Who goeth in the way which Christ hath gone Is much more sure to meet with Him than one   That traveleth by-ways; Perhaps my God, though He be far before,  May turn, and take me by the hand, and more,   May strengthen my decays. Yet, Lord, instruct us to improve our fast By starving sin, and taking such repast   As may our faults control; That ev'ry man may revel at his door, Not in his parlor -- banquetting the poor,   And among those, his soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stories serve the purpose of consolidating whatever gains people or their leaders have made or imagine they have made in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31489]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stories serve the purpose of consolidating whatever gains people or their leaders have made or imagine they have made in their existing journey thorough the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6923]]></link><description><![CDATA[Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God's goodness, as if you had seen it, and all things, new-created upon your account: and under the sense of so great a blessing, let your joyful heart praise and magnify so good and glorious a Creator.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Profit is the ignition system of our economic engine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Profit is the ignition system of our economic engine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12937]]></link><description><![CDATA[Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20269]]></link><description><![CDATA[An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Middle age is when you're sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Middle age is when you're sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn't for you]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can tell you categorically that is not happening. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33289]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can tell you categorically that is not happening.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64802]]></link><description><![CDATA[One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on the Bible:  Never was a book so full of incredible sayings -- everywhere the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7280]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on the Bible:  Never was a book so full of incredible sayings -- everywhere the sense of mystery dominates; unless you feel that mystery, all becomes prosaic -- nothing about God is prosaic.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  August 26, 2000 Continuing a short series on the Bible:   Have you noticed this? Whatever need or trouble you are in, there is always something to help you in your Bible, if only you go on reading till you come to the word God specially has for you. I have noticed this often. Sometimes the special word is in the portion you would naturally read, or in the Psalm for the day, ... but you must go on till you find it, for it is always somewhere. You will know it the moment you come to it, for it will rest your heart.   ... Amy Carmichael, Edges of His Ways  August 27, 2000 Feast of Monica, Mother of Augustine of Hippo, 387 Concluding a short series on the Bible:   Christ is the master; the Scriptures are only the servant.   ... Martin Luther August 28, 2000 Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  Too late came I to love thee, O thou Beauty so ancient and so fresh, yea too late came I to love thee. And behold, thou wert within me, and I out of myself, where I made search for thee: I ugly rushed headlong upon those beautiful things thou hast made. Thou indeed wert with me; but I was not with thee: these beauties kept me far enough from thee: even those, which unless they were in thee, should not be at all.  ... St. Augustine, Confessions August 29, 2000 The Divine Perfections. How shall I praise th' eternal God,  That Infinite Unknown? Who can ascend his high abode,   Or venture near his throne? The great invisible! He dwells  Conceal'd in dazzling light: But his all-searching eye reveals  The secrets of the night. Those watchful eyes that never sleep,  Survey the world around; His wisdom is the boundless deep,  Where all our thoughts are drown'd.  He knows no shadow of a change,  Nor alters his decrees; Firm as a rock his truth remains,   To guard his promises.  Justice, upon a dreadful throne,  Maintains the rights of God; While mercy sends her pardons down,  Bought with a Saviour's blood. Now to my soul immortal King,   Speak some forgiving word; Then `twill be double joy to sing  The glories of my Lord.   ... Isaac Watts, Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Book II, #166  August 30, 2000  As for what the Church thinks and says, what influence does that have on the handling of American politics, the conduct of American education, the regulation of marriage and divorce, on sex and drink, on how industrial disputes are settled, on how we carry on business? As a plain matter of fact, religion in this country is generally regarded as a tolerated pastime for such people as happen to like to indulge in occasional godly exercises -- as a strictly private matter in an increasingly close-knit and socially acting society -- in other words, as something that does not count. I should like to see the Church recognize that it has been pushed into the realm of the non-essentials, and to persuade it to fight like fury for the right and the duty to bring every act of America and Americans before the bar of God's judgment. [Christian leaders] are making valiant claim to such a right and duty; but the great mass of Church members are content to regard the Church as a conglomerate of private culture clubs, nice for christenings, weddings and funerals. Most Church members readily agree with the unchurched majority that it is not the proper business of the Church to criticize America or Americans.  ... Bernard Iddings Bell, God is Not Dead August 31, 2000 Feast of Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 651 Commemoration of Cuthburga, Founding Abbess of Wimborne, c.725 Commemoration of John Bunyan, Spiritual Writer, 1688   Christians are like the flowers in a garden, that have each of them the dew of Heaven, which, being shaken with the wind, they let fall at each other's roots, whereby they are jointly nourished, and become nourishers of each other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're all stumbling towards the light with varying degrees of grace at any given moment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18098]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're all stumbling towards the light with varying degrees of grace at any given moment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know who critics are?--the men who have failed in literature and art. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10742]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know who critics are?--the men who have failed in literature and art.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4238]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger begins with folly, and ends with repentance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44232]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger begins with folly, and ends with repentance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is more or less bunk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19331]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is more or less bunk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems to be very hard and -- if that would do any good -- might be a just matter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8136]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seems to be very hard and -- if that would do any good -- might be a just matter of complaint, that we are fallen into so profane and skeptical an age, which takes a pleasure and a pride in unraveling almost all the received principles both of religion and reason, so that we are put many times to prove those things which can hardly be made plainer than they are of themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Studies serve for delight, for ornaments, and for ability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1437]]></link><description><![CDATA[Studies serve for delight, for ornaments, and for ability.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truly noble mind has no resentments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48944]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truly noble mind has no resentments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tyranny destroys or strengthens the individual; freedom enervates him, until he becomes no more than a puppet.
