If they follow Jesus, men escape from the hard yoke of their own laws, and submit to the kindly yoke of Jesus Christ. But does this mean that we can ignore the seriousness of His command? Far from it! We can only achieve perfect liberty and enjoy fellowship with Jesus when His command, His call to absolute discipleship, is appreciated in its entirety. Only the man who follows the command of Jesus without reserve, and submits unresistingly to His yoke, finds his burden easy, and under its gentle pressure receives the power to persevere in the right way. The command of Jesus is hard -- unutterably hard -- for those who try to resist it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each day can be one of triumph if you keep up your interests. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each day can be one of triumph if you keep up your interests.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no jollitie but hath a smack of folly. [There is no jollity but hath a smack of folly.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49956]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no jollitie but hath a smack of folly. [There is no jollity but hath a smack of folly.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How many inner resources one needs to tolerate a life of leisure without fatigue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4458]]></link><description><![CDATA[How many inner resources one needs to tolerate a life of leisure without fatigue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If automobiles had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3544]]></link><description><![CDATA[If automobiles had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.

Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are not in fashion, you are nobody. - "Letter to his son", April 30, 1750. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2855]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are not in fashion, you are nobody. - "Letter to his son", April 30, 1750.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Toughness played a much bigger role on those teams.
