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[I believe that all government is evil, in that all government must necessarily make war on liberty, and that the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17966]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that all government is evil, in that all government must necessarily make war on liberty, and that the democratic government is at least as bad as any of the other forms]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though no one can go back and make a brand new start my friend, anyone canstart from now and make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21230]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though no one can go back and make a brand new start my friend, anyone canstart from now and make a brand new end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[However great an evil immorality may be, we must not forget that it is not without its beneficial consequences.

And one of the games to which it is most attached is called, ''Keep tomorrow dark,'' and which is also named (by the rustics in Shropshire, I have no doubt) ''Cheat the Prophet.'' The players listen very carefully and respectfully to all that the clever men have to say about what is to happen in the next generation. The players then wait until all the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely. Then they go and do something else. That is all. For a race of simple tastes, however, it is great fun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Temper is a weapon that we hold by the blade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58844]]></link><description><![CDATA[Temper is a weapon that we hold by the blade.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-o to a tree ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58820]]></link><description><![CDATA[Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-o to a tree]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody makes his path differently. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34489]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody makes his path differently.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2252]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I put a new engine in my car, but forgot to take the old one out.
