It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.   ... Maltbie D. Babcock August 7, 2000 Commemoration of John Mason Neale, Priest, Poet, 1866   For all the vigour of his polemic, St. Paul does not content himself with the denunciation of error, but finds the best defense against its insidious approaches in a closer adherence to the love of God and faith in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Call me not an olive, till thou see me gathered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Call me not an olive, till thou see me gathered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take away the cause, and the effect ceases. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47667]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take away the cause, and the effect ceases.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that I shall never scan A tree as lovely as a man.  . . . .  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59685]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that I shall never scan A tree as lovely as a man.  . . . .   A tree depicts divinest plan,    But God himself lives in a man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45160]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much madness is divinest sense To a discerning eye;  Much sense the starkest madness.   'Tis the majority ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much madness is divinest sense To a discerning eye;  Much sense the starkest madness.   'Tis the majority    In this, as all, prevails     Assent, and you are sane;      Demur,--you're straightway dangerous,       And handled with a chain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christ says that not alone in the Church is there forgiveness of sins, but that where two or three are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8293]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christ says that not alone in the Church is there forgiveness of sins, but that where two or three are gathered together in His name they shall have the right to promise to each other comfort and the forgiveness of sins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In liberal democracy and anxious anarchy, the traditional classic dance, compact of aristocratic authority and absolute freedom in a necessity ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2472]]></link><description><![CDATA[In liberal democracy and anxious anarchy, the traditional classic dance, compact of aristocratic authority and absolute freedom in a necessity of order, has never been so promising as an independent expression as it is today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I praise loudly, I blame softly ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4300]]></link><description><![CDATA[I praise loudly, I blame softly]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The impression is] that Dade County is like Alice in Wonderland where up is down, down is up.
