You would be surprised if you knew how soon one begins to feel the shortness of the tether: of how many things, even in middle life, we have to say, "No time for that", "Too late now" and "Not for me". But Nature herself forbids you [young people] to share that experience. A more Christian attitude, which can be attained at any age, is that of leaving futurity in God's hands. We may as well, for God will certainly retain it whether we leave it to Him or not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone has highs and lows that they have to learn from, but every morning I start off with a good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone has highs and lows that they have to learn from, but every morning I start off with a good head on my shoulders, saying to myself, 'It's going to be a good day!'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst of rebels never arm To do their king or country harm,  But draw their swords to do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53150]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst of rebels never arm To do their king or country harm,  But draw their swords to do them good,   As doctors cure by letting blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're very athletic, and they run the floor.

Some truth taught in Scripture, some part of the divine revelation, is apprehended, and the heart responds to it and accepts it. As it is dwelt upon, expounded, defended; its power and beauty increasingly influence those affected by it. Another side of truth, another view of revelation, also contained in Scripture, seems to weaken, even to contradict, the truth that has been found to be so effectual. and in jealous fear for the doctrine accepted and taught, the balancing truth is minimized, explained away, and even denied. So on a portion of revelation, on a part of the Word, a sect is founded, good and useful because it preaches and practices Divine truth, but limited and unbalanced because it does not see all truth, nor frankly accept the whole of Scripture. Its members are not only deprived of the full use of all Scripture, but are cut off from the fellowship of many saints, who are less limited than they, or limited in another direction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But in every matter the consensus of opinion among all nations is to be regarded as the law of nature. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44937]]></link><description><![CDATA[But in every matter the consensus of opinion among all nations is to be regarded as the law of nature. [Lat., Omni autem in re consensio omnium gentium lex naturae putanda est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Johann is so unselfish that he sometimes hurts himself.

And then the tide of worship comes in, and it's all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[La ligne, avec sa canne, est un long instrument, Dont le plus mince bout tient un petit reptile,  Et ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16116]]></link><description><![CDATA[La ligne, avec sa canne, est un long instrument, Dont le plus mince bout tient un petit reptile,  Et dont l'autre est tenu par un grand imbecile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16116</guid></item></channel></rss>
