Is not your love what it is because He put it into your heart first? Have you not often been cross with them? Sometimes unjust to them? Whence came the returning love that rose from unknown depths in your being, and swept away the anger and the injustice? You did not create that love. Probably you were not good enough to send for it by prayer. But it came. God sent it. He makes you love your children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, woman! in our hours of ease, Uncertain, coy, and hard to please. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, woman! in our hours of ease, Uncertain, coy, and hard to please.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64429]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We got in early, but that's not a factor.

We cannot form a conception of Eternal Life. What we imagine is ever simply of the earth, temporal, worldly. Nor could we know anything about our eternal life if it had not appeared in Jesus Christ. In him we realize that we were created for the eternal life. If we ask, what is this eternal life? what sense is there in thinking about it if we can have no conception of it?, the answer is, "It is life with God, in God, from God; life in perfect fellowship." Therefore it is a life in love, it is love itself. It is a life without the nature of death and sin, hence without sorrow, pain, anxiety, care, misery. To know this suffices to make one rejoice in eternal life. If there were no eternal life, this life of time would be without meaning, goal, or purpose, without significance, without seriousness and without joy. It would be nothing. That our life does not end in nothing, but that eternal life awaits us, is the glad message of Jesus Christ. He came to give us this promise as a light in this dark world. A Christian is a man who has become certain of eternal life through Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Triumphal arch, that fill'st the sky When storms prepare to part,  I ask not proud Philosophy   To ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52945]]></link><description><![CDATA[Triumphal arch, that fill'st the sky When storms prepare to part,  I ask not proud Philosophy   To teach me what thou art.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All wealth is the product of labor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23916]]></link><description><![CDATA[All wealth is the product of labor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know which one of us hates to lose more.
