To our amazement, it works out. And then we settle down. We have had our own first-hand and irrefutable experience. But, instead of opening the windows to the glory of the sunshine so evidently there, instead of being incited to a hugeness of faith by what Christ has already done for us, we can't believe that there can be anything more, or that even He can work, for us, anything better. That first foretaste satisfies us. And so we camp for life out on the confines of the Kingdom, and never press on to inherit what is there and meant for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prince, give praise to our French ladies For the sweet sound their speaking carries;  'Twixt Rome and Cadiz many ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45539]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prince, give praise to our French ladies For the sweet sound their speaking carries;  'Twixt Rome and Cadiz many a maid is,   But no good girl's lip out of Paris.   - Algernon Charles Swinburne,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fools-to-free-the-world, they go, Primeval hearts from Buffalo.  Red cataracts of France to-day   Awake, three thousand miles away, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44501]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fools-to-free-the-world, they go, Primeval hearts from Buffalo.  Red cataracts of France to-day   Awake, three thousand miles away,    An echo of Niagara     The cataract of Niagara.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One thing is forever good; That one thing is Success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58140]]></link><description><![CDATA[One thing is forever good; That one thing is Success.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The opponents and I are really one.

In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Excess of meats bringeth sickness ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14449]]></link><description><![CDATA[Excess of meats bringeth sickness]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one can have all he desires. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51172]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one can have all he desires.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, the gladness of their gladness when they're glad, And the sadness of their sadness when they're sad;  But ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61921]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, the gladness of their gladness when they're glad, And the sadness of their sadness when they're sad;  But the gladness of their gladness, and the sadness of their sadness,   Are as nothing to their badness when they're bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  An essential part of the ordination exam ought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8516]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bartolomè de las Casas, Apostle to the Indies, 1566  An essential part of the ordination exam ought to be a passage from some recognized theological work set for translation into vulgar English -- just like doing Latin prose. Failure on this part should mean failure on the whole exam. It is absolutely disgraceful that we expect missionaries to the Bantus to learn Bantu, but never ask whether our missionaries to the Americans or English can speak American or English. Any fool can write learned language: the vernacular is the real test.
