The seven works of spiritual mercy be these: teach men the truth, counsel men to hold with Christ's law, chastise sinners by moderate reproving in charity, comfort sorrowful men by Christ's passion, forgive wrongs, suffer meekly reproofs for the right of God's law, pray heartily for friend and for foe.   ... Middle English Sermons  September 6, 2001 Commemoration of Allen Gardiner, founder of the South American Missionary Society, 1851 Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer, Teacher, Physician, Missionary, 1965   Of the access for us, at any rate, to the spirit of life -- us who were born in Christendom, and are in touch, conscious or unconscious, with Christianity -- this is the true account. Questions over which the churches spend so much labour and time -- questions about the Trinity, about the godhead of Christ, about the procession of the Holy Ghost -- are not vital; what is vital is the doctrine of access to the spirit of life through Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life stands before me like an eternal spring with new and brilliant clothes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64768]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life stands before me like an eternal spring with new and brilliant clothes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There never was a woman who did not prefer an oblique compliment to a straight truth - if the latter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9260]]></link><description><![CDATA[There never was a woman who did not prefer an oblique compliment to a straight truth - if the latter were unflattering]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The De Beers brand will be at the heart of our growing jewelry activities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30094]]></link><description><![CDATA[The De Beers brand will be at the heart of our growing jewelry activities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to get a deterrent effect to let people know we don't want to do this.

One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it.

A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is but one freedom, to put oneself right with death.
