Who is my true brother? We cannot always tell whether or not a man believes in Christ; but we can always ask -- Christianity is not a secret society. And if a man says he loves the Lord, why should I not treat him as my brother? If I should happen to welcome one who is only a professing Christian, who has not given his heart to Christ, what harm has it done? I will have offered the love of God to one who rejects it, and I will have given a few hours of my life to an enemy -- but our Father holds out His hands all day long to a rebellious people, and our Savior gave His life for me when I was His enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18377]]></link><description><![CDATA[Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The frost performs its secret ministry, Unhelped by any wind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61713]]></link><description><![CDATA[The frost performs its secret ministry, Unhelped by any wind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Boniface (Wynfrith) of Crediton, Archbishop of Mainz, Apostle of Germany, Martyr, 754  God has no grandchildren. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7081]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Boniface (Wynfrith) of Crediton, Archbishop of Mainz, Apostle of Germany, Martyr, 754  God has no grandchildren.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Physical courage, which despises all danger, will make a man brave in one way; and moral courage, which despises all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Physical courage, which despises all danger, will make a man brave in one way; and moral courage, which despises all opinion, will make a man brave in another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13089]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody saw anyone being handcuffed.

You may have to dig deep to find it but its there. Everything is the same even though its different. Somehow everything connects back with your life. The faces in certain places may be different, but the situation is the same. Irony is a hidden factor that creeps around us in life, letting its presence felt only after it has left. Picture back to a year ago and the situation you were in. Look at how things are different yet somehow everything it still in someway cognate. Everything connects together to form the balance of life, to maintain structure. Change is and always will be inevitable, but everything is relative, and all the moments and times in your life will come back around again, you just might find yourself on the other side of the coin. Things are always changing, as fast as everything stays the same.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It happens a lot with English bulldogs, a breed known to have difficulty giving birth.
