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[The only sure thing about luck is that it will change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26041]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only sure thing about luck is that it will change.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63649]]></link><description><![CDATA[We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coolest f-word ever deserves a fucking shout!

Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I came to live in a country I love; some people label me a defector.
