It is the recognition of the fact that God has many kinds of work to be done, and that the best paid are not always the most honourable. To enter or exercise the ministry with a view to preferment is like marrying for money and not for love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We fear that the glittering generalities of the speaker have left an impression more delightful than permanent.   - ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45231]]></link><description><![CDATA[We fear that the glittering generalities of the speaker have left an impression more delightful than permanent.   - Franklin J.
