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[A few great minds are enough to endow humanity with monstrous power, but a few great hearts are not enough ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47962]]></link><description><![CDATA[A few great minds are enough to endow humanity with monstrous power, but a few great hearts are not enough to make us worthy of using it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When shall we three meet again In thunder, lightning, or in rain? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26817]]></link><description><![CDATA[When shall we three meet again In thunder, lightning, or in rain?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You do ill to praise, but worse to censure, what you do not understand ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47996]]></link><description><![CDATA[You do ill to praise, but worse to censure, what you do not understand]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10004]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With electricity supply prices at historic levels, Maine consumers cannot stand another federally imposed rate hike.
