For my part, I must not only say, but plead whilst I live in this world, and leave this testimony to the present and future ages, if these papers see the light and do survive, that if I have ever seen any thing in the ways and worship of God wherein the power of religion or godliness hath been expressed, any thing that hath represented the holiness of the gospel and the Author of it, any thing that hath looked like a preludium unto the everlasting Sabbath and rest with God, which we aim through grace to come unto, it hath been there and with them where and amongst whom the Lord's day hath been had in highest esteem, and a strict observation of it attended unto, as an ordinance of our Lord Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am myself a man, and nothing relating to men is a matter of indifference to me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51740]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am myself a man, and nothing relating to men is a matter of indifference to me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In fact, you could argue that the money for these machines could come out of the 2006/07 budget because that's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38680]]></link><description><![CDATA[In fact, you could argue that the money for these machines could come out of the 2006/07 budget because that's when they're going to be put to full use, but the district decided we wanted to get them into teachers hands now to give them a jump on the learning curve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quality of construction and the design excellence are the key ingredients that set the homes that bear our name apart. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35121]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quality of construction and the design excellence are the key ingredients that set the homes that bear our name apart.

Let us pray then with faith, and not lose the fruits of our prayers by a wavering uncertainty which, as St. James testifies, hinders the success of them. The same apostle advises us to pray when we are in trouble because thereby we should find consolation; yet we are so wretched that this heavenly employment is often a burden instead of a comfort to us. The lukewarmness of our prayers is the source of all our other infidelities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth...never comes into the world but like a Bastard, to the ignominy of him that brought her forth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52175]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth...never comes into the world but like a Bastard, to the ignominy of him that brought her forth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the most important tasks of a manager is to eliminate his people's excuses for failure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26290]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the most important tasks of a manager is to eliminate his people's excuses for failure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lives like a drunken sailor on a mast, Ready with every nod to tumble down. -King Richard III.

[Continued tomorrow]  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 5, 1998  And let us be grateful beyond words for this: that God will not let us alone until we have learnt it and stand by His side. He troubles us, He brings His disturbing light back and back to us, showing us how coarse and heavy the dying self, seeking her own, is; how horrible it is that any feeling of unforgiveness, accepted and held on to, towards our brother, drives God from our side; how quickly we must do all we can to heal the separation, because we are out in the cold and the dark indeed, if divorced from that Love.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 6, 1998  Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597  Prayer is the expression of a good desire. The human heart is full of restless desires, and the prayers of men consist for the most part of the unsifted petitions which are urged by their varying passions. To desire what is right, and to desire it consistently, and passionately, is the first condition of true living; the desires can be corrected only by truth, the mind must apprehend God, and then it will say, "There is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[(I-Newswire) - In the free event, Bell will read from] No Planets Strike, ...
