He is the beginning, middle, and end of everything to us... There is nothing good, nothing holy, nothing beautiful, nothing joyous, which He is not to His servants. No one need be poor, because, if he chooses, he can have Jesus for his own property and possession. No one need be downcast, for Jesus is the joy of heaven, and it is His joy to enter into sorrowful hearts. We can exaggerate about many things; but we can never exaggerate our obligation to Jesus., or the compassionate abundance of the love of Jesus to us. All our lives long we might talk of Jesus, and yet we should never come to an end of the sweet things that night be said of Him. Eternity will not be long enough to learn all He is, or to praise Him for all He has done -- but then, that matters not; for we shall be always with Him, and we desire nothing more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46660]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of drawing conclusions from experiments and observations consists in evaluating probabilities and in estimating whether they are sufficiently ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27976]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of drawing conclusions from experiments and observations consists in evaluating probabilities and in estimating whether they are sufficiently great or numerous enough to constitute proofs.

The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Iran's defiance of the international ban on executing child offenders is a growing concern and calls into question its willingness ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Iran's defiance of the international ban on executing child offenders is a growing concern and calls into question its willingness to abide by international human rights standards,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46678]]></link><description><![CDATA[All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat; self control is the rule. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2585]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat; self control is the rule.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never take a solemn oath.
