It was no use preaching the gospel only to those who came to church to hear it. The gospel ought to be preached to those who didn't want to hear it as well: to industrialists in their offices, to clubmen in their windows, to workers in their yards and factories, to bibbers in their taverns, to harlots in their doorways, to all those should the sweet tidings of Christ be taught. It was a sorry matter for reflection that it was only heretics who dared to brave the sneers of the mob by crying aloud the Name of Jesus at street corners and in the market place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be a man's own fool is bad enough; but the vain man is everybody's. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16192]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be a man's own fool is bad enough; but the vain man is everybody's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty, many souls must be trampled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63571]]></link><description><![CDATA[For every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty, many souls must be trampled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habit is either the best of servants or the worst of masters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22067]]></link><description><![CDATA[Habit is either the best of servants or the worst of masters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A penny spar'd is twice got. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49065]]></link><description><![CDATA[A penny spar'd is twice got.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have two bites at the local apple before you have to go to court, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41596]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have two bites at the local apple before you have to go to court,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful than that of a continual walk ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7508]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful than that of a continual walk with God.

And again, in any prosperity of ourselves or others, we must not omit to testify our recognition of God's hand by praise and thanksgiving. Lastly, we must in all our prayers carefully avoid wishing to confine God to certain circumstances, or prescribe to him the time, place, or mode of action. In like manner, we are taught by [the Lord's] prayer not to fix any law or impose any condition upon him, but leave it entirely to him to adopt whatever course of procedure seems to him best, in respect of method, time, and place. For, before we offer up any petition for ourselves, we ask that his will may be done, and by so doing place our will in subordination to his, just as if we had laid a curb upon it, that, instead of presuming to give law to God, it may regard him as the ruler and disposer of all its wishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judaism lives not in an abstract creed, but in its institutions ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30111]]></link><description><![CDATA[Judaism lives not in an abstract creed, but in its institutions]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's all kinds of things happening.

She not only abstained from beating him, but encouraged him. He next time stole a cloak and brought it to her, and she again commended him. The Youth, advanced to adulthood, proceeded to steal things of still greater value. At last he was caught in the very act, and having his hands bound behind him, was led away to the place of public execution. His Mother followed in the crowd and violently beat her breast in sorrow, whereupon the young man said, I wish to say something to my Mother in her ear. She came close to him, and he quickly seized her ear with his teeth and bit it off. The Mother upbraided him as an unnatural child, whereon he replied, Ah! if you had beaten me when I first stole and brought to you that lesson-book, I should not have come to this, nor have been thus led to a disgraceful death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From small beginnings come great things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3942]]></link><description><![CDATA[From small beginnings come great things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bill . . . called a guy who was a towering figure and he totally defanged him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33259]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bill . . . called a guy who was a towering figure and he totally defanged him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics and the pulpit are terms that have little agreement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics and the pulpit are terms that have little agreement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the tear that is wiped with a little address, May be follow'd perhaps by a smile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58794]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the tear that is wiped with a little address, May be follow'd perhaps by a smile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The engine of my car blew up.
