For God reigns in the hearts of His servants; there is His Kingdom. The power of grace hath subdued all His enemies; there is His power. They serve Him night and day, and give Him thanks and praise; that is His glory. This is the religion and worship of God in the temple.

The same state of life it is, but not the same age. It is heaven in a looking glass, dark but yet true, representing the beauties of the soul, and the grace of God, and the images of His eternal glory, by the reality of a special presence.  ...Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living    October 12, 1997  Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845  If God reveal anything to you by any other instrument of His, be as ready to receive it as ever you were to receive any truth by my ministry: for I am verily persuaded, the Lord has more truth yet to break forth out of His holy Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Through ignorance of what is good and what is bad, the life of men is greatly perplexed. [Lat., Ignoratione rerum ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Through ignorance of what is good and what is bad, the life of men is greatly perplexed. [Lat., Ignoratione rerum bonarum et malarum maxime hominum vita vexatur.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58945]]></link><description><![CDATA[What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A rising mass movement attracts and holds a following not by its doctrine and promises but by the refuge it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56861]]></link><description><![CDATA[A rising mass movement attracts and holds a following not by its doctrine and promises but by the refuge it offers from the anxieties, barrenness and meaningless of an individual existence.
