Though there was a little superstition in this, yet truly there is nothing but good religion in it, if we apply it to men. Trample not on any; there may be some work of grace there, that thou knowest not of. The name of God may be written upon that soul thou treadest on; it may be a soul that Christ thought so much of, as to give His precious blood for it; therefore despise it not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Help thi kynne, Crist bit (biddeth), for ther bygynneth charitie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Help thi kynne, Crist bit (biddeth), for ther bygynneth charitie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[New Orleans is the soul of the country.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon August 4, 2000 Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859   Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.   ... William Barclay, The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, Introduction  August 5, 2000 Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642   Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who sees the calamity of other people finds his own calamity light ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12382]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who sees the calamity of other people finds his own calamity light]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are just very fortunate that, here in Minnesota, we have the greatest researchers and doctors working on this.

Study the advertisements in any popular magazine: people are "invited to apply for membership"; "members will receive a catalogue"; they are even offered "rules", which they gladly accept because the need for authority lies heavily upon them; they then receive a card admitting them to the circle, with the "President's signature" printed on it. In the need for belonging, the acknowledgement of dependence, may lie the greatest opportunity of the Christian evangelist. It is not unlike the conditions under which the early Church worked. In the later Roman Empire, crumbling under its own size, its communications and resources stretched to the utmost, the mystery-religions came into their own. Rites of initiation, the sharing of secret knowledge, offered to people of all classes an escape from the perplexities of life, a retreat into a closed circle of the elect where they might feel that their transformed personalities had some significance. Who can know how many weary souls there were who strayed into the Church through rumours of a secret rite of purification, of a shared meal that conferred wisdom, and who remained to comprehend the fullness of the Godhead, a belonging greater than they had ever imagined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wage hike is very hard to take away, but bonuses and profit-sharing can disappear very quickly in hard times...More ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22582]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wage hike is very hard to take away, but bonuses and profit-sharing can disappear very quickly in hard times...More people are realizing that bonuses look like raises, but really aren't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acting is a total physical, emotional sensation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29602]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acting is a total physical, emotional sensation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men stand like solitary towers in the city of God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18266]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great men stand like solitary towers in the city of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So cowards fight when they can fly no further; So doves do peck the falcon's piercing talons;  So desperate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10500]]></link><description><![CDATA[So cowards fight when they can fly no further; So doves do peck the falcon's piercing talons;  So desperate thieves, all hopeless of their lives,   Breathe out invectives 'gainst the officers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Little strokes fell great oaks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59709]]></link><description><![CDATA[Little strokes fell great oaks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can have a set list and program the whole show, ... but if it's not working, it's not working. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29964]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can have a set list and program the whole show, ... but if it's not working, it's not working.
