The centre of the heavenly life is fixed and immovable, but the circumference may ever be advancing towards the centre, the saints may ever be drawing nearer and nearer to the goal which they can never reach. There may be progress in knowledge, progress in enjoyment, progress in service -- a progress which at every point will open up new wonders, new opportunities, new outlooks into a greater future, and as that future unfolds itself, new and unexpected scopes for the energies of redeemed men, new ways of fellowship with God in Christ, new companionships with the good and great of past generations, and with angelic beings who have watched and guarded us in life, and rejoiced over our repentance, and are ready to welcome us into the eternal mansions, and will share our worship and our work, our service and our joy, in the ages to come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64728]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whose talk is of bullocks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58603]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whose talk is of bullocks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is an endless repetition of the wrong way of living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53851]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is an endless repetition of the wrong way of living.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why, universal plodding poisons up The nimble spirits in the arteries,  As motion and long-during action tires   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why, universal plodding poisons up The nimble spirits in the arteries,  As motion and long-during action tires   The sinewy vigor of the traveller.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To a fair day open the window, but make you ready as to a foule. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49994]]></link><description><![CDATA[To a fair day open the window, but make you ready as to a foule.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Married in haste we may repent at leisure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48923]]></link><description><![CDATA[Married in haste we may repent at leisure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Competition is what keeps me playing the psychological warfare of matching skill against skill and wit against wit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61834]]></link><description><![CDATA[Competition is what keeps me playing the psychological warfare of matching skill against skill and wit against wit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12836]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A.J. is a guy who, if we didn't have Dan and Andy, people would be buzzing about.
