A very ordinary thing acquires a new value, if it has been possessed by some famous person. In any museum we will find quite ordinary things--clothes, a walking-stick, a pen, pieces of furniture--which are only of value because they were possessed and used by some great person. It is the ownership which gives them worth. It is so with the Christian. The Christian may be a very ordinary person, but he acquires a new value and dignity and greatness because he belongs to God. The greatness of the Christian lies in the fact that he is God's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer.

Jesus says that 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/8089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seduction is always more singular and sublime than sex and it commands the higher price ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55046]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seduction is always more singular and sublime than sex and it commands the higher price]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scarce one tall frigate walks the sea Or skirts the safer shores  Of all that bore to victory  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44022]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scarce one tall frigate walks the sea Or skirts the safer shores  Of all that bore to victory   Our stout old Commodores.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though I am not naturally honest, I am so sometimes by chance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19681]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though I am not naturally honest, I am so sometimes by chance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way to virtually eliminate genocide and mass murder appears to be through restricting and checking power.
