It is far less easy for someone just out of jail, with nothing to wear but old down-at-the-heels shoes and a shirt in rags. All of a sudden, I understood our Lord's words: "I was in prison ... and you visited me not." All these men, lazy, outside the law, starving: these failures of all kinds -- they were dear to Christ -- they were Christ, waiting in prison for someone to lean over Him -- and if we were true Christians, we would do them every kindness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exceeding fair she was not; and yet fair In that she never studied to be fairer  Than Nature made ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Exceeding fair she was not; and yet fair In that she never studied to be fairer  Than Nature made her; her beauty cost her nothing,   Her virtues were so rare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64028]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that.
