Who is my true brother? We cannot always tell whether or not a man believes in Christ; but we can always ask -- Christianity is not a secret society. And if a man says he loves the Lord, why should I not treat him as my brother? If I should happen to welcome one who is only a professing Christian, who has not given his heart to Christ, what harm has it done? I will have offered the love of God to one who rejects it, and I will have given a few hours of my life to an enemy -- but our Father holds out His hands all day long to a rebellious people, and our Savior gave His life for me when I was His enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE   Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8005]]></link><description><![CDATA[THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE   Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshippers meeting together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become 'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship. Social religion is perfected when private religion is purified. The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier. The whole church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to seek a better and a higher life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fame and riches are fleeting.

As he was wandering about there he came upon aLion lying down moaning and groaning. At first he turned to flee,but finding that the Lion did not pursue him, he turned back andwent up to him. As he came near, the Lion put out his paw, whichwas all swollen and bleeding, and Androcles found that a hugethorn had got into it, and was causing all the pain. He pulledout the thorn and bound up the paw of the Lion, who was soon ableto rise and lick the hand of Androcles like a dog. Then the Liontook Androcles to his cave, and every day used to bring him meatfrom which to live. But shortly afterwards both Androcles and theLion were captured, and the slave was sentenced to be thrown tothe Lion, after the latter had been kept without food for severaldays. The Emperor and all his Court came to see the spectacle,and Androcles was led out into the middle of the arena. Soon theLion was let loose from his den, and rushed bounding and roaringtowards his victim. But as soon as he came near to Androcles herecognised his friend, and fawned upon him, and licked his handslike a friendly dog. The Emperor, surprised at this, summonedAndrocles to him, who told him the whole story. Whereupon theslave was pardoned and freed, and the Lion let loose to his nativeforest.Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There never was a woman who did not prefer an oblique compliment to a straight truth - if the latter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9260]]></link><description><![CDATA[There never was a woman who did not prefer an oblique compliment to a straight truth - if the latter were unflattering]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ocean: A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world made for man - who has no gills. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43940]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ocean: A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world made for man - who has no gills.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The effect of power and publicity on all men is the aggravation of self, a sort of tumor that ends ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52486]]></link><description><![CDATA[The effect of power and publicity on all men is the aggravation of self, a sort of tumor that ends by killing the victim's sympathies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11171]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Molly kept house for him when she was older.
