In fact, I believe that this government effort is a fishing expedition that unnecessarily disrupts the normal business operations of resellers and the manufacturers that supply them. If the government thought something was really wrong, they wouldn't have cast such a wide net to go hunting. I think this is a classic example of prosecutorial overreach.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mocking the air with colours idly spread. -King John.

Examples could be multiplied. This type of service is a great witness to the reality of Christian life and faith; but it presupposes a spirit of fellowship within the Church, a spirit which is all too rare. It means that there is mutual respect and trust between the minister and the members of his Church; and a spirit of fellowship which is outward-looking and which issues in service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878   Come all crosses, welcome, welcome! so I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878   Come all crosses, welcome, welcome! so I may get my heart full of my Lord Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of over-great pleasure in being popular or even beloved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2831]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beware of over-great pleasure in being popular or even beloved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pursuit, even of the best things, ought to be calm and tranquil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42888]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pursuit, even of the best things, ought to be calm and tranquil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambition often puts men upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed in the same position with creeping. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambition often puts men upon doing the meanest offices; so climbing is performed in the same position with creeping.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To Woodrow Wilson, the apparent failure, belongs the undying honor, which will grow with the growing centuries, of having saved ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62236]]></link><description><![CDATA[To Woodrow Wilson, the apparent failure, belongs the undying honor, which will grow with the growing centuries, of having saved the "little child that shall lead them yet."

[Francis] always knew where the real miracle lay. It was not in things that happened to his body, though they were wonderful enough. It was not to be found in the fact that birds and beasts, even the wolf of Gubbio, felt the spell of his spirit. It was the radiance of light and love breaking across the darkness and hate of the world and his time. He loved lepers. He loved robbers and changed their lives. He loved beggars in their rags. He loved rich men, too, and members of the Church, who needed him as much as the robbers did. He brought Christianity out of forms and creeds and services into the open air, in action and into the movements of life. He changed the entire line of march of religion in the Western World. Brother Masseo, half jesting, asked him once why the whole world was running after him, not very comely, not very wise, not of noble birth. "Why after thee?" "God chose me," Francis answered, "because He could find no one more worthless, and He wished by me to confound the nobility and grandeur, the strength and beauty and learning of the world." But the real answer is that here at last in this wonderful man was an organ of that Spirit which was in Christ, and a marvelous transmitter of it to the world. The divine agape went out into men's lives through him. Here was a childlike lover of men, ready, if need be, to be crucified for love, but also ready in humble everyday tasks to reveal this love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Foul whisp'rings are abroad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Foul whisp'rings are abroad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either [aristocracy or monarchy].
