But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can do anything you want me to do so long as I don't have to speak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56226]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can do anything you want me to do so long as I don't have to speak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neither have I said we have got to do this because of some pharmaceutical advantage there may or may not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33235]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neither have I said we have got to do this because of some pharmaceutical advantage there may or may not be.

It is astonishing how a commandment so simple and distinct, and how a duty which you would have imagined would be eagerly greeted by the impulse of gratitude, of affection, and of compassion, was forgotten for so long a time, in the churches of the Reformation especially. Now we are accustomed to hear of mission work among the heathen nations, and to find that a great multitude of people are interested in it, and regard it with respect; but it was only at the commencement of the last century, and with great difficulty, [that] the attention of the Church was roused to this important duty; and even in the... Church of Scotland there were a number of ministers who thought that the state of heathenism was so utterly corrupt, and that there was so much to be done in our own country, that it was altogether a Utopian project to think of converting the idolaters, and that it was not our imperative duty to trouble ourselves with their wretched condition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be brave enough to live life creatively.

When I was a child, bishops expressed doubts about the Resurrection, and were called courageous. When I was a girl, G. K. Chesterton professed belief in the Resurrection, and was called whimsical. When I was at college, thoughtful people expressed belief in the Resurrection "in a spiritual sense", and were called advanced; (any other kind of belief was called obsolete, and its professors were held to be simpleminded). When I was middle-aged, a number of lay persons, including some poets and writers of popular fiction, put forward rational arguments for the Resurrection, and were called courageous. Today, any lay apologist for Christianity... whose works are sold and read, is liable to be abused in no uncertain terms as a mountebank, a reactionary, a tool of the Inquisition, a spiritual snob, an intellectual bully, an escapist, an obstructionist, a psychopathic introvert, an insensitive extrovert, and an enemy of society. The charges are not always mutually compatible, but the common animus behind them is unmistakable, and its name is fear. Writers who attack these domineering Christians are called courageous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fool always finds a greater fool to admire him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/628]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fool always finds a greater fool to admire him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man, it seems unfair that He did not also ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40223]]></link><description><![CDATA[In view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man, it seems unfair that He did not also limit his stupidity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want a place in the sun, you've got to put up with a few blisters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63578]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want a place in the sun, you've got to put up with a few blisters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Logic is in the eye of the logician. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Logic is in the eye of the logician.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind".

This is the one only band of union betwixt God and the creature... Here the necessity is absolute; nothing will do instead of this will; all contrivances of holiness, all forms of religious piety, signify nothing without this will to all goodness. For as the will to all goodness is the whole nature of God, so it must be the whole nature of every service of religion that can be acceptable to him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every normal person, in fact, is only normal on the average.

When the church finds its members falling into gross and scandalous sins, then it is time for the church to awake and cry to God for a Revival of Religion. When such things are taking place as give enemies of religion an occasion for reproach, it is time for the church to ask God, "What will become of Thy great name?"  5. When there is a spirit of controversy in the church or in the land, a revival is needful. The spirit of religion is not the spirit of controversy. There can be no prosperity in religion, where the spirit of controversy prevails.  6. When the wicked triumph over the church, and revile them, it is time to seek for a Revival of Religion.  7. When sinners are careless and stupid, and sinking into hell unconcerned, it is time the church should bestir themselves. It is as much the duty of the church to awake, as it is for the firemen to awake when a fire breaks out in the night in a great city. The church ought to put out the fires of hell which are laying hold of the wicked. Sleep! Should the firemen sleep, and let the whole city burn down, what would be thought of such firemen? And yet their guilt would not compare with the guilt of Christians who sleep while sinners around them are sinking stupid into the fires of hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The baby figure of the giant mass Of things to come. -Troilus and Cressida.
