The good I have is from His stores supplied, The ill is only what He deems the best; He for my friend, I'm rich with naught beside, And poor without Him, though of all possessed; Changes may come, I take or I resign Content, while I am His, and He is mine. Whate'er may change, in Him no change is seen, A glorious Sun that wanes not nor declines; Above the storms and clouds He walks serene, And on His people's inward darkness shines; All may depart: I fret not, nor repine, While I my Saviours am, while He is mine. While here, alas! I know but half His love, But half discern Him, and but half adore; But when I meet Him in the realms above I hope to love him better, praise Him more, And feel, and tell, amid the choir divine, How fully I am His, and He is mine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They who forgive most shall be most forgiven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53338]]></link><description><![CDATA[They who forgive most shall be most forgiven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading.

To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She trains with the boys.
