How shall I praise th' eternal God,  That Infinite Unknown? Who can ascend his high abode,   Or venture near his throne? The great invisible! He dwells  Conceal'd in dazzling light: But his all-searching eye reveals  The secrets of the night. Those watchful eyes that never sleep,  Survey the world around; His wisdom is the boundless deep,  Where all our thoughts are drown'd.  He knows no shadow of a change,  Nor alters his decrees; Firm as a rock his truth remains,   To guard his promises.  Justice, upon a dreadful throne,  Maintains the rights of God; While mercy sends her pardons down,  Bought with a Saviour's blood. Now to my soul immortal King,   Speak some forgiving word; Then `twill be double joy to sing  The glories of my Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is never any peace for those who resist God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7786]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is never any peace for those who resist God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing proceeds from nothingness, as also nothing passes away into non-existence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44667]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing proceeds from nothingness, as also nothing passes away into non-existence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without a goal, you cannot survive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without a goal, you cannot survive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man's justice is another's injustice; one man's beauty is another's ugliness; one man's wisdom is another's folly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59997]]></link><description><![CDATA[One man's justice is another's injustice; one man's beauty is another's ugliness; one man's wisdom is another's folly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Barnabas the Apostle  It is obvious ... that there are many lay people who can counsel more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7404]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Barnabas the Apostle  It is obvious ... that there are many lay people who can counsel more effectively than the minister can in such areas as adjusting to widowhood, coming to terms with advancing age, bringing principle to bear upon business decisions, because they have experience in these fields which the minister does not personally have. At the very least, they can add a note of reality to what the minister offers. In many cases, the group takes up where the individual counseling left off, supplementing it or even eliminating it entirely. I have been repeatedly thankful that a group was available to give steady guidance who had made a fresh start in Christian living, but who still had a long way to go; this has been especially true in cases of loneliness, moderate emotional instability, inability to understand others, and need of continued guidance in the use of prayer and the Bible and the accepting and giving of love. In the nature of the case, no amount of individual counseling can fully deal with these needs. The "priesthood of all believers" becomes a recognized fact, with each person helping to open up for his neighbor the way to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm saddened that I have to work at some fundamental areas.

Our hearts be pure from evil, That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection light, And, list'ning to His accents, May hear, so calm and plain His own "All hail!" and, hearing, May raise the victor strain. Now let the heav'ns be joyful, Let earth her song begin, Let the round world keep triumph And all that is therein; Invisible and visible, Their notes let all things blend; For Christ the Lord has risen -- Our Joy that has no end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mother is not a person to lean on but a person to make leaning unnecessary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43184]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mother is not a person to lean on but a person to make leaning unnecessary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never let us do wrong, because our opponents did so.

The emphasis is on unselfish. Excepting a small minority of mercenary or sadistic disposition, wars are not fought for personal gain, but out of loyalty and devotion to king, country or cause. Homicide committed for personal reasons is a statistical rarity in all cultures, including our own. Homicide for unselfish reasons, at the risk of one's own life, is the dominant phenomenon of history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What can ennoble sots, or slaves, or cowards? Alas! not all the blood, of all the Howards. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2502]]></link><description><![CDATA[What can ennoble sots, or slaves, or cowards? Alas! not all the blood, of all the Howards.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bottom line is, he's not in custody yet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31590]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bottom line is, he's not in custody yet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Content is a word unknown to life; it is also a word unknown to man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Content is a word unknown to life; it is also a word unknown to man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men's plans should be regulated by the circumstances, not circumstances by the plans. [Lat., Consilia res magis dant hominibus quam ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8717]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men's plans should be regulated by the circumstances, not circumstances by the plans. [Lat., Consilia res magis dant hominibus quam homines rebus.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the Judiciary, which they may ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9916]]></link><description><![CDATA[The constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the Judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Methinks sometimes I have no more wit than a Christian or an ordinary man has. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Methinks sometimes I have no more wit than a Christian or an ordinary man has.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11240]]></link><description><![CDATA[All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The chiefs contend only for their place of burial. [Lat., Ducibus tantum de funere pugna est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9968]]></link><description><![CDATA[The chiefs contend only for their place of burial. [Lat., Ducibus tantum de funere pugna est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're more knowledgeable since I went away.
