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[My dear Sir, take any road, you can't go amiss.

Here, in 1878, Engels apodictically announced that military weapons are "now so perfected that no further progress of any revolutionizing influence is any longer possible." Henceforth "all further [technological] progress is by and large indifferent for land warfare. The age of evolution is in this regard essentially closed." This complacent conclusion shows in what the achievement of the innovator consists: he accomplishes what other people believe to be unthinkable and unfeasible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our bats stayed alive today and we got the little hits when we needed them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39445]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our bats stayed alive today and we got the little hits when we needed them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The discipline you learn and character you build from setting and achieving a goal can be more valuable than the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65146]]></link><description><![CDATA[The discipline you learn and character you build from setting and achieving a goal can be more valuable than the achievement of the goal itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best is the enemy of the good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12731]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best is the enemy of the good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are the voices of the wandering wind, Which moan for rest and rest can never find;  Lo! as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24834]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are the voices of the wandering wind, Which moan for rest and rest can never find;  Lo! as the wind is so is mortal life,   A moan, a sigh, a sob, a storm, a strife.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have never advocated war except as a means of peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61186]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have never advocated war except as a means of peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Albrecht's Law: Social innovations tend to the level of minimum tolerable well being. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Albrecht's Law: Social innovations tend to the level of minimum tolerable well being.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have always tried to hide my efforts and wished my works to have a light joyousness of springtime which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63029]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have always tried to hide my efforts and wished my works to have a light joyousness of springtime which never lets anyone suspect the labors it has cost me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What should a man do but be merry?
