If He should now come, would He find it in us? What fruits of faith have we to show? Do we look upon this life only as a short passage to a better? Do we believe that we must suffer with Jesus Christ before we can reign with Him? Do we consider this world as a deceitful appearance, and death as the entrance to true happiness? Do we live by faith? Does it animate us? Do we relish the eternal truths it presents us with? Are we as careful to nourish our souls with those truths as to maintain our bodies with proper diet? Do we accustom ourselves to see all things in the light of faith? Do we correct all our judgements by it?  Alas! The greater part of Christians think and act like mere heathens; if we judge (as we justly may) of their faith by their practice, we must conclude they have no faith at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All our experience with history should teach us, when we look back, how badly human wisdom is betrayed when it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4167]]></link><description><![CDATA[All our experience with history should teach us, when we look back, how badly human wisdom is betrayed when it relies on itself]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thank thee, Jew, for teaching me that word. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51417]]></link><description><![CDATA[I thank thee, Jew, for teaching me that word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A vice is a failure of desire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60504]]></link><description><![CDATA[A vice is a failure of desire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a cold winter Sunday afternoon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4626]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was a cold winter Sunday afternoon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One's real life is so often the life that one does not lead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15309]]></link><description><![CDATA[One's real life is so often the life that one does not lead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,And breathed in the face of the foe as he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25300]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,And breathed in the face of the foe as he pass'd;And the eyes of the sleepers wax'd deadly and chill,And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still! - Destruction of Sennacherib, The.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever God erects a house of prayer The devil always builds a chapel there;  And 'twill be found, upon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8673]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever God erects a house of prayer The devil always builds a chapel there;  And 'twill be found, upon examination,   The latter has the largest congregation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of George, Martyr, Patron of England, c.304 Commemoration of Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1988  I do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of George, Martyr, Patron of England, c.304 Commemoration of Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1988  I do a great wrong in His sight, when I beseech Him that He will hear my prayer, which as I give utterance to it I do not hear myself.

He reaches out to foreigners who are beyond the borders of the "Israel of God". He seeks the release of captives, prisoners, and slaves. He denounces the scribes and religious leaders who "devour the houses of widows". Despite his well-known requirement of loyalty that surpasses family ties, he insists that a man put the care of his own parents ahead of his obligations to his religion. His treatment of women is radically opposed to the strictures of that day. He exhibits sympathy and understanding toward children. He operates an out-patient clinic wherever he happens to be. He insists upon justice as the basis for everyday dealings between citizens. The social teaching of parables like "the good Samaritan" and incidents such as the encounter with the rich young ruler have had an effect upon his followers that cannot easily be measured. If one summary statement of Jesus' ethics can be made, it is that love of God is best shown by love of fellow men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's still low interest rates, and we're a good buy here in Houston. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40995]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it's still low interest rates, and we're a good buy here in Houston.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's why men need instant replays in sports.
