Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment; for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A century or so since, they spoke of sharing our Lord with the heathen, and the world rocked with laughter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7939]]></link><description><![CDATA[A century or so since, they spoke of sharing our Lord with the heathen, and the world rocked with laughter at so crazy a scheme, with the Church joining loudly in the merriment.

She not only abstained from beating him, but encouraged him. He next time stole a cloak and brought it to her, and she again commended him. The Youth, advanced to adulthood, proceeded to steal things of still greater value. At last he was caught in the very act, and having his hands bound behind him, was led away to the place of public execution. His Mother followed in the crowd and violently beat her breast in sorrow, whereupon the young man said, I wish to say something to my Mother in her ear. She came close to him, and he quickly seized her ear with his teeth and bit it off. The Mother upbraided him as an unnatural child, whereon he replied, Ah! if you had beaten me when I first stole and brought to you that lesson-book, I should not have come to this, nor have been thus led to a disgraceful death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is as reasonable to suppose it the desire of all Christians to arrive at Christian perfection as to suppose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7119]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is as reasonable to suppose it the desire of all Christians to arrive at Christian perfection as to suppose that all sick men desire to be restored to perfect health; yet experience shows us, that nothing wants more to be pressed, repeated, and forced upon our minds, than the plainest rules of Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["What means this glory round our feet," The Magi mused, "more bright than morn!"  And voices chanted clear and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8638]]></link><description><![CDATA["What means this glory round our feet," The Magi mused, "more bright than morn!"  And voices chanted clear and sweet,   "To-day the Prince of Peace is born."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was pretty pleased with the way we responded to being down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35027]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was pretty pleased with the way we responded to being down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to learn the rules of the game.
