We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle [Samoa]... Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not be, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great work is made out of a combination of obedience and liberty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24715]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great work is made out of a combination of obedience and liberty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've often wished that I had clear, For life, six hundred pounds a year,  A handsome house to lodge ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61791]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've often wished that I had clear, For life, six hundred pounds a year,  A handsome house to lodge a friend,   A river at my garden's end,    A terrace walk, and half a rood     Of land, set out to plant a wood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These are begot in the ventricle of memory, nourished in the womb of pia mater, and delivered upon the mellowing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55493]]></link><description><![CDATA[These are begot in the ventricle of memory, nourished in the womb of pia mater, and delivered upon the mellowing of occasion. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

We are speaking of the proper relationship to the living God who exists. In order to understand the problems of our generation, we should be very alive to this distinction. Semantics (linguistic analysis) makes up the heart of modern philosophical study in the Anglo-Saxon world. Though the Christian cannot accept this study as a total philosophy, there is no reason why he should not be glad for the concept that words need to be defined before they can be used in communication. As Christians, we must understand that there is no word so meaningless as the word "god" until it is defined. No word has been used to reach absolutely opposite concepts as much as the word "god". Consequently, let us not be confused. There is much "spirituality" about us today that would relate itself to the word god or to the idea god; but this is not what we are talking about. Biblical truth and spirituality is not a relationship to the word god, or to the idea god. It is a relationship to the one who is there, which is an entirely different concept.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The establishment is made up of little men, very frightened. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29960]]></link><description><![CDATA[The establishment is made up of little men, very frightened.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60960]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the dark journey with us.
