You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sinnes are not knowne till they bee acted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sinnes are not knowne till they bee acted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A journying woman speakes much of all, and all of her. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49042]]></link><description><![CDATA[A journying woman speakes much of all, and all of her.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many diseases may be cured by abstinence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48808]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many diseases may be cured by abstinence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wives in their husbands' absences grow subtler, And daughters sometimes run off with the butler. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/140]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wives in their husbands' absences grow subtler, And daughters sometimes run off with the butler.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too often in the past, Tony Blair has gone to Washington and instead of pressing the British case or British ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too often in the past, Tony Blair has gone to Washington and instead of pressing the British case or British arguments, he has effectively done what the president asked him to do and forgotten that he should be arguing Britain's corner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't believe I've ever caused all three turnovers in a game and gotten two of them.
