He is the beginning, middle, and end of everything to us... There is nothing good, nothing holy, nothing beautiful, nothing joyous, which He is not to His servants. No one need be poor, because, if he chooses, he can have Jesus for his own property and possession. No one need be downcast, for Jesus is the joy of heaven, and it is His joy to enter into sorrowful hearts. We can exaggerate about many things; but we can never exaggerate our obligation to Jesus., or the compassionate abundance of the love of Jesus to us. All our lives long we might talk of Jesus, and yet we should never come to an end of the sweet things that night be said of Him. Eternity will not be long enough to learn all He is, or to praise Him for all He has done -- but then, that matters not; for we shall be always with Him, and we desire nothing more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And why take ye thought for raiment?

Accordingly we must note the general forms by which no one from first to last (as people say) is excluded, provided sincerity of heart, dissatisfaction with ourselves, humility, and faith are present in order that our hypocrisy may not profane God's name by calling upon him deceitfully. Our most gracious Father will not cast out those whom he not only urges, but stirs up with every possible means, to come to him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64112]]></link><description><![CDATA[The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a dangerous and idle dream to think that the state can become rule by philosophers turned kings or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47650]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a dangerous and idle dream to think that the state can become rule by philosophers turned kings or scientists turned commissars. For if philosophers become kings or scientists commissars, they become politicians, and the powers given to the state are powers given to men who are rulers of states, men subject to all the limitations and temptations of their dangerous craft. Unless this is borne in mind, there will be a dangerous optimistic tendency to sweep aside doubts and fears as irrelevant, since, in the state that the projectors have in mind, power will be exercised by men of a wisdom and degree of moral virtue that we have not yet seen. It won't. It will be exercised by men who will be men first and rulers next and scientists and saints long after.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are back in business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33758]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are back in business.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew the way (the Cougars) played they were going to let us back in the game.
