It is astonishing how a commandment so simple and distinct, and how a duty which you would have imagined would be eagerly greeted by the impulse of gratitude, of affection, and of compassion, was forgotten for so long a time, in the churches of the Reformation especially. Now we are accustomed to hear of mission work among the heathen nations, and to find that a great multitude of people are interested in it, and regard it with respect; but it was only at the commencement of the last century, and with great difficulty, [that] the attention of the Church was roused to this important duty; and even in the... Church of Scotland there were a number of ministers who thought that the state of heathenism was so utterly corrupt, and that there was so much to be done in our own country, that it was altogether a Utopian project to think of converting the idolaters, and that it was not our imperative duty to trouble ourselves with their wretched condition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing about music is like dancing about architecture; it's a really stupid thing to want to do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4640]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writing about music is like dancing about architecture; it's a really stupid thing to want to do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no money in poetry, but then there's no poetry in money, either. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46795]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no money in poetry, but then there's no poetry in money, either.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Early in my business career I learned the folly of worrying about anything.

Just in the same way, dogmas and creeds cannot bring Christian unity, because human minds are not so uniformly created that they can unite in a single dogma or creed. Even our understanding of Christ Himself cannot be the basis of unity, because He is too big to be understood by any one person or group, and therefore our limited understandings do not always coincide. One emphasizes this point about Christ, another that; and this again becomes the cause of divisions. If we will only take our fellowship with Christ as the center of Christian faith, all Christians will realize their oneness... All our fellowship, however varied, is with the same Lord, and the same Saviour is our one Head.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28482]]></link><description><![CDATA[A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I quote others only in order the better to express myself. •Michel De Montaigne    Certain brief sentences ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52879]]></link><description><![CDATA[I quote others only in order the better to express myself. •Michel De Montaigne    Certain brief sentences are peerless in their ability to give one the feeling that nothing remains to be said. •Jean Rostand    I shall never be ashamed of citing a bad author if the line is good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The loss of jobs is never a pleasant thing.
