Jesus says His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can not be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow, in which no work can be done any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never give a sword to a man who can't dance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64232]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never give a sword to a man who can't dance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The clown waits for the river to run itself dry.

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep   The silent stars go by: Yet in thy dark streets shineth   The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years   Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary;   And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep   Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars together   Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing to God the King,   And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently,   The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts   The blessings of His Heav'n. No ear may hear His coming,   But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still,   The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem,   Descend to us, we pray, Cast out our sins, and enter in,   Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels   The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us,   Our Lord Emmanuel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yeah, I definitely wanted to do a kids' movie because I have a kid.

The unity we seek is deeper than anything that the world offers. Communism, Fascism, National Socialism, and even Shintoism have proved their ability to bind men together in a common enterprise with great devotion and selfsacrifice; but these are secular ideals, intermixed with selfinterest, the love of master, and the use of force. Christian Unity can only be "in Christ". It is based on the New Birth and New Life in Christ, and upon the oneness of all the members in the Christ who is the Head. Therefore, "the quest for the unity of the Church must in fact be identical with the quest for Jesus Christ as the concrete Head and Lord of the Church." (Barth) What kind of unity, then, do we ask? It must be God's kind, that for which Christ prayed, and which, therefore, must be in the line of God's purpose. Will He not then take the initiative? It is for us to wait upon Him, and to go through the gates which He opens, to cast up the highway, to gather out the stones of stumbling, to lift up the standard, and to prepare the way of the Lord. (Isa. 62:10).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Princes that would their people should do well Must at themselves begin, as at the head;  For men, by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54475]]></link><description><![CDATA[Princes that would their people should do well Must at themselves begin, as at the head;  For men, by their example, pattern out   Their limitations, and regard of laws:    A virtuous court a world to virtue draws.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Leo the Great, Bishop of Rome, 461  If we would put some slight stress on ourselves at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Leo the Great, Bishop of Rome, 461  If we would put some slight stress on ourselves at the beginning, then afterwards we should be able to do all things with ease and joy. It is a hard thing to break through a habit, and a yet harder thing to go contrary to our own will. Yet, if thou overcome not slight and easy obstacles, how wilt thou overcome greater ones? Withstand thy will at the beginning, and unlearn an evil habit, lest it lead thee little by little into worse difficulties.
