What is the reason that so many in our days set their hands to the plough, and looked back again? -- begin to serve Providence in great things, but cannot finish? -- give over in the heat of the day? They never had any such revelation of the mind of God upon their spirits, such a discovery of His excellence, as might serve for a bottom of such undertakings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mine be the breezy hill that skirts the down; Where a green grassy turf is all I crave,  With ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18200]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mine be the breezy hill that skirts the down; Where a green grassy turf is all I crave,  With here and there a violet bestrown,   Fast by a brook or fountain's murmuring wave;    And many an evening sun shine sweetly on my grave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the volume is up to over 100 decibels, even one and a half or two hours of use can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31793]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the volume is up to over 100 decibels, even one and a half or two hours of use can cause damage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Having some retail experience is key.

If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If (union members) were going to end up paying so much more into the retirement plan or the health insurance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37148]]></link><description><![CDATA[If (union members) were going to end up paying so much more into the retirement plan or the health insurance ... why would you want to keep the job?
