Look right, look left, I dwell alone; I lift mine eyes, but dimmed with grief No everlasting hills I see; My life is in the falling leaf: O Jesus, quicken me. My life is like a faded leaf, My harvest dwindled to a husk: Truly my life is void and brief And tedious in the barren dusk; My life is like a frozen thing, No bud nor greenness can I see: Yet rise it shall--the sap of spring; O Jesus, rise in me. My life is like a broken bowl, A broken bowl that cannot hold One drop of water for my soul Or cordial in the searching cold; Cast in the fire the perished thing; Melt and remould it, till it be A royal cup for Him, my King: O Jesus, drink of me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never follow the crowd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never follow the crowd.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a good strategic platform for taking off in the U.S.. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30170]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a good strategic platform for taking off in the U.S..]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a real underserved market. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32284]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a real underserved market.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When love becomes labored we welcome an act of infidelity towards ourselves to free us from fidelity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20808]]></link><description><![CDATA[When love becomes labored we welcome an act of infidelity towards ourselves to free us from fidelity]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know I met you, Kist you, and prest you close within my arms,  With all the tenderness of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61879]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know I met you, Kist you, and prest you close within my arms,  With all the tenderness of wifely love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A women knows how to keep quiet when she is in the right, whereas a man, when he is in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27031]]></link><description><![CDATA[A women knows how to keep quiet when she is in the right, whereas a man, when he is in the right, will keep on talking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17729]]></link><description><![CDATA[There cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47543]]></link><description><![CDATA[The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime, and the punishment of his guilt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we'd save a lot of money by hiring our own engineer.

To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its roots in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride -- these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885  In America, it is hard to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6588]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885  In America, it is hard to distinguish Christianity from its social and cultural setting. It blends into the scenery. Many people assume that we live in a "Christian society". Obviously, the Christian church has no strong witness against society. In [a communist country], the situation is exactly the opposite. Christians there live under a political regime which makes a point of distinguishing itself from all religion, and which is grounded philosophically on atheism and materialism. The Church lives in a hostile social order. The result is that the weak Christians are weeded out, and the strong Christians are tremendously strengthened by adversity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To break an oral agreement which is not legally binding is morally wrong ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1915]]></link><description><![CDATA[To break an oral agreement which is not legally binding is morally wrong]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10211]]></link><description><![CDATA[Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The people to whom your fathers told of the living God, and taught to call 'Father,' and whom the sons ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9774]]></link><description><![CDATA[The people to whom your fathers told of the living God, and taught to call 'Father,' and whom the sons now seek to despoil and destroy, are crying aloud to Him in their time of trouble; and He will keep His promise, and will listen to the voices of His Hawaiian children lamenting for their homes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can cover his high fame but Heaven; No pyramids set off his memories,  But the eternal substance of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15091]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can cover his high fame but Heaven; No pyramids set off his memories,  But the eternal substance of his greatness,--   To which I leave him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where is the pride of Summer,--the green prime,-- The many, many leaves all twinkling?--three  On the mossed elm; three ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59682]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where is the pride of Summer,--the green prime,-- The many, many leaves all twinkling?--three  On the mossed elm; three on the naked lime   Trembling,--and one upon the old oak tree!    Where is the Dryad's immortality?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride is the master sin of the devil, and the devil is the father of lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45317]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride is the master sin of the devil, and the devil is the father of lies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important thing here is that the government will stick to its policy of no ransom payments, ...
