The worst thing a book can do for a Christian is to leave him with the impression that he has received from it anything really good; the best it can do is to point the way to the Good he is seeking. The function of a good book is to stand like a signpost directing the reader toward the Truth and the Life. That book serves best which early makes itself unnecessary, just as a signpost serves best after it is forgotten, after the traveler has arrived safely at his desired haven. The work of a good book is to incite the reader to moral action, to turn his eves toward God and urge him forward. Beyond that it cannot go.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In an evil hour thou bring'st her home.

When Jesus laid the duty of petition upon his disciples, He went on to assert the reasonableness of man's asking and God's answering. Jesus argues along the line of reason that, if an earthly parent does the best in his power for his children, ... the Almighty and All-Wise Love, of which human love is only the shadow, will do better still for His great family; and therefore our Master teaches that men ought everywhere to pray, without fear, with hope, and without doubt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No barber shaves so close but another finds worke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49647]]></link><description><![CDATA[No barber shaves so close but another finds worke.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Which is worse? the wolf who cries beforeeating the lamb or the wolf who does not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4355]]></link><description><![CDATA[Which is worse? the wolf who cries beforeeating the lamb or the wolf who does not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst thing about being a tourist is having other tourists recognize you as a tourist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59499]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst thing about being a tourist is having other tourists recognize you as a tourist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is an aptitude of the spirit.
