But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always keep a song in your heart - it's like karaoke for the voices in your head ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57201]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always keep a song in your heart - it's like karaoke for the voices in your head]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be able to practice five things everywhere under heaven constitutes perfect virtue.

You comfort us in sorrow and bind up our wounds:  in sickness you nurse us,  and with pure milk you feed us. Jesus, by your dying we are born to new life:  by your anguish and labour we come forth in joy. Despair turns to hope through your sweet goodness:  through your gentleness we find comfort in fear. Your warmth gives life to the dead:  your touch makes sinners righteous. Lord Jesus, in your mercy heal us:  in your love and tenderness remake us. In your compassion bring grace and forgiveness:  for the beauty of heaven may your love prepare us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I\'m not hungry enough to eat six. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66856]]></link><description><![CDATA[You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I\'m not hungry enough to eat six.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The swan in the pool is singing, And up and down doth he steer,  And, singing gently ever,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58450]]></link><description><![CDATA[The swan in the pool is singing, And up and down doth he steer,  And, singing gently ever,   Dips under the water clear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57043]]></link><description><![CDATA[Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect.

Is it to be a burden to the animal which wears it? It is just the opposite: it is to make its burden light. Attached to the oxen in any other way than by a yoke, the plow would be intolerable; worked by means of a yoke, it is light. A yoke is not an instrument of torture; it is an instrument of mercy. It is not a malicious contrivance for making work hard; it is a gentle device to make hard labor light. [Christ] knew the difference between a smooth yoke and a rough one, a bad fit and a good one... The rough yoke galled, and the burden was heavy; the smooth yoke caused no pain, and the load was lightly drawn. The badly fitted harness was a misery; the well fitted collar was "easy". And what was the "burden"? It was not some special burden laid upon the Christian, some unique infliction that they alone must bear. It was what all men bear: it was simply life, human life itself, the general burden of life which all must carry with them from the cradle to the grave. Christ saw that men took life painfully. To some it was a weariness, to others failure, to many a tragedy, to all a struggle and a pain. How to carry this burden of life had been the whole world's problem. And here is Christ's solution: "Carry it as I do. Take life as I take it. Look at it from my point of view. Interpret it upon my principles. Take my yoke and learn of me, and you will find it easy. For my yoke is easy, sits right upon the shoulders, and therefore my burden is light.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never give a sucker an even break. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never give a sucker an even break.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is clever, but not dishonest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17730]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is clever, but not dishonest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of us serve our ideals by fits and starts.
