A very ordinary thing acquires a new value, if it has been possessed by some famous person. In any museum we will find quite ordinary things--clothes, a walking-stick, a pen, pieces of furniture--which are only of value because they were possessed and used by some great person. It is the ownership which gives them worth. It is so with the Christian. The Christian may be a very ordinary person, but he acquires a new value and dignity and greatness because he belongs to God. The greatness of the Christian lies in the fact that he is God's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Gods cannot help those who do not seize opportunities ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45045]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Gods cannot help those who do not seize opportunities]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On my velvet couch reclining, Ivy leaves my brow entwining,  While my soul expands with glee,   What ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23111]]></link><description><![CDATA[On my velvet couch reclining, Ivy leaves my brow entwining,  While my soul expands with glee,   What are kings and crowns to me?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just every moment with Dick Cheney has been my favorite.

Here's what I wonder about Dick Cheney, and the reason that maybe they keep him only in loyalty oath audiences, is if he becomes angry, I do believe he turns into the Hulk. And so, they try and keep people from questioning him, because he'll just -- the shirt rips, and suddenly he has hair. So he's been my favorite, because he just goes out there to a room full of supporters and says, 'You know we're all going to die, right?' You're going to die unless I'm in charge.']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am but mad north-north-west.

The affliction is light and temporary when compared with the all-surpassing and everlasting glory. So Paul, writing against a background of recent and (even for him) unparalleled tribulation, had assured his friends in Corinth a year or two before this that 'this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison' (2 Cor 4:17). It is not merely that the glory is a compensation for the suffering; it actually grows out of the suffering. There is an organic relation between the two for the believer as surely as there was for the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alas! regardless of their doom, The little victims play;  No sense have they of ills to come,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alas! regardless of their doom, The little victims play;  No sense have they of ills to come,   Nor care beyond to-day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not want us to become complacent.
