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[Easter Commemoration of John Donne, Priest, Poet, 1631   God, who is Almighty, Alpha and Omega, First and Last, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8211]]></link><description><![CDATA[Easter Commemoration of John Donne, Priest, Poet, 1631   God, who is Almighty, Alpha and Omega, First and Last, that God is also Love it self; and therefore this Love is Alpha and Omega, First and Last too. Consider Christ's proceeding with Peter in the ship, in the storm: First he suffered him to be in some danger in the storm, but then he visits him with that strong assurance, "Be not afraid, It is I": any testimony of his presence rectifies all. This puts Peter into that spiritual confidence and courage, "Lord bid me come to thee"; he hath a desire to be with Christ, but yet stays his bidding: he puts not himself into an unnecessary danger, without commandment: Christ bids him, and Peter comes: but yet, though Christ were in his sight, and even in the actual exercise of his love to him, so soon as he saw a gust, a storm, "He was afraid"; and Christ lets him fear, and lets him sink, and lets him cry, but he directs his fear and his cry to the right end: "Lord, save me"; and thereupon he stretched forth his hand and saved him...   God puts his children into good ways, and he directs and protects them in those ways; for this is the constancy and perseverence of the love of Jesus Christ to us, as he is called in this text (Matt. 21:44), a stone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is that which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13437]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is that which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When workmen strive to do better than well, They do confound their skill in covetousness,  And oftentimes excusing of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10463]]></link><description><![CDATA[When workmen strive to do better than well, They do confound their skill in covetousness,  And oftentimes excusing of a fault   Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse,    As patches set upon a little breach     Discredit more in hiding of the fault      Than did the fault before it was so patched.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of every noble action the intent Is to give worth reward, vice punishment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of every noble action the intent Is to give worth reward, vice punishment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jerry: I love you ... you complete me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25644]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jerry: I love you ... you complete me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59669]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not that hard to move anything you do on paper to a computer.

It was the God, in fact, whom the whole of the life of Jesus set forth, to the astonishment of those among whom He moved. Loving still, He brought God to men in the same unmistakable way. The divine love that through Jesus had found the public an Zacchaeus had now through the risen Christ found Paul the Pharisee. Hence forward the central facts of life for Paul were that while he was yet a sinner God had found and forgiven him, and that this was the work of Jesus Christ, in whose love the love of God had become plain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44817]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever I felt like slitting my wrists I used to like listening to depressed singers from the 1970s.
