Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inactivity and deprivation of all accustomed stimulus is not rest; it is a preparation for the tomb ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Inactivity and deprivation of all accustomed stimulus is not rest; it is a preparation for the tomb]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Winter is a season of recovery and preparation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Winter is a season of recovery and preparation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hubert Humphrey talks so fast that listening to him is like trying to read Playboy magazine with your wife turning ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19540]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hubert Humphrey talks so fast that listening to him is like trying to read Playboy magazine with your wife turning the pages.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are truths that are not for all men, nor for all times. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59864]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are truths that are not for all men, nor for all times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They've got a lot of guys who can hit the home run so we've got to be ready.
