Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment; for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are stripped bare by the curse of plenty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61456]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are stripped bare by the curse of plenty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21364]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cruelest lies are often told in silence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64875]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cruelest lies are often told in silence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hidden evils are most dreaded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50623]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hidden evils are most dreaded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No great marketing decisions have ever been made on quantitative data ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26384]]></link><description><![CDATA[No great marketing decisions have ever been made on quantitative data]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I probably should have said no, ...

What ought to result from it? What is the point and peak and heart and centre of it? Is it the offering we bring to God of praise and adoration, of thanksgiving and sacrifice, our praise, our sacrifice to Him? That has its place, not legitimate only, but imperative. And yet to put that in the foreground is to make the service fundamentally man-centered and subjective, which, face to face with God, is surely almost unthinkably unseemly. Or is the ideal we should hold before us that other extreme, so ardently pressed on us these days, that, face to face with the Lord God Almighty, High and Holy, it is for us to forget ourselves and -- leaving behind our petty little human joys and needs and sins and risings above thanksgiving and petition and confession -- to lose ourselves in an awed adoration of God's naked and essential being, blessing and praising Him, not even for what he has done for us, and been for us, but for what, in Himself, He is. To me, that seems not an advance, but a pathetic throw-back to the primitive of Brahmanism. We shall not learn to know God better, nor how to worship Him more worthily, by careful rubbing out from memory every wonder of Christ's revelation of Him.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, nor that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master... But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test... For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is a small and unworthy goal for something as big and fancy as a whole lifetime, and should be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60271]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is a small and unworthy goal for something as big and fancy as a whole lifetime, and should be taken in small doses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is not an exact science, it is an art. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63590]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is not an exact science, it is an art.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just suppose members of our churches were voted on, like the members of certain civic clubs.

Suppose three unexcused absences required that the individual's name be automatically dropped from the roll, and he could be reinstated only by special vote of the body. Suppose absences from services had to be made up by attending services in some other place, or by carrying out some special project. Suppose church members had to be re-elected to membership each year, and that their attendance and participation in the program of activities determined how the vote went. Oh, well -- just suppose.   ... from The Baptist Messenger  September 16, 2002 Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 Commemoration of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Priest, tractarian, 1882   This seems a cheerful world, Donatus, when I view it from this fair garden, under the shadow of these vines. But if I climbed some great mountain and looked out over the wide lands, you know very well what I would see--brigands on the high roads, pirates on the seas; in the amphitheaters men murdered to please applauding crowds; under all roofs misery and selfishness. It is really a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. Yet in the midst of it I have found a quiet and holy people. They have discovered a joy which is a thousand times better than any pleasures of this sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are the Christians -- and I am one of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Next to the writer of real estate advertisements, the autobiographer is the most suspect of prose artists. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3539]]></link><description><![CDATA[Next to the writer of real estate advertisements, the autobiographer is the most suspect of prose artists.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think of life as a good book.
