Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer naught to hide Thee,  Ask for naught beside Thee. In Thine arm I rest me; foes who would molest me  Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking,  God dispels our fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us:  Jesus will not fail us. Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness,  Jesus, enters in: Those who love the Father, though the storms may gather,  Still have peace within; Yes, whate'er we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,  Jesus, priceless treasure!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tenacity is a pretty fair substitute for bravery, and the best form of tenacity I know is expressed in a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58941]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tenacity is a pretty fair substitute for bravery, and the best form of tenacity I know is expressed in a Danish fur trapper's principle" "The next mile is the only one a person really has to make."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A moderate addiction to money may not always be hurtful; but when taken in excess it is nearly always bad ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/588]]></link><description><![CDATA[A moderate addiction to money may not always be hurtful; but when taken in excess it is nearly always bad for the health.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today, music heralds... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36923]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today, music heralds... the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has great tranquillity of heart who cares neither for the praises nor the fault-finding of men.

He will easily be content and pacified, whose conscience is pure. You are not holier if you are praised, nor the more worthless if you are found fault with. What you are, that you are; neither by word can you be made greater than what you are in the sight of God.  Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ  [With thanks to Roger E. Doriot]    February 12, 1997  Ash Wednesday  Were Christians duly instructed how many lesser differences in mind and judgment and practice are really consistent with the nature, ends, and genuine fruit of the unity that Christ requires among them, it would undoubtedly prevail with them so as to manage themselves in their differences by mutual forbearance and condescension in their love, as not to contract the guilt of being disturbers or breakers of it. To speak plainly, among all the churches in the world which are free from idolatry and persecution, it is not different opinions, nor a difference in judgment about revealed truths, nor a different practice in sacred administrations, but pride, self-interest, love of honour, reputation, and dominion, with the influence of civil or political intrigues and considerations, that are the true cause of that defect of evangelical unity that is at this day amongst them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the most part we know what we're getting into, but we may get there and realize there's more to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32244]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the most part we know what we're getting into, but we may get there and realize there's more to it.
