We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men of the noblest dispositions think themselves happiest when others share their happiness with them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17265]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men of the noblest dispositions think themselves happiest when others share their happiness with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The doctor?s authorized me to indicate to the public that he acknowledges that he has an alcohol problem.

It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No scene of mortal life but teems with mortal woe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51097]]></link><description><![CDATA[No scene of mortal life but teems with mortal woe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[CHRISTMAS DAY GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN Lo, God, our God has come!

The old man told him that he worshipped the fire only, and acknowledged no other God. At which answer Abraham grew so zealously angry, that he threw the old man out of his tent, and exposed him to all the evils of the night and an unguarded condition. When the old man was gone, God called to Abraham, and asked him where the stranger was. He replied, "I thrust him away, because he did not worship thee." God answered him, "I have suffered him these hundred years, though he dishonoured me; and wouldst thou not endure him one night?".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The raven himself is hoarse That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan  Under my battlements. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52984]]></link><description><![CDATA[The raven himself is hoarse That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan  Under my battlements.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rule by patience, Laughing Water! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45723]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rule by patience, Laughing Water!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I come, I come! ye have called me long, I come o'er the mountain with light and song:  Ye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57794]]></link><description><![CDATA[I come, I come! ye have called me long, I come o'er the mountain with light and song:  Ye may trace my step o'er the wakening earth,   By the winds which tell of the violet's birth,    By the primrose-stars in the shadowy grass,     By the green leaves, opening as I pass.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26283]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing so fatal to character as half finished tasks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22589]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing so fatal to character as half finished tasks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That really stuck in my head.

The experience of the Jews in relation to Jesus, and of the churches throughout the ages, demonstrates that this is the most persistent and far-reaching temptation which confronts men. To call attention to this is always an urgently necessary part of the prophetic ministry within the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art thou a friend to Roderick? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art thou a friend to Roderick?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seem'd as if each thought and look And motion were that minute chain'd  Fast to the spot such ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55142]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seem'd as if each thought and look And motion were that minute chain'd  Fast to the spot such root she took,   And--like a sunflower by a brook,    With face upturn'd--so still remain'd!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People know each other better on a journey.
