We are to go into the world and so to live our ordinary lives that, all unconsciously to us, those among whom we move will look at us again, and will begin to say, You know I used to doubt if there was much in Christianity save talk. But I have revised my opinion. There's So-and-so (that's you, you understand), that is a man in whom the thing is obviously working out. He used to be so touchy, so opinionative, so mean and shabby in his views, so dully ordinary. Yet now, undoubtedly, the man has won to self-control and a large generous mind, and -- yea, I know it's a queer thing to say -- but he has won to something more, something that somehow (though he never speaks about those things) makes you remember Jesus Christ!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't learn to do it well, learn to enjoy doing it badly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can't learn to do it well, learn to enjoy doing it badly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no vice so simple but assumes Some mark of virtue in his outward parts. -The Merchant of Venice. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55592]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no vice so simple but assumes Some mark of virtue in his outward parts. -The Merchant of Venice.

She smiled, and said: I know full well, my son, that all you say is true. I have the advantages you mention, but when I hear even the bark of a single dog I feel ready to faint, and fly away as fast as I can. No arguments will give courage to the coward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If temptation were really what natural man and moral man understand by it, namely, testing of their own strength -- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8614]]></link><description><![CDATA[If temptation were really what natural man and moral man understand by it, namely, testing of their own strength -- whether their vital or their moral or even their Christian strength -- in resistance, on the enemy, then it is true that Christ's prayer would be incomprehensible. For that life is won only from death and the good only from the evil is a piece of thoroughly worldly knowledge which is not strange to the Christian. But all this has nothing to do with the temptation of which Christ speaks. It simply does not touch the reality which is meant here. The temptation of which the whole Bible speaks does not have to do with the testing of my strength, for it is of the very essence of temptation in the Bible that all my strength -- to my horror, and without my being able to do anything about it -- is turned against me; really all my powers, including my good and pious powers (the strength of my faith), fall into the hands of the enemy power and are now led into the field against me. Before there can be any testing of my powers, I have been robbed of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's been pretty consistent.
