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[Just when you think you've finally hit bottom, someone tosses you a shovel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51005]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just when you think you've finally hit bottom, someone tosses you a shovel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was a young kid, who at 35 had beat a 30-year politician. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40645]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was a young kid, who at 35 had beat a 30-year politician.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64575]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three things in human life are important.

To Homer, the dawn was "rosy-fingered"; to Shakespeare, it was "in russet mantle clad"; to Housman, "the ship of sunrise burning". The scientist can explain exactly why the sky looks as it does in the early morning, the physiologist why we perceive as we do. Yet no one suggests that there is no dawn at all, or that its appearance has changed over the centuries, or that any one of these percipients was mad or deceitful. Why should our knowledge of the Creator be less capable of variety and development than our knowledge of any aspect of Creation?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The game wasn't as close as the score would indicate.

Each was so well pleased with his bargain that they made for some time the same exchange day after day.
