But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Culture is the passion for sweetness and light, and (what is more) the passion for making them prevail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Culture is the passion for sweetness and light, and (what is more) the passion for making them prevail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man's road in life is marked by the graves of his personal likings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man's road in life is marked by the graves of his personal likings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O'er the glad waters of the dark blue sea, Our thoughts as boundless, and our souls as free,  Far ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43989]]></link><description><![CDATA[O'er the glad waters of the dark blue sea, Our thoughts as boundless, and our souls as free,  Far as the breeze can bear, the billows foam,   Survey our empire, and behold our home!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is a carnivorous production, And must have meals, at least one meal a day;  He cannot live, like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13177]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is a carnivorous production, And must have meals, at least one meal a day;  He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction,   But, like the shark and tiger, must have prey;    Although his anatomical construction     Bears vegetables, in a grumbling way,      Your laboring people think beyond all question,       Beef, veal, and mutton better for digestion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're more knowledgeable since I went away.
