But once, in the heart of an angry crowd, their enthusiasm soured suddenly into a growling muttering. He applied it confidently to a man who, under the inspiration of His friendship, had broken with his sorry past and his old selfish, unclean ways, and was doing what he could to put things right. Now that, He said, is what I call a saved man. Very solemnly He tells us that on the Day of Judgement we shall not be asked the questions we are expecting, but others that will puzzle and startle us. Those folk on the left hand were, as far as we hear, respectable folk; their business books were straight, their home life was kindly, they themselves were clean-living men and women: nothing whatever is laid to their charge excepting this, that they lived in a world needing their help and were too absorbed in something -- what it was, we are not told; it may have been their souls -- to give what aid they could.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is becoming bitter, he envies man his mortality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11191]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is becoming bitter, he envies man his mortality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hallo!

Every man is to work for his living. "If a man will not work, neither let him eat." But those who cannot work are to be provided for out of the common fund.

And those who are rich and who earn more than enough to support their own families are to be willing contributors to the common fund. The love of money -- the desire to accumulate wealth -- is the root of every kind of evil. The relation of one to another is to be that of members in one body, in which, if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Witches] steal young children out of their cradles, ministerio doemonum, and put deformed in their rooms, which we call changelings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5898]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Witches] steal young children out of their cradles, ministerio doemonum, and put deformed in their rooms, which we call changelings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important function of education at any level is to develop the personality of the individual and the significance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13427]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most important function of education at any level is to develop the personality of the individual and the significance of his life to himself and to others.
