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.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those he commands move only in command, Nothing in live.

But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating, and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a women and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called "falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I picked up those little girls that drowned, all I could think about was my grandbabies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37121]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I picked up those little girls that drowned, all I could think about was my grandbabies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An upbraided morsell never choaked any. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49133]]></link><description><![CDATA[An upbraided morsell never choaked any.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49133</guid></item></channel></rss>
