If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They've already proved so many things, but they always feel like they have to prove something.

Without it no church can be a New Testament church in any strict meaning of that term. But exposition may be carried on in such a way as to leave the hearers devoid of any true spiritual nourishment whatever. For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience they are not the better for having heard the truth. The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never cringe when the ball comes her way.

It is not so much that new ideas are painful, for they are not. It is that old ideas are seldom entirely false, but have truth, great truth in them. The justification for conservatism is the desire to preserve the truths and standards of the past; its dangers, of which we are seldom aware, is that in preserving those values, we may miss the infinitely greater riches that lie in the future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, the summer night Has a smile of light  And she sits on a sapphire throne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, the summer night Has a smile of light  And she sits on a sapphire throne.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man will not live without answers to his questions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52722]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man will not live without answers to his questions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One thing only has been lent to youth and age in common--discontent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12423]]></link><description><![CDATA[One thing only has been lent to youth and age in common--discontent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have two guys who are battling hard, who are in an emotional game and who drop the gloves, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33974]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have two guys who are battling hard, who are in an emotional game and who drop the gloves, to me that's a 'hockey fight,' and I have no problem with that.
