I have no hesitation in answering, Yes, it can, and it must. St. Paul wrote, "The very spring of our actions is the love of Christ. We look at it this way: if one died for all men, then in a sense, they all died; and his purpose in dying for them is that their lives should now be no longer lived for themselves but for Him who died and rose again for them." There is the motive. Can anyone doubt that St. Paul's ministry was fruitful -- in wisdom, in Christ-like character, in testimony to the power of the Spirit of Christ -- or effective -- in conversions, in churches planted, in men raised up to carry on the work? Yet St. Paul spent long hours working with his hands to support himself. He served Christ, therefore, as an "amateur". Dare we say he was not really a "full time" worker? Or was he not really "unpaid"?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, who can hold a fire in his hand By thinking on the frosty Caucasus?

They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard; Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. -As You Like It. Act ii. Sc. 7.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9460]]></link><description><![CDATA[The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or near relation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After thirty, a body has a mind of its own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1856]]></link><description><![CDATA[After thirty, a body has a mind of its own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most valuable things in life are not measured in monetary terms.
