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[Many a smale maketh a grate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many a smale maketh a grate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good of other times let people state; I think it lucky I was born so late.  [Lat., Prisca ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45681]]></link><description><![CDATA[The good of other times let people state; I think it lucky I was born so late.  [Lat., Prisca juvent alios; ego me nunc denique natum Gratulor.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Liberty is one of the most valuable blessings that Heaven has bestowed upon mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63140]]></link><description><![CDATA[Liberty is one of the most valuable blessings that Heaven has bestowed upon mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice is the infrastructure of proprietorship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39792]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice is the infrastructure of proprietorship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say marriages are made in Heaven.

The problem is doubtless complicated, for there are many honest differences held with equal sincerity, but it is only made insoluble because the different denominations are (possibly unconsciously) imagining God to be Roman or Anglican or Baptist or Methodist or Presbyterian or what have you. If they could see beyond their little inadequate god, and glimpse the reality of God, they might even laugh a little and perhaps weep a little. The result would be a unity that actually does transcend differences, instead of ignoring them with public politeness and private contempt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52996]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Byrd Amendment virtually defines corporate welfare, ...
