We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An imitative creature is man; whoever is foremost, leads the herd. [Ger., Der Mensch ist ein nachahmendes Geschopf.  Und ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20573]]></link><description><![CDATA[An imitative creature is man; whoever is foremost, leads the herd. [Ger., Der Mensch ist ein nachahmendes Geschopf.  Und wer Vorderste ist, fuhrt die Heerde.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have declared that Syria is innocent of this crime, and I am ready to follow up action to bring ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29895]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have declared that Syria is innocent of this crime, and I am ready to follow up action to bring to trial any Syrian who could be proved by concrete evidence to have had connection with this crime,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Praise undeserved s satire in disguise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Praise undeserved s satire in disguise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am really looking forward to returning to Dubai as always.

Why spill this golden splendor out across The western hills, and light the silver lamp Of eve? Why give me eyes to see, and soul To love so strong and deep? Then, with a pang This brightness stabs me through, and wakes within Rebellious voice to cry against all death? Why set this hunger for eternity To gnaw my heartstrings through, if death ends all? If death ends all, then evil must be good, Wrong must be right, and beauty ugliness.  God is a Judas who betrays His Son, And with a kiss, damns all the world to hell, -- If Christ rose not again.   ... Unknown soldier, killed in World War I  August 9, 2002 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921 Concluding a short series of verse on Christ: With this ambiguous earth his dealings have been told us. These abide:    The signal to a maid, the human birth,    The lesson, and the young Man crucified. But not a star of all the innumerable host of stars has heard    How he administered this terrestrial ball.    Our race has kept their Lord's entrusted Word. Of his earth-visiting feet none knows the secret, cherished, perilous,    The terrible, shamefast, frightened, whispered, sweet,    Heart-shattering secret of his way with us. No planet knows that this, our wayside planet, carrying land and wave,    Love and life multiplied, and pain and bliss,    Bears, as its chief treasure, one forsaken grave. Nor, in our little day, may his devices with the heavens be guessed,    His pilgrimage to thread the Milky Way    Or his bestowal there be manifest. But in the eternities, doubtless we shall compare    Together, hear a million alien Gospels, in what guise    He trod the Pleiades, the Lyre, and the Bear. O, be prepared, my soul! To read the inconceivable, to scan    The million forms of God those stars unroll    When, in our turn, we show to them a Man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Henceforth, I'll bear Affliction till it do cry out itself,  'Enough, enough, and die.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1661]]></link><description><![CDATA[Henceforth, I'll bear Affliction till it do cry out itself,  'Enough, enough, and die.']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5410]]></link><description><![CDATA[If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries.
