The man of vision and imagination finds it difficult to see the value of those who do no more than plod on faithfully along a well-tried road. The man whose concern is in personal dealing with people and leading them to understand God better finds it difficult to be patient with the theologian or the Christian philosopher whose work is in the quiet of a book-lined study. Yet the truth is that the wholeness which God is working to achieve is never complete in an individual, but through individuals living together as one body, each supplying the deficiencies of the others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The demographics are ideal, obviously, for sponsorship groups.

But it is rather the giving up of self into the hands of God, without stint and without reserve, and letting Him set the work. It is the recognition of the fact that God has many kinds of work to be done, and that the best paid are not always the most honourable. To enter or exercise the ministry with a view to preferment is like marrying for money and not for love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever he did, was done with so much ease, In him alone 'twas natural to please. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever he did, was done with so much ease, In him alone 'twas natural to please.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The grand style arises in poetry, when a noble nature, treats with simplicity or with severity a serious subject ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42221]]></link><description><![CDATA[The grand style arises in poetry, when a noble nature, treats with simplicity or with severity a serious subject]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A very ancient and fish-like smell. -The Tempest.
