He ran home and told his Mother, saying, Although it hurts me very much, I only touched it gently. That was just why it stung you, said his Mother. The next time you touch a Nettle, grasp it boldly, and it will be soft as silk to your hand, and not in the least hurt you. Whatever you do, do with all your might.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinking to bite something soft, he found it hard.

This perhaps may seem to some a great oversight and omission. But our Lord in great wisdom thought fit to give us a pattern of a quite different sort of life, which was, not to fly the conversation of men and to live in a monastery or a wilderness, but to do good among men, to live in the world with great freedom and with great innocence. He did indeed sometimes retire himself for the more free and private exercise of devotion, as we ought to do; but he passed his life chiefly in the conversation of men, that they might have all the benefit that was possible of his instruction and example We read that "he was carried into the wilderness to be tempted," but not that he lived there to avoid temptation. He hath given us an example of denying the world without leaving it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Against diseases here the strongest fence, Is the defensive vertue, abstinence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12487]]></link><description><![CDATA[Against diseases here the strongest fence, Is the defensive vertue, abstinence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all born charming, fresh, and spontaneous and must be civilized before we are fit to participate in society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5766]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all born charming, fresh, and spontaneous and must be civilized before we are fit to participate in society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[New York is the Caoutchouc City. . . .

Our duty is to see whether God is with us; whether we expect great things from Him; whether we do not practically place Him far off, forgetting that, if He is, He is about us, speaking to us words that have not been heard before, guiding us to paths on which earlier generations have not been able to enter. There is -- most terrible thought! -- a practical atheism, orthodox in language, reverent in bearing, which can enter a Christian church and charm the conscience to rest with shadowy traditions; an atheism which grows incessantly within us if we separate what cannot be separated with impunity, the secular from the divine, the past and the future from the present, earth from heaven, the things of Caesar from the things of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It doesn't get any easier.
