They never fail to help widows; they save orphans from those who would hurt them. If a man has something, he gives freely to the man who has nothing. If they see a stranger, Christians take him home and are happy, as though he were a real brother. They don't consider themselves brothers in the usual sense, but brothers instead through the Spirit, in God. And if they hear that one of them is in jail, or persecuted for professing the name of their redeemer, they all give him what he needs -- if it is possible, they bail him out. If one of them is poor and there isn't enough food to go around, they fast several days to give him the food he needs... This is really a new kind of person. There is something divine in them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All epoch-making revolutionary events have been produced not by the written, but by the spoken word ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14274]]></link><description><![CDATA[All epoch-making revolutionary events have been produced not by the written, but by the spoken word]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Misled by Fancy's meteor-ray, By passion driven;  But yet the light that led astray,   Was light from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25048]]></link><description><![CDATA[Misled by Fancy's meteor-ray, By passion driven;  But yet the light that led astray,   Was light from Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pound of idleness weighs twenty ounces. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50964]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pound of idleness weighs twenty ounces.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stolen sweets are best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59075]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stolen sweets are best.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is worst of all is to advocate Christianity, not because it is true, but because it might prove useful... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8416]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is worst of all is to advocate Christianity, not because it is true, but because it might prove useful... To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do really good together.
