When, unarmed and defenseless, He said to the Roman power, "My Kingdom is not of this world," He spoke the word of inauguration. Over the kingdom of the elemental forces, over the kingdom of the animal, over the kingdom of the intellect, He beheld rising, with Himself as prophet and embodiment, that kingdom of the spiritual whose forces should be those of purity and sacrifice, love and trust, obedience and service. It is the last of the kingdoms because it is the highest; it will be the most enduring for there is nothing that can take its place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't complain about the snow on your neighbor's roof when your owndoorstep is unclean. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22735]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't complain about the snow on your neighbor's roof when your owndoorstep is unclean.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Champagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12891]]></link><description><![CDATA[Champagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it be honor in your wars to seem The same you are not,--which, for your best ends,  You ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9122]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it be honor in your wars to seem The same you are not,--which, for your best ends,  You adopt your policy--how is it less or worse,   That it shall hold companionship in peace    With honour, as in war: since that to both     It stands in like request?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In my 26 years I haven't run into a baby who was rolled over on in bed, or who suffocated ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33572]]></link><description><![CDATA[In my 26 years I haven't run into a baby who was rolled over on in bed, or who suffocated next to mom.

Neither canst thou be delivered or eased by any remedy or comfort; but so long as it pleaseth God, thou oughtest to bear it. For God will have thee learn to suffer tribulation without comfort, and that thou subject thyself wholly to Him, and by tribulation become more humble. No man hath so cordial a feeling of the Passion of Christ, as he that hath suffered the like himself. The Cross therefore is always ready, and everywhere waits for thee. Thou canst not escape it, whithersoever thou runnest; for wheresoever thou goest, thou carriest thyself with thee, and shalt ever find thyself. Both above and below, without and within, which way so ever thou dost turn thee, everywhere thou shalt find the Cross; and everywhere of necessity thou must hold fast patience, if thou wilt have inward peace, and enjoy an everlasting crown.  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ June 8, 1996 Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  The charm of the words of great men, those grand sayings which are recognized as true as soon as heard, is this, that you recognize them as wisdom which has passed across your own mind. You feel that they are your own thoughts come back to you, else you would not at once admit them. "All of that has floated across me before, only I could not say it, and did not feel confident enough to assert it: or had not conviction enough to put it into words." Yes, God spoke to you what He did to them: only, they believed it, said it, trusted the Word within them; and you did not. Be sure that often when you say, "It is only my own poor thought, and I am alone," the real correcting thought is this: "Alone, but the Father is with me, and therefore I can live that lonely conviction.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no reason we're out on the street today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29618]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no reason we're out on the street today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29618</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[A young person, to achieve, must first get out of his mind any notion either of the ease or rapidity ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1150]]></link><description><![CDATA[A young person, to achieve, must first get out of his mind any notion either of the ease or rapidity of success.
