Therefore this great work of charity must have other motives, ends, and impulsions. I give no alms to satisfy the hunger of my brother, but to fulfil and accomplish the will and command of my God; I draw not my purse for his sake that demands it, but his that enjoined it; I relieve no man upon the rhetoric of his miseries, nor to content mine own commiserating disposition, for this is still but moral charity, and an act that oweth more to passion than reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25603]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why do grandparents and grandchildren get along so well?

After a long and fruitless search, he made a vow that, if he could only discover the thief who had stolen the Calf, he would offer a lamb in sacrifice to Hermes, Pan, and the Guardian Deities of the forest. Not long afterwards, as he ascended a small hillock, he saw at its foot a Lion feeding on the Calf. Terrified at the sight, he lifted his eyes and his hands to heaven, and said: Just now I vowed to offer a lamb to the Guardian Deities of the forest if I could only find out who had robbed me; but now that I have discovered the thief, I would willingly add a full-grown Bull to the Calf I have lost, if I may only secure my own escape from him in safety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our Lord commonly giveth Riches to such gross asses, to whom he affordeth nothing else that is good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61408]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our Lord commonly giveth Riches to such gross asses, to whom he affordeth nothing else that is good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They change their sky, not their mind, who cross the sea.

Man knows his sin, which without temptation he could never have known; for in temptation man knows on what he has set his heart. The coming to light of sin is the work of the accuser, who thereby thinks to have won the victory. But it is sin which is become manifest which can be known, and therefore forgiven. Thus the manifestation of sin belongs to the salvation plan of God with man, and Satan must serve this plan.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of James the Apostle   In the absence of so many vital points -- the spiritual understanding of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7341]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of James the Apostle   In the absence of so many vital points -- the spiritual understanding of the Law, and the consciousness of sin, the unity and all-sufficiency of Scripture, and the expectation of the Messiah -- we cannot wonder that the idea of God, as it lived in faithful Israel of old, was also obscured. Instead of the living, loving, self-manifesting God of the Old Testament Israel now took hold of the abstract idea of the unity, or rather the unicity, of God, as if that were God. Before -- when they lived in communion with God, when God was known to them as a Person, speaking, acting, blessing, who had chosen them, who was educating them, and who was going to fulfill His promises -- they declared, in opposition to the idolatrous nations that surrounded them, that this God of Israel was one God, that there are not many gods; but when they lost communion with God, in order to show what distinguished them from the nations of the earth, and especially from Christians, they emphasized that God in Himself was only one Person, and not as He is revealed to us in the Scripture: Sender, Sent, and Spirit. It is the boast of the modern Jewish synagogue that their great mission is to testify to the world the unity of God. But it is a striking fact that the Gentile nations who have, since the dispersion of Israel, been converted from idolatry, have been influenced, not by the synagogue, but by the congregations of Jesus Christ, and were baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost... It is one thing to believe in justification by faith, it is another thing to be justified by faith; and so it is one thing to believe in God, who is One, and it is another to believe in the numerical abstraction, in the mere idea of unicity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A prudent man does not make the goat his gardener. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17189]]></link><description><![CDATA[A prudent man does not make the goat his gardener.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I told her we just needed a ball into the outfield. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40953]]></link><description><![CDATA[I told her we just needed a ball into the outfield.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think of your forefathers!
