Can you imagine "common sense" surpassing science and technology in the quest to unravel the human stress mess? In time, society will have a new measure for confirming truth. It's inside the people-not at the mercy of current scientific methodology. Let scientists facilitate discovery, but not invent your inner truth.

So my coaches always told me, 'Well, if you can snap, go over to the side and practice a little bit,' and literally I was always the only guy who could do it. So I did it in pee wee, midget, junior high school, high school, college. My goal when I came in the league was to play one 'Monday Night Football' game.

But I loved them better and better -- and still I knew how little was my love for them compared to Christ's. It is easy enough for a man to be honest and a "Good Christian" and keeper of "the moral law", when he has his own little room, his purse well filled -- when he is well shod and well fed. It is far less easy for a man who has to live from day to day, roaming from city to city, from factory to factory. It is far less easy for someone just out of jail, with nothing to wear but old down-at-the-heels shoes and a shirt in rags. All of a sudden, I understood our Lord's words: "I was in prison ... and you visited me not." All these men, lazy, outside the law, starving: these failures of all kinds -- they were dear to Christ -- they were Christ, waiting in prison for someone to lean over Him -- and if we were true Christians, we would do them every kindness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among mortals second thoughts are wisest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5384]]></link><description><![CDATA[Among mortals second thoughts are wisest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is very different now.

Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59945]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take the first step in faith.
