But -- I know not well whence it comes to pass -- the things spoken do not abide nor incorporate in our minds. They please and refresh for a little while, like a shower of rain in a dry season, that soaketh not unto the roots of things; the power of them doth not enter into us. Is it not from hence, that their notions of future things are not educed out of the experience which we have of the beginnings of them in this world? Yea, the soul is disturbed, not edified, in all contemplations of future glory, where things are proposed to it whereof in this life it hath neither foretaste, sense, experience, nor evidence. No man ought to look for anything in heaven, but what one way or other he hath some experience of in this life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now, by St. Paul, the work goes bravely on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58133]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now, by St. Paul, the work goes bravely on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are.
