Of course, such a way is hard and costly, but it is also joyous and rewarding even in the here-and-now. People who follow that Way know beyond all possible argument that they are in harmony with the purpose of God, that Christ is with them and in them as they set about His work in our disordered world. If anyone thinks this is perilous and revolutionary teaching, so much the better. That is exactly what they thought of the teaching of Jesus Christ. The light He brought to bear upon human affairs is almost unbearably brilliant: but it is the light of Truth, and in that light human problems can be solved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44746]]></link><description><![CDATA[Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and objectives and principles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[David's shooting about 90 percent from the free throw line. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33766]]></link><description><![CDATA[David's shooting about 90 percent from the free throw line.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6923]]></link><description><![CDATA[Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God's goodness, as if you had seen it, and all things, new-created upon your account: and under the sense of so great a blessing, let your joyful heart praise and magnify so good and glorious a Creator.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My idea of walking into the jaws of death is marrying some woman who has lost three husbands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20199]]></link><description><![CDATA[My idea of walking into the jaws of death is marrying some woman who has lost three husbands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man desires praise that he may be reassured, that he may be quit of his doubting of himself; he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27685]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man desires praise that he may be reassured, that he may be quit of his doubting of himself; he is indifferent to applause when he is confident of success. - On Doing What One Likes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We understand death for the first time when he puts his hand upon one whom we love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11326]]></link><description><![CDATA[We understand death for the first time when he puts his hand upon one whom we love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great events make me quiet and calm; it is only trifles that irritate my nerves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44389]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great events make me quiet and calm; it is only trifles that irritate my nerves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men will wrangle for religion; write for it; fight for it; die for it; anything but live for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53491]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men will wrangle for religion; write for it; fight for it; die for it; anything but live for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fighting without concert, they suffer universal defeat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51662]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fighting without concert, they suffer universal defeat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more you say, the less people remember.

But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let a man turn to his own childhood -- no further -- if he will renew his sense of remoteness, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let a man turn to his own childhood -- no further -- if he will renew his sense of remoteness, and of the mystery of change.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We two parted In silence and tears,  Half broken-hearted   To sever for years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45560]]></link><description><![CDATA[We two parted In silence and tears,  Half broken-hearted   To sever for years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more my wrong, the more his spite appears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51488]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more my wrong, the more his spite appears.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wind moans, like a long wail from some despairing soul shut out in the awful storm! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61645]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wind moans, like a long wail from some despairing soul shut out in the awful storm!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust is to human relationships what faith is to gospel living.

Neither trouble your heads though you have not commentaries and exposition. Pray and read, read and pray; for a little from God is better than a great deal from men. Also, what is from men is uncertain, and is often lost and tumbled over by men; but what is from God is fixed as a nail in a sure place. There is nothing that so abides with us as what we receive from God; and the reason why the Christians in this day are at such a loss as to some things is that they are contented with what comes from men's mouths, without searching and kneeling before God to know of Him the truth of things. Things we receive at God's hands come to us as truths from the minting house, though old in themselves, yet new to us. Old truths are always new to us if they come with the smell of Heaven upon them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're more likely to act yourself into feeling than feel yourself into action.
