No amount of air-conditioning and pew-cusioning in the suburban church can cover over the hard truth that the Christian life... is a narrow way of suffering; that discipleship is costly: that, for the faithful, there is always a cross to be carried. No one can understand Christianity to its depths who comes to it to enjoy it as a pleasant weekend diversion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glass antique!

And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Philosophy is a game with objectives and no rules.

When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I prithee take the cork out of thy mouth, that I may drink thy tidings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58621]]></link><description><![CDATA[I prithee take the cork out of thy mouth, that I may drink thy tidings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No hour brings good fortune to one man without bringing misfortune to another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51626]]></link><description><![CDATA[No hour brings good fortune to one man without bringing misfortune to another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To offend and judge are distinct offices, And of opposed natures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23518]]></link><description><![CDATA[To offend and judge are distinct offices, And of opposed natures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can it be, O Christ in heaven, that the holiest suffer most, That the strongest wander furthest, and more hopelessly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58210]]></link><description><![CDATA[Can it be, O Christ in heaven, that the holiest suffer most, That the strongest wander furthest, and more hopelessly are lost?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good sense which only is the gift of Heaven, And though no science, fairly worth the seven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good sense which only is the gift of Heaven, And though no science, fairly worth the seven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each man makes his own shipwreck. [Lat., Naufragium sibi quisque facit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each man makes his own shipwreck. [Lat., Naufragium sibi quisque facit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We talk on principle, but we act on interest ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22952]]></link><description><![CDATA[We talk on principle, but we act on interest]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no justification for present existence other than its expansion into an indefinitely open future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23674]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no justification for present existence other than its expansion into an indefinitely open future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am the miracle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27548]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am the miracle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always admired Mrs. Grote's saying that politics and theology were the only two really great subjects. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3049]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always admired Mrs. Grote's saying that politics and theology were the only two really great subjects.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You two are book-men. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

In the beginning, John the Baptist had taught his disciples to expect from Christ the baptism -- not of water only, as in his baptism -- but of the Spirit. Before His death, Jesus had sought to fill His disciples' minds with the expectation of this gift... And that Spirit had come in sensible power upon them some ten days after Jesus disappeared for the last time from their eyes... And this Spirit was the Spirit of God, but also, and therefore, the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus was not then merely a past example, or a remote Lord, but an inward presence and power. A mere example in past history becomes in experience a feebler and feebler power... But the example of Jesus was something much more than a memory. For He who had taught them in the past how to live was alive in the heavenly places and was working within them by His Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to accelerate a Macintosh is at 9.8m sec sec. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9420]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to accelerate a Macintosh is at 9.8m sec sec.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's called a pen.
