If life be long I will be glad,  That I may long obey; If short--yet why should I be sad  To soar to endless day? Christ leads me through no darker rooms  Than He went through before; He that unto God's kingdom comes,  Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet  Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet,  What will Thy glory be! Then shall I end my sad complaints,  And weary, sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints,  To sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that life is small,  The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,  And I shall be with him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For blocks are better cleft with wedges, Tan tools of sharp or subtle edges,  And dullest nonsense has been ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44607]]></link><description><![CDATA[For blocks are better cleft with wedges, Tan tools of sharp or subtle edges,  And dullest nonsense has been found   By some to be the most profound.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy man has no time to form. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1832]]></link><description><![CDATA[Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy man has no time to form.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Condemned whole years in absence to deplore, And image charms he must behold no more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Condemned whole years in absence to deplore, And image charms he must behold no more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't try to buy at the bottom and sell at the top.
