Mercy is not ordinarily held to consist in pronouncing judgment on another man's deserts, but in relieving his necessities; in giving aid to the poor, not in inquiring how good they are.  .. St. Ambrose    December 8, 1997  There is a manifest want of spiritual influence on the ministry of the present day. I feel it in my own case and I see it in that of others. I am afraid there is too much of a low, managing, contriving, maneuvering temper of mind among us. We are laying ourselves out more than is expedient to meet one man's taste and another man's prejudices. The ministry is a grand and holy affair, and it should find in us a simple habit of spirit and a holy but humble indifference to all consequences. A leading defect in Christian ministers is want of a devotional habit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want people to know that this happened. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41198]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want people to know that this happened.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And I wish his soul in heaven may dwell, Who first invented this leathern bottel! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12983]]></link><description><![CDATA[And I wish his soul in heaven may dwell, Who first invented this leathern bottel!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remorse: beholding heaven and feeling hell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53797]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remorse: beholding heaven and feeling hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Away!
