Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Devotion is not a passing emotion: it is a fixed, enduring habit of mind permeating the whole life and shaping ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7733]]></link><description><![CDATA[Devotion is not a passing emotion: it is a fixed, enduring habit of mind permeating the whole life and shaping every action. It rests upon a conviction that God is the Sole Source of Holiness, and that our part is to lean upon Him and be absolutely guided and governed by Him; and it necessitates an abiding hold on Him, a perpetual habit of listening for His Voice within the heart, as of readiness to obey the dictates of that Voice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To have properly studied the liberal sciences gives a polish to our manners, and removes all awkwardness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50794]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have properly studied the liberal sciences gives a polish to our manners, and removes all awkwardness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with baseball is that it is not played the year round. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3741]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with baseball is that it is not played the year round.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is bred in the bone will never come out of the flesh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4872]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is bred in the bone will never come out of the flesh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blue thou art, intensely blue; Flower, whence came thy dazzling hue? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17360]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blue thou art, intensely blue; Flower, whence came thy dazzling hue?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5880]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What to do if you find yourself stuck in a crack in the ground underneath a giant boulder you can't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34016]]></link><description><![CDATA[What to do if you find yourself stuck in a crack in the ground underneath a giant boulder you can't move, with no hope of rescue.

It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going, 'Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.'
