He had many, but His favourite was to their chivalry and valour. Often He underlines the difficulties of discipleship, warns us what it will cost, that it means risk and loss and sacrifice, and pulling hard against fierce currents; and then He turns and looks at us, with that honouring trust of His in us that sets the blood tingling and makes the cheeks flush with pride. That, He says quietly, is why I am so sure that you will come: you are too big to keep out of it! And, indeed, in His own day, it was only daring and adventurous spirits who would risk declaring for Him, as it is only daring and adventurous spirits still who have the pluck to try to follow so original and unpopular a Master in the real living-out of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learne weeping, and thou shalt laugh gayning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learne weeping, and thou shalt laugh gayning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Twixt kings and tyrans there's this difference known: Kings seek their subjects' good, tyrants their owne. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59966]]></link><description><![CDATA['Twixt kings and tyrans there's this difference known: Kings seek their subjects' good, tyrants their owne.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For Americans war is almost all of the time a nuisance, and military skill is a luxury like Mah-Jongg.

I reply, What if God does not care to have you know it at second-hand? What if there would be no good in that? There is some testimony on record, and perhaps there might be much more were it not that, having to do with things so immediately personal, and generally so delicate, answers to prayer would naturally not often be talked about; but no testimony concerning the thing can well be conclusive; for, like a reported miracle, there is always some way to daff it; and besides, the conviction to be got that way is of little value: it avails nothing to know the thing by the best of evidence... `But if God is so good as you represent Him, and if He knows all that we need, and better far than we do ourselves, why should it be necessary to ask Him for anything?" In answer, What if He knows prayer to be the thing we need first and most? What if the main object in God's idea of prayer be the supplying of our great, our endless need -- the need of Himself?
