It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou marvell'st at my words, but hold thee still; Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou marvell'st at my words, but hold thee still; Things bad begun make strong themselves by ill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past-- For years fleet away with the wings of the dove-- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23825]]></link><description><![CDATA[When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past-- For years fleet away with the wings of the dove--  The dearest remembrance will still be the last,   Our sweetest memorial the first kiss of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Born to be wild - live to outgrow it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Born to be wild - live to outgrow it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This last section of Psalm 22 [i.e., verses 27-31] reminds us of Hebrews 12:2: "Looking unto Jesus the author and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6209]]></link><description><![CDATA[This last section of Psalm 22 [i.e., verses 27-31] reminds us of Hebrews 12:2: "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." The "joy" that was set before Jesus was, we feel, knowing of the riches which would come to his brethren out of his death. In short, we are his joy, set before him when on the cross. As we have seen, only as the circle of the love of Jesus becomes world wide and as big as history will it be complete.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't get the impression that you arouse my anger.
