We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with Him.

In this world our contact with Him is shadowy, for we can only see through a glass darkly. It is spasmodic, for we are poor creatures and cannot live always on the heights. But the best definition of it is to say that heaven is that state where we will always be with Jesus, and where nothing will separate us from Him any more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the gloamin' o' the wood The throssil whusslit sweet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59253]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the gloamin' o' the wood The throssil whusslit sweet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To fight is a radical instinct; if men have nothing else to fight over they will fight over words, fancies, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15672]]></link><description><![CDATA[To fight is a radical instinct; if men have nothing else to fight over they will fight over words, fancies, or women, or they will fight because they dislike each other's looks, or because they have met walking in opposite directions]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was really too honest a man to be a politician and live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46899]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was really too honest a man to be a politician and live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's tough, it's an interesting little play -- part comedy, part serious.
