Despite their not-too-distant affinity to the Quakers, they think they will be heard for their much speaking.

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[Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65208]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39324]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a sucker born every minute. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10627]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a sucker born every minute.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If our common life is not a common course of humility, self-denial, renunciation of the world, poverty of spirit, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6928]]></link><description><![CDATA[If our common life is not a common course of humility, self-denial, renunciation of the world, poverty of spirit, and heavenly affection, we do not live the lives of Christians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is a creation of desire, not a creation of need. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11976]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is a creation of desire, not a creation of need.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can have no "50-50" allegiance in this country.
