Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love.

Thus they would explain away the significance of the popular belief that our Lord wrought signs and wonders. But in so doing they set themselves a worse problem than they evade. If miracles were so very common, it would be as easy to believe that Jesus wrought them as that He worked at His father's bench, but also it would be as inconclusive.  And how then are we to explain the astonishment which all the evangelists so constantly record? On any conceivable theory, these writers shared the beliefs of that age, and so did the readers who accepted their assurance that all were amazed, and that His report "went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee." These are emphatic words, and both the author and his readers must have considered a miracle to be more surprising than modern critics believe they did. Yet we do not read of any one was converted by this miracle. All were amazed, but wonder is not self-surrender. They were content to let their excitement die out -- as every violent emotion must -- without any change of life, any permanent devotion to the new Teacher and His doctrine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For men, at most, differ as heaven and earth; But women, worst and best, as heaven and hell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51696]]></link><description><![CDATA[For men, at most, differ as heaven and earth; But women, worst and best, as heaven and hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the niceties that make the difference fate gives us the hand, and we play the cards. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15406]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's the niceties that make the difference fate gives us the hand, and we play the cards.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48234]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52375]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41652]]></link><description><![CDATA[Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although many machines have been disinfected, we're certainly not out of the woods yet.
