He was willing to suffer and to be despised; do you dare to complain of anything? He had enemies and defamers; do you want everyone to be your friend, your benefactor?

It was perfectly dry in spite of the fact that it had been immersed in water for centuries. The same is true of many people in the Western world. For centuries they have been surrounded by Christianity; they live immersed in the waters of its benefits. And yet it has not penetrated their hearts; they do not love it. The fault is not in Christianity, but in men's hearts, which have been hardened by materialism and intellectualism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can be no great smoke arise, but there must be some fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16014]]></link><description><![CDATA[There can be no great smoke arise, but there must be some fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever the government of the United States shall break up, it will probably be in consequence of a false direction ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever the government of the United States shall break up, it will probably be in consequence of a false direction having been given to publick opinion.
