I bargain for nothing. I make no terms. I seek for no previous information whither Thou art taking me. I will be what Thou wilt make me, and all that Thou wilt make me. I say not, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest, for I am weak, but I give myself to Thee, to lead me anywhither.   ... John Henry Newman  September 10, 2000   Evangelism is not an option for the Christian life.   ... Luis Palau  September 11, 2000   Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle [Samoa]... Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not be, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.   ... Robert Louis Stevenson  September 12, 2000   Devotion is the real spiritual sweetness which takes away all bitterness from mortifications, and prevents consolations from disagreeing with the soul; it cures the poor of sadness, and the rich of presumption; it keeps the oppressed from feeling desolate, and the prosperous from insolence: it averts sadness from the lonely, and dissipation from social life; it is as warmth in winter and as refreshing dew in summer; it knows how to abound and how to suffer want, how to profit alike by honour and by contempt; it accepts gladness and sadness with an even mind, and fills men's hearts with a wondrous sweetness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We continue to have ongoing dialogue with both representatives.

These paintings, these poems, and these demonstrations... are the expression of men who are struggling with their appalling lostness. Dare we laugh at such things? Dare we feel superior when we view their tortured expressions in their art? Christians should stop laughing and take such men seriously. Then we shall have the right to speak again to our generation. These men are dying while they live, yet where is our compassion for them? There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or without compassion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you're safe at home you wish you were having an adventure; when you're having an adventure you wish you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54638]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you're safe at home you wish you were having an adventure; when you're having an adventure you wish you were safe at home]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it be true that good wine needs no bush, 'tis true that a good play needs no epilogue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/437]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it be true that good wine needs no bush, 'tis true that a good play needs no epilogue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much as we may wish to make a new beginning, some part of us resists doing so as though we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21630]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much as we may wish to make a new beginning, some part of us resists doing so as though we were making the first step toward disaster.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ash Wednesday Beginning a short series on forgiveness:   Turn your eyes full upon yourselves, and see if you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6768]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ash Wednesday Beginning a short series on forgiveness:   Turn your eyes full upon yourselves, and see if you cannot discover the same fault [that you would judge in another] in yourselves, either in times past or now-a-days. And, if you find it, remember how that it is God's appointing that you shall now behold this sin in another, in order that you may be brought to acknowledge and repent of it; and amend your ways and pray for your brother, that God may grant him repentance and amendment according to His Divine Will. Thus a good heart draws amendment from the sins of others, and is guarded from all harsh judgment and wrath, and preserves an even temper; while an evil heart puts the worst interpretation on all that it sees, and turns it to its own hurt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Golf is a good walk spoiled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57761]]></link><description><![CDATA[Golf is a good walk spoiled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Rolle of Hampole, Writer, Hermit, Mystic, 1349   The Christian is the real radical of our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6864]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Rolle of Hampole, Writer, Hermit, Mystic, 1349   The Christian is the real radical of our generation, for he stands against the monolithic, modern concept of truth as relative. But too often, instead of being the radical, standing against the shifting sands of relativism, he subsides into merely maintaing the status quo. If it is true that evil is evil, that God hates it to the point of the cross, and that there is a moral law fixed in what God is in Himself, then Christians should be the first into the field against what is wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him.

It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is being married to your best friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18676]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is being married to your best friend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's amazing how much "mature wisdom" resembles being too tired. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52416]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's amazing how much "mature wisdom" resembles being too tired.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more productive people are, the more governments can tax and confiscate.
