Not always; sometimes He, Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. And "by still waters" ? No, not always so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waves and billows go. But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by, And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." So, where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.  ...

Your principal maladies are pride, which cuts you off from God, and sensuality, which binds you to the earth; and they have done nothing but foster at least one of these maladies. If they have given you God for your object, it has only been to pander to your pride; they have made you think that you were like Him and resembled Him by your nature. And those who have grasped the vanity of such a pretension have cast you down into the other abyss by making you believe that your nature was like that of the beasts of the field, and have led you to seek your good in lust, which is the lot of animals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The person who can be only serious or only cheerful, is but half a man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27192]]></link><description><![CDATA[The person who can be only serious or only cheerful, is but half a man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laziness grows on people; it begins in cobwebs and ends in iron chains.
