They had shortcomings enough, it is true, and divisions and scandals not a few, for even apostolic times were no golden age of purity and primitive simplicity. Yet we can see that their fullness of life, and hope, and promise for the future, were a new sort of power in the world. Within their own limits they had solved almost by the way the social problem which baffled Rome, and baffles Europe still. They had lifted woman to her rightful place, restored the dignity of labour, abolished beggary, and drawn the sting of slavery. The secret of the revolution is that the selfishness of race and class were forgotten in the Supper of the Lord, and a new basis for society found in love of the visible image of God in men for whom Christ died.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one success ... to be able to spend your life in your own way, and not to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58168]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is only one success ... to be able to spend your life in your own way, and not to give others absurd maddening claims upon it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too many people today know the price of everything and the value of nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66832]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too many people today know the price of everything and the value of nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought we did enough solid things to win the game.

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[Let us endeavor to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11409]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us endeavor to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is vital that we move forward together in the coming days as the transfer of sovereignty approaches, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30119]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is vital that we move forward together in the coming days as the transfer of sovereignty approaches,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[November rolled around and our checks came up smaller then normal.

DC Studios was finally deducting Federal Taxes, another step we looked forward to during this acquisition. This happened twice in November, yet no new contracts had been drawn which justified any Dallas member as an actual employee of DC Studios. We questioned this matter, and in December, our first check came in and it was back to the old figures, where no taxes were being taken out. So where did our Federal Tax money go, not to mention the withholdings for Health Insurance, which we found out was canceled due to non-payment?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ugliness is a point of view: an ulcer is wonderful to a pathologist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59996]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ugliness is a point of view: an ulcer is wonderful to a pathologist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing you can lose by dying is half as precious as the readiness to die, which is man's charter of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11351]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing you can lose by dying is half as precious as the readiness to die, which is man's charter of nobility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you're in Washington and voting, you don't have the one-on-one interaction with your constituents that you do when you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38741]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you're in Washington and voting, you don't have the one-on-one interaction with your constituents that you do when you are in the district working out of the district office.
