The "joy" that was set before Jesus was, we feel, knowing of the riches which would come to his brethren out of his death. In short, we are his joy, set before him when on the cross. As we have seen, only as the circle of the love of Jesus becomes world wide and as big as history will it be complete.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be at all is to be religious more or less ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53777]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be at all is to be religious more or less]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is now incompetent.

For that life is won only from death and the good only from the evil is a piece of thoroughly worldly knowledge which is not strange to the Christian. But all this has nothing to do with the temptation of which Christ speaks. It simply does not touch the reality which is meant here. The temptation of which the whole Bible speaks does not have to do with the testing of my strength, for it is of the very essence of temptation in the Bible that all my strength -- to my horror, and without my being able to do anything about it -- is turned against me; really all my powers, including my good and pious powers (the strength of my faith), fall into the hands of the enemy power and are now led into the field against me. Before there can be any testing of my powers, I have been robbed of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Republicans want local control and management of our schools, the president and the Democrats want Washington mandates.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot run away from weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61349]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot run away from weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[the expectation is there will be a fairly strong stream of earnings disappointments in the second quarter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28652]]></link><description><![CDATA[the expectation is there will be a fairly strong stream of earnings disappointments in the second quarter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And it's kind of hard to prioritize things when you're not sure you've got enough money to run your everyday ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39281]]></link><description><![CDATA[And it's kind of hard to prioritize things when you're not sure you've got enough money to run your everyday things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5879]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherein is the use of getting rid of one thorn out of many? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50390]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wherein is the use of getting rid of one thorn out of many?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50390</guid></item></channel></rss>
