There is hope in the heart that chases the clouds away. Hope is a higher heart frequency and as you begin to reconnect with your heart, hope is waiting to show you new possibilities and arrest the downward spiral of grief and loneliness. It becomes a matter of how soon you want the sun to shine. Listening to the still, small voice in your heart will make hope into a reality. Sara Paddison, The Hidden Power of the Heart Hope is a higher heart frequency, and as you begin to re-connect with your heart, hope is waiting to show you new possibilities and arrest the downward spiral of grief and loneliness. Listening to the still small voice in your heart will make hope into a reality. Benjamin Franklin, preface, Poor Richard's Almanac, 1758 He that lives upon hope will die fasting. -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18492]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is criminal to steal a purse, daring to steal a fortune, a mark of greatness to steal a crown.

We modern pagans have to choose between that divine order, and the grey, dead, irresponsible, chaotic universe of atheism. And the tragedy is that we may make that choice without knowing it -- not by clear conviction but by vague drifting, by losing interest in Him. A nominal deist will say: "Yes, of course there must be some sort of Force that created the galaxy. But it's childish to imagine that It has any personal relation to me!" In that belief atheism exists as an undiagnosed disease. The man who says, "One God," and does not care, is an atheist in his heart. The man who speaks of God and will not recognize him in the burning bush -- that man is an atheist, though he speak with the tongues of men or angels, and appear in his pew every Sunday, and make large contributions to the church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63184]]></link><description><![CDATA[Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you build a better mousetrap, you will catch better mice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9546]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you build a better mousetrap, you will catch better mice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your day will come is another way of saying you get yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your day will come is another way of saying you get yours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst punishment of all is, that in the court of his own conscience no guilty man is acquitted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50511]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst punishment of all is, that in the court of his own conscience no guilty man is acquitted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bright flowers, whose home is everywhere Bold in maternal nature's care  And all the long year through the heir ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10997]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bright flowers, whose home is everywhere Bold in maternal nature's care  And all the long year through the heir   Of joy and sorrow,    Methinks that there abides in thee     Some concord with humanity,      Given to no other flower I see       The forest through.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He [Caesar Augustus] found a city built of brick;

for I have nothing worthy of Him to set before Him, only a kind of affection, real enough at times, but which, at others, can and does so easily forget; only a will, quite unreliable, deplorably unstable; only a faith that is the merest shadow of what His real friends mean when they speak about faith, I know. But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obstinacy is ever most positive when it is most in the wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obstinacy is ever most positive when it is most in the wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2691]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jake is a 100-yard threat running the ball, he's a good thrower and he has a great understanding of our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31884]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jake is a 100-yard threat running the ball, he's a good thrower and he has a great understanding of our offense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10084]]></link><description><![CDATA[We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We find comfort among those who agree with us-growth among those who don't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22484]]></link><description><![CDATA[We find comfort among those who agree with us-growth among those who don't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46522]]></link><description><![CDATA[Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not like work even when someone else does it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62171]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not like work even when someone else does it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty is not diminished by being shared. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52229]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty is not diminished by being shared.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Calvin, renewer of the Church, 1564  In that obedience which we have shown to be due ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7812]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Calvin, renewer of the Church, 1564  In that obedience which we have shown to be due the authority of rulers, we are always to make this exception, indeed, to observe it as primary, that such obedience is never to lead us away from obedience to him, to whose decrees all their commands ought to yield, to whose majesty their scepters ought to be submitted. And how absurd would it be that in satisfying men you should incur the displeasure of him for whose sake you obey men themselves! The Lord, therefore, is the King of Kings, who, when he has opened his sacred mouth, must alone be heard, before all and above all men; next to him we are subject to those men who are in authority over us, but only in him.
