I love riches because they afford me the means of helping the very poor. I keep faith with everybody; I do not render evil to those who wrong me, but I wish them a situation like mine, in which I receive neither good nor evil from men. I try to be just, true, sincere, and faithful to all men; I have a tender heart for those to whom God has more closely united me; and whether I am alone, or seen by people, I do all my actions in the sight of God, who must judge them, and to whom I have consecrated them all. These are my sentiments; and every day of my life, I bless my Redeemer, who has implanted them in me, and who, out of a man full of weakness, of miseries, of lust, of pride, and of ambition, has made a man free from all these evils by the power of His grace, to which all the glory of it is due, as of myself I have only misery and error.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some village Hampden, that, with dauntless breast, The little tyrant of his fields withstood,  Some mute inglorious Milton here ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18221]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some village Hampden, that, with dauntless breast, The little tyrant of his fields withstood,  Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest,   Some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vulgarity is more obvious in satin than in homespun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61053]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vulgarity is more obvious in satin than in homespun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dark Error's other hidden side is truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14161]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dark Error's other hidden side is truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the true joy of life, the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23450]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the true joy of life, the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clot of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

Any attempts to hide behind the excuse that it is too difficult, when what we mean is that its word is too hard for us to bear, meets the just remark of a pastor from Communist Germany: "How can they say that the Bible is difficult, when young Communists are poring over much more difficult and much more technical literature to discover what Communism is all about?" Sometimes the Biblical teaching is crystal-clear, but we dare not understand it. The Christian Church has a vested interest in its present forms, and Christian people, like others, have their pleasant prejudices. This unwillingness to hear some new thing, except in times of great disturbance, plays a bigger part in weakening the voice of God through the Bible than we are prepared to admit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habit had made the custom. [Lat., Morem fecerat usus.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Habit had made the custom. [Lat., Morem fecerat usus.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13365]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's pretty brazen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31848]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's pretty brazen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't be happy where you are, it's a cinch you can't be happywhere you ain't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21810]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can't be happy where you are, it's a cinch you can't be happywhere you ain't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When people get married because they think it's a long-time love affair, they'll be divorced very soon, because all love ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12604]]></link><description><![CDATA[When people get married because they think it's a long-time love affair, they'll be divorced very soon, because all love affairs end in disappointment.

Repeatedly, the light has shone forth in the darkness, held aloft by hands that perished in the destruction of the institution that failed. Christians tend to defend the institution of their own creation with tenacity. It is institutional Christianity that has often shackled the Church... Many of the missionary institutions of the Church are expendable. They should always be treated as expendable.  ... Leonard M. Outerbridge, The Lost Churches of China July 24, 1996 Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  Men stand much upon the title of 'orthodox', by which is usually understood, not believing the doctrine of Christ or His apostles, but such opinions as are in vogue among such a party, such systems of divinity as have been compiled in haste by those whom we have in admiration; and whatever is not consonant to these little bodies of divinity, tho' possibly it agree well enough with the Word of God, is error and heresy; and whoever maintains it can hardly pass for a Christian among some angry and perverse people. I do not intend to plead for any error, but I would not have Christianity chiefly measured by matters of opinion. I know no such error and heresy as a wicked life... Of the two, I have more hopes of him that denies the divinity of Christ and lives otherwise soberly and righteously and godly in the world, than of the man who owns Christ to be the Son of God and lives like a child of the devil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who influences the thoughts of his times, influences all the times that follow.
