You will never get them open by philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light comes. Let God's truth work in you by soaking in it, not by worrying into it. Obey God in the thing He is at present showing you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. We read tomes on the work of the Holy Spirit when... five minutes of drastic obedience would make things clear as a sunbeam. We say, "I suppose I shall understand these things some day." You can understand them now: it is not study that does it, but obedience. The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens up and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away. God will never reveal more truth about Himself till you obey what you know already. Beware of being wise and prudent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Earnestness is enthusiasm tempered by reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13967]]></link><description><![CDATA[Earnestness is enthusiasm tempered by reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am the cygnet to this pale faint swan, Who chants a doleful hymn to his own death,  And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58459]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am the cygnet to this pale faint swan, Who chants a doleful hymn to his own death,  And from the organ-pipe of fraity sings   His soul and body to their lasting rest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Could we teach taste or genius by rules, they would be no longer taste and genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58642]]></link><description><![CDATA[Could we teach taste or genius by rules, they would be no longer taste and genius.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fools grow without watering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fools grow without watering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lull'd by soft zephyrs thro' the broken pane. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62667]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lull'd by soft zephyrs thro' the broken pane.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be sure you are right, then go ahead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54242]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be sure you are right, then go ahead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[right before you came, I almost completely tipped over like a board -- 'Timber!' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31437]]></link><description><![CDATA[right before you came, I almost completely tipped over like a board -- 'Timber!']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the latter end of a fray and the beginning of a feast Fits a dull fighter and a keen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55894]]></link><description><![CDATA[To the latter end of a fray and the beginning of a feast Fits a dull fighter and a keen guest. -King Henry IV.
