Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pool is huge here.

This is a degradation of God and of ourselves, which has pauperized us in every way over the centuries. God has no need, and if the mission is God's, then we do not ask for help to give God a boost; therefore we do not appeal for funds.

Fully persuaded that the Bible was an imposture, they were determined to expose [it]. Mr. West chose the Resurrection of Christ, and Lord Lyttleton the conversion of St Paul, for the subject of hostile criticism. Both sat down to their respective tasks full of prejudice and a contempt for Christianity. The results of their separate endeavours was that they were both converted by their attempts to overthrow the truth of Christianity! They came together, not as they had expected, to exult over an imposture exposed to ridicule, but to lament their folly and congratulate each other on their joint conviction, that the Bible was the word of God. Their able enquiries have furnished two most valuable treatises in favour of revelation -- one, entitled "Observations on the Conversion of St Paul", and the other, "Observations on the Resurrection of Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The honey is sweet, but the Bee stings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49872]]></link><description><![CDATA[The honey is sweet, but the Bee stings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we survive danger it steels our courage more than anything else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11069]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we survive danger it steels our courage more than anything else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest gift is a passion for reading.
