You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever is detected in a shameful fraud is ever after not believed even if they speak the truth ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16630]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever is detected in a shameful fraud is ever after not believed even if they speak the truth]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...no civilized society can long exist, with an active power in its bosom that is stronger than the law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47105]]></link><description><![CDATA[...no civilized society can long exist, with an active power in its bosom that is stronger than the law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are tenting tonight on the old camp ground, Give us a song to cheer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57217]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are tenting tonight on the old camp ground, Give us a song to cheer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an excellent choice ... for an organization that does extremely good work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41943]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's an excellent choice ... for an organization that does extremely good work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who all in raptures their own works rehearse, And drawl out measur'd prose, which they call verse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46853]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who all in raptures their own works rehearse, And drawl out measur'd prose, which they call verse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It would seem to favor the community colleges, to the detriment of students who would prefer to attend a university. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42513]]></link><description><![CDATA[It would seem to favor the community colleges, to the detriment of students who would prefer to attend a university.

It is the purest exercise of the faculties God has given us -- an exercise that links these faculties with the Maker to work out the intentions He had in mind in their creation. Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God...  Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment. Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you...  Prayer is communion. Prayer is a means, but often it is an end in itself. There are times when your own wants and the needs of others drop away and you want just to look on His face and tell Him how much you love Him...  Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent, that the divine compulsion is upon you...]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ideas are more powerful than guns.
