For verily it is not deep words that make a man holy and upright; it is a good life which maketh a man dear to God. I had rather feel contrition than be skillful in the definition thereof. If thou knewest the whole Bible, and the sayings of all the philosophers, what should this profit thee without the love and grace of God?  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ April 11, 1996 Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878  When an unskillful servant gathers many herbs, flowers, and seeds in a garden, you gather them out that are useful, and cast the rest out of sight; so Christ deals with our performances. All the ingredients of self that are in them He takes away, and adds incense to what remains, and presents it to God. This is the cause that the saints at the last day, when they meet their own duties and performances, know them not, they are so changed from what they were when they went out of their hand. "Lord, when saw we Thee naked or hungry?" So God accepts a little, and Christ makes our little a great deal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who laughs, lasts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20109]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who laughs, lasts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was no discernible impact on guest service at our resorts.

Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All weddings, except those with shotguns in evidence, are wonderful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61493]]></link><description><![CDATA[All weddings, except those with shotguns in evidence, are wonderful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're seeing a lot of these. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34395]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're seeing a lot of these.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Tut, tut, child," said the Duchess.
