We shrink from the consequences of truth. We look round and cling dependently. We ask what men will think; what others will say; whether they will not stare in astonishment. Perhaps they will; but he who is calculating that, will accomplish nothing in this life. The Father -- the Father which is with us and in us -- what does He think? God's work cannot be done without a spirit of independence. A man is got some way in the Christian life when he has learned to say, humbly yet majestically, "I dare to be alone.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indu'd With sanctity of reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53101]]></link><description><![CDATA[Indu'd With sanctity of reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I sweat.

The shortest possible description of a Christian -- a description with which the New Testament would fully agree -- is that a Christian is a person who can say: "For me Jesus Christ is Lord." Herbert Butterfield's words about facing the future are good: "Hold to Christ, and for the rest be totally uncommitted." Any alleged conversion which does not leave one totally committed solely to Jesus Christ is incomplete and imperfect. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In action a great heart is the chief qualification.

The next day it snowed very hard, so that he could not take the herd to their usual feeding places, but was obliged to keep them in the fold. He gave his own goats just sufficient food to keep them alive, but fed the strangers more abundantly in the hope of enticing them to stay with him and of making them his own. When the thaw set in, he led them all out to feed, and the Wild Goats scampered away as fast as they could to the mountains. The Goatherd scolded them for their ingratitude in leaving him, when during the storm he had taken more care of them than of his own herd. One of them, turning about, said to him: That is the very reason why we are so cautious; for if you yesterday treated us better than the Goats you have had so long, it is plain also that if others came after us, you would in the same manner prefer them to ourselves. Old friends cannot with impunity be sacrificed for new ones.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Medicine sometimes snatches away health, sometimes gives it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26669]]></link><description><![CDATA[Medicine sometimes snatches away health, sometimes gives it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To see the right and not to do it is cowardice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10467]]></link><description><![CDATA[To see the right and not to do it is cowardice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rich man's sons inherits cares; The bank may break, the factory burn,  A breath may burst his bubble ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61407]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rich man's sons inherits cares; The bank may break, the factory burn,  A breath may burst his bubble shares,   And soft, white hands could hardly earn    A living that would serve his turn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life can only be understood back- wards; but it must be lived forwards. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24858]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life can only be understood back- wards; but it must be lived forwards.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nakedness of the indigent world may be clothed from the trimmings of the vain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2733]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nakedness of the indigent world may be clothed from the trimmings of the vain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, well has it been said, that there is no grief like the grief which does not speak! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, well has it been said, that there is no grief like the grief which does not speak!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every tear has a smile behind it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every tear has a smile behind it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Chad, Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary, 672  Peace comes when there is no cloud between ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Chad, Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary, 672  Peace comes when there is no cloud between us and God.
