A very ordinary thing acquires a new value, if it has been possessed by some famous person. In any museum we will find quite ordinary things--clothes, a walking-stick, a pen, pieces of furniture--which are only of value because they were possessed and used by some great person. It is the ownership which gives them worth. It is so with the Christian. The Christian may be a very ordinary person, but he acquires a new value and dignity and greatness because he belongs to God.

In our eyes, the job is not yet done; and such an action would be, though we would not put it so, an interference. But suppose our hope rests in the purpose of God: then we safely leave the timing of the earthly experiment to Him. Meanwhile, we do what we were told to do -- to be alert and to work and pray for the spread of His Kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship should be more than biting time can sever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16884]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship should be more than biting time can sever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866 Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear,  It is not night ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7181]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866 Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear,  It is not night if Thou be near; O may no earth-born cloud arise  To hide Thee from thy servant's eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The women also ... are given a quiz asking them what's their primary form of contraception and their second form ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37751]]></link><description><![CDATA[The women also ... are given a quiz asking them what's their primary form of contraception and their second form of contraception, and it has to match up to what the practitioner said.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Arrestment, sudden really as a bolt out of the blue has hit strange victims. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56511]]></link><description><![CDATA[Arrestment, sudden really as a bolt out of the blue has hit strange victims.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the laws could speak for themselves, they would complain of the lawyers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24372]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the laws could speak for themselves, they would complain of the lawyers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not’? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65503]]></link><description><![CDATA[You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not’?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good die young - because they see it's no use living if you've got to be good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1771]]></link><description><![CDATA[The good die young - because they see it's no use living if you've got to be good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not treasured wealth, nor the consul's lictor, can dispel the mind's bitter conflicts and the cares that flit, like bats, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50308]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not treasured wealth, nor the consul's lictor, can dispel the mind's bitter conflicts and the cares that flit, like bats, about your fretted roofs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances; if there is any reaction, both are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47747]]></link><description><![CDATA[The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances; if there is any reaction, both are transformed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice.

Nothing else will meet my case. There is something genuinely at stake in every man's life, the climax whereof is death. Dying is inevitable, but arriving at the destination God offers to me is not inevitable. It is not impossible to go out of the way and fail to arrive. Christian doctrine has always urged that life eternal is something which may conceivably be missed. It is possible to neglect this great salvation and to lose it eternally, even though no man may say that anything is impossible with God or that his grace may ultimately be defeated. I know it is no longer fashionable to talk about Hell, one good reason for this being that to make religion into a prudential insurance policy is to degrade it. The Faith is not a fire-escape.
