The unbeliever may take his own temperament and experience, just as they happen to stand, and consider them worth communicating simply because they are his. To the Christian his own temperament and experience, as mere fact, and as merely his, are of no value or importance whatsoever: he will deal with them, if at all, only because they are the medium through which, or the position from which, something universally profitable appeared to him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A joy that's shared is a joy made double. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23439]]></link><description><![CDATA[A joy that's shared is a joy made double.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between coarse and refined abuse is the difference between being bruised by a club and wounded by a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10803]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between coarse and refined abuse is the difference between being bruised by a club and wounded by a poisoned arrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  A great many of those about me would be imprisoned under ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8247]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  A great many of those about me would be imprisoned under any law; in France, as here, they would be regular jail-birds. But I loved them better and better -- and still I knew how little was my love for them compared to Christ's. It is easy enough for a man to be honest and a "Good Christian" and keeper of "the moral law", when he has his own little room, his purse well filled -- when he is well shod and well fed. It is far less easy for a man who has to live from day to day, roaming from city to city, from factory to factory. It is far less easy for someone just out of jail, with nothing to wear but old down-at-the-heels shoes and a shirt in rags. All of a sudden, I understood our Lord's words: "I was in prison ... and you visited me not." All these men, lazy, outside the law, starving: these failures of all kinds -- they were dear to Christ -- they were Christ, waiting in prison for someone to lean over Him -- and if we were true Christians, we would do them every kindness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The highest reward for a man's toil is not what he gets for it but what he becomes by it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54161]]></link><description><![CDATA[The highest reward for a man's toil is not what he gets for it but what he becomes by it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why comes temptation, but for man to meet and master and crouch beneath his foot, and so be pedestaled in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58936]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why comes temptation, but for man to meet and master and crouch beneath his foot, and so be pedestaled in triumph?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She was no longer wrestling with the grief, but could sit down with it as a lasting companion and make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19059]]></link><description><![CDATA[She was no longer wrestling with the grief, but could sit down with it as a lasting companion and make it a sharer in her thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My formula for living is quite simple.
