If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Informal relationships are not mere minor interstitial supplements to the major institutions of society.

Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although prepared for martyrdom, I prefer that it be postponed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although prepared for martyrdom, I prefer that it be postponed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I 'll speak in a monstrous little voice. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.

It lay in the relationship he held with God. We know the familiar idea of Jesus' oneness with God: only we deal with it too much as a doctrine of the Church, not as an element in Jesus' own experience. If we never find it in reality, in life, we cannot reveal the true Christ-like character at all -- we will always be trying earnestly to be something, but on too superficial and obvious a plane.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn June 28, 1996 Feast of Irenêus, Bishop of Lyons, Teacher, Martyr, c.200  The Church exists, and does not depend for its existence upon our definition of it: it exists wherever God in His sovereign freedom calls it into being by calling his own into the fellowship of His Son. And it exists solely by His mercy. God shuts up and will shut up every way except the way of faith which simply accepts His mercy as mercy. To that end, He is free to break off unbelieving branches, to graft in wild slips, and to call "No people" His people. And if, at the end, those who have preserved through all the centuries the visible "marks" of the Church find themselves at the same board with some strange and uncouth late-comers on the ecclesiastical scene, may we not fancy that they will hear Him say -- would it not be so like him to say -- "It is my will to give unto these last even as unto thee"? Final judgement belongs to God, and we have to beware of judging before the time. I think that if we refuse fellowship in Christ to any body of men and women who accept Jesus as Lord and show the fruits of His Spirit in their corporate life, we do so at our peril. It behooves us, therefore, to receive one another as Christ has received us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Midnight, yet not a nose From Tower Hill to Piccadilly snored! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27458]]></link><description><![CDATA[Midnight, yet not a nose From Tower Hill to Piccadilly snored!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Baxter, Priest, Hymnographer, Teacher, 1691 Lord, it belongs not to my care,  Whether I die or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7724]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Baxter, Priest, Hymnographer, Teacher, 1691 Lord, it belongs not to my care,  Whether I die or live; To love and serve Thee is my share,  And this Thy grace must give. If life be long I will be glad,  That I may long obey; If short--yet why should I be sad  To soar to endless day? Christ leads me through no darker rooms  Than He went through before; He that unto God's kingdom comes,  Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet  Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet,  What will Thy glory be! Then shall I end my sad complaints,  And weary, sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints,  To sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that life is small,  The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,  And I shall be with him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The person who runs away exposes himself to that very danger more than a person who sits quietly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11074]]></link><description><![CDATA[The person who runs away exposes himself to that very danger more than a person who sits quietly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56700]]></link><description><![CDATA[smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now stiff on a pillar with a phallic air nelson stylites in Trafalgar square reminds the British what once they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19521]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now stiff on a pillar with a phallic air nelson stylites in Trafalgar square reminds the British what once they were.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Negotiations, in the view of the government, are the only constructive way to a solution of this question, ...
