If he have not the true God to bless and sustain him, he will have some false god to delude and to betray him. The Psalmist knew this, and therefore he joined so closely forgetting the name of our God and holding up our hands to some strange god. For every man has something in which he hopes, on which he leans, to which he retreats and retires, with which he fills up his thoughts in empty spaces of time, when he is alone, when he lies sleepless on his bed, when he is not pressed with other thoughts; to which he betakes himself in sorrow or trouble, as that from which he shall draw comfort and strength -- his fortress, his citadel, his defence; and has not this a good right to be called his god? Man was made to lean on the Creator; but if not on Him, then he leans on the creature in one shape or another. The ivy cannot grow alone: it must twine round some support or other; if not the goodly oak, then the ragged thorn -- round any dead stick whatever, rather than have no stay or support at all. It is even so with the heart and affections of man; if they do not twine around God, they must twine around some meaner thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And wheresoe'er thou move, good luck Shall fling her old shoe after. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26026]]></link><description><![CDATA[And wheresoe'er thou move, good luck Shall fling her old shoe after.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The conception of the Church which we tend to reproduce as the fruit of our missionary work is so much ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7326]]></link><description><![CDATA[The conception of the Church which we tend to reproduce as the fruit of our missionary work is so much a replica of our own, so much that of a fundamentally settled body existing for the sake of its own members rather than that of a body of strangers and pilgrims, the sign and instrument of a supernatural and universal salvation to be revealed, that our missionary advance tends to follow the lines of cultural and political expansion. and to falter when that advance stops.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The information is used by conservation groups and other agencies to set priorities for funding and research. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30527]]></link><description><![CDATA[The information is used by conservation groups and other agencies to set priorities for funding and research.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best things in life are unexpected - because there were no expectations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14618]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best things in life are unexpected - because there were no expectations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to work with the top people, because only they have the courage and the confidence and the risk-seeking ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22289]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want to work with the top people, because only they have the courage and the confidence and the risk-seeking profile that you need.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quantity of books in a person's library, is often a cloud of witnesses to the ignorance of the owner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24782]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quantity of books in a person's library, is often a cloud of witnesses to the ignorance of the owner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two heads are better than one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two heads are better than one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cards were at first for benefits designed, Sent to amuse, not to enslave the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5239]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cards were at first for benefits designed, Sent to amuse, not to enslave the mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hallo!

No, here was a sequence of great character and emancipated spirit, all attached to and explained by such a personality as the world never saw; and the central doctrine of the risen Christ squared with the rationality and the goodness of God... The wise said that God and the godlike could have no contact with suffering, but Jesus was no phantom feigning to be crucified; he truly suffered on the cross, he truly rose. Suffering is a language all can understand, and none can quite exhaust; and the suffering Christ, victorious over pain and death, meant for all who grasped his significance a new faith in God, a new freedom of mind in God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Huzzaed out of my seven senses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55097]]></link><description><![CDATA[Huzzaed out of my seven senses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55097</guid></item></channel></rss>
