Mercy is not ordinarily held to consist in pronouncing judgment on another man's deserts, but in relieving his necessities; in giving aid to the poor, not in inquiring how good they are.  .. St. Ambrose    December 8, 1997  There is a manifest want of spiritual influence on the ministry of the present day. I feel it in my own case and I see it in that of others.

A leading defect in Christian ministers is want of a devotional habit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First things first, second things never. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3950]]></link><description><![CDATA[First things first, second things never.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more facts you tell, the more you sell.
