This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God, when they love Him for their own advantage.

It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All labours draw hame at even, And can to others say,  "Thanks to the gracious God of heaven,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58262]]></link><description><![CDATA[All labours draw hame at even, And can to others say,  "Thanks to the gracious God of heaven,   Whilk sent this summer day."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is the art of creating imaginary gardens with real toads.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is twice as large, measured on a three-year-old's three-foot scale on a thirty-year-old's six-foot scale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything is twice as large, measured on a three-year-old's three-foot scale on a thirty-year-old's six-foot scale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a strong confectionery business there at the moment, so this acquisition would represent a good strategic fit for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37783]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a strong confectionery business there at the moment, so this acquisition would represent a good strategic fit for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Leo the Great, Bishop of Rome, 461  If we would put some slight stress on ourselves at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Leo the Great, Bishop of Rome, 461  If we would put some slight stress on ourselves at the beginning, then afterwards we should be able to do all things with ease and joy. It is a hard thing to break through a habit, and a yet harder thing to go contrary to our own will. Yet, if thou overcome not slight and easy obstacles, how wilt thou overcome greater ones? Withstand thy will at the beginning, and unlearn an evil habit, lest it lead thee little by little into worse difficulties.
