Let us not think of it vaguely, and fall into the heretical fancy that the Son of God became man merely to transact certain things which were necessary to secure the salvation of men, and that after this object was achieved His human nature recedes into the background and impenetrable obscurity. No, it is not so; all-important as His work on earth was -- the only foundation of our hope and blessedness -- let us adore the revealed mystery that God gave us His Son, never to recall Him, as it were, and take Him away from us; He spared Him not and gave Him to us, allowing Him to become man, exalting Him as the Son of Man, enthroning Him because of his obedience unto death, and giving unto Him as the Son of Man all power in heaven and earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always keep your composure.

For when the heart really pants and longs after God, its prayer is a praying, as moved and animated by the Spirit of God; it is the breath or inspiration of God, stirring, moving and opening itself in the heart. For though the early nature, our old man, can oblige or accustom himself to take heavenly words at certain times into his mouth, yet this is a certain truth, that nothing ever did, or can have the least desire or tendency to ascend to heaven, but that which came down from heaven; and therefore nothing in the heart can pray, aspire, and long after God, but the Spirit of God moving and stirring in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope is the dream of a soul awake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19742]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope is the dream of a soul awake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fishmonger's wife may feed of a conger; but a serving-man's wife may starve for hunger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20145]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fishmonger's wife may feed of a conger; but a serving-man's wife may starve for hunger.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rest is a good thing, but boredom is its brother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54021]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rest is a good thing, but boredom is its brother.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One must not cheat anybody, not even the world of one's triumph. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5825]]></link><description><![CDATA[One must not cheat anybody, not even the world of one's triumph.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age is an excellent time for outrage.
