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[They believe in their heart of hearts that their comprehensive plan is going to do more than Hilton's $70 per ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37308]]></link><description><![CDATA[They believe in their heart of hearts that their comprehensive plan is going to do more than Hilton's $70 per share.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say be parted well and paid his score, And so, God be with him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45574]]></link><description><![CDATA[They say be parted well and paid his score, And so, God be with him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47941]]></link><description><![CDATA[To know the pains of power, we must go to those who have it; to know its pleasures, we must go to those who are seeking it: the pains of power are real, its pleasure imaginary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. - On the first moonwalk, July 20, 1969. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60230]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. - On the first moonwalk, July 20, 1969.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cal/OSHA does not have enough field inspectors to meet its day-to-day responsibilities, let alone effectively investigate complaints at a huge ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42175]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cal/OSHA does not have enough field inspectors to meet its day-to-day responsibilities, let alone effectively investigate complaints at a huge project like the Bay Bridge retrofit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21059]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Study until twenty-five, investigation until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Study until twenty-five, investigation until forty, profession until sixty, at which age I would have him retired on a double allowance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not about the pasture of the sheep, but about their wool. [Lat., Non est de pastu ovium quaestio, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8684]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not about the pasture of the sheep, but about their wool. [Lat., Non est de pastu ovium quaestio, sed de lana.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherever we find orderly, stable systems in Nature, we find that they are hierarchically structured, for the simple reason that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56792]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wherever we find orderly, stable systems in Nature, we find that they are hierarchically structured, for the simple reason that without such structuring of complex systems into sub-assemblies, there could be no order and stability- except the order of a dead universe filled with a uniformly distributed gas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite.

Therefore he rejects difficult things from impatience of research; sober things, because they narrow hope; the deeper things of nature, from superstition; the light of experience, from arrogance and pride; things not commonly believed, out of deference to the opinion of the vulgar.
