We are destined to a better state -- destined to rise to a spiritual consortship. So we, who shall be with God, shall be together: since we shall all be with the one God, though there be many mansions in the house of the same Father; and, in eternal life, God will still less separate them whom He has joined together, than, in this lesser life, He allows them to be separated.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At age nine I began serving long stints in juvenile detention quarters.

Is it a total contradiction of it? Is it some sort of a reflection of it? or perhaps a devil's parody of it? Or has it nothing to do with it at all? Perhaps there will be many Christians to whom it would not occur to pose the question whether the process of secularization has anything to do with the biblical understanding of the goal of history. The Bible, for them, belongs to a religious world which is not admitted to belong to the world of secular events -- the world in which we are when we read the daily newspaper. But this is to read the Bible wrongly. Whatever else it may be, the Bible is a secular book dealing with the sort of events which a news editor accepts for publication in a daily newspaper; it is concerned with secular events, wars, revolutions, enslavements and liberations, migrants and refugees, famines and epidemics and all the rest. It deals with events which happened and tells a story which can be checked. We miss this because we do not sufficiently treat the Bible as a whole. When we do this, we see at once that the Bible -- whatever be the variety of material which it contains: poetry, prayers, legislation, genealogy, and all the rest -- is in its main design a universal history. It is an interpretation of human history as a whole, beginning with the saga of creation and ending with a vision of the gathering together of all the nations and the consummation of God's purpose for mankind. The Bible is an outline of world history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the under-wood and the over-wood There is murmur and trill this day,  For every bird is in lyric ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26617]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the under-wood and the over-wood There is murmur and trill this day,  For every bird is in lyric mood,   And the wind will have its way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Especially on defense in the first half against everyone we play, we try to use our feet to get into ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31282]]></link><description><![CDATA[Especially on defense in the first half against everyone we play, we try to use our feet to get into the right positions and we did that very well as a team.

Jesus says that His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it.   Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can not be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow -- in which no work can be done, any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The big majority of Americans, who are comparatively well off, have developed an ability to have enclaves of people living ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27662]]></link><description><![CDATA[The big majority of Americans, who are comparatively well off, have developed an ability to have enclaves of people living in the greatest misery without almost noticing them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is impossible for a man to be cheated by anyone but himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5824]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is impossible for a man to be cheated by anyone but himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fifty-four forty, or fight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fifty-four forty, or fight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way I'd worry about the weather is if it snows on our side of the field and not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62273]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way I'd worry about the weather is if it snows on our side of the field and not theirs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is well, when judging a friend, to remember that he is judging you with the same godlike and superior ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16808]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is well, when judging a friend, to remember that he is judging you with the same godlike and superior impartiality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Illegitimis non carborundum."Lat., "Don't let the bastards grind you down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Illegitimis non carborundum."Lat., "Don't let the bastards grind you down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the while the company's done a good job of maintaining strong gross margins in a tough reimbursement market like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30057]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the while the company's done a good job of maintaining strong gross margins in a tough reimbursement market like the U.S..
