There do I dwell, in weakness and in power;  Not broken or divided, saith our God!  In your strait garden plot I come to flowers  About your porch My Vine,  Meek, fruitful, doth entwine;  Waits, at the threshold, Love's appointed hour. I come in the little things, Saith the Lord: Yea! on the glancing wings Of eager birds, the softly pattering feet Of furred and gentle beasts, I come to meet Your hear and wayward heart. In brown bright eyes That peep from out the brake, I stand confest. On every nest Where feathery Patience is content to brood And leaves her pleasure for the high emprize Of motherhood -- There doth My Godhead rest. I come in the little things,  Saith the Lord:  My starry wings I do forsake,  Love's highway of humility to take:  Meekly I fit my stature to your need.  In beggar's part  About your gates I shall not cease to plead -- As man, to speak with man -- Till by such art  I shall achieve My Immemorial Plan,  Pass the low lintel of the human heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We play with our helmets and you see it on the scoreboard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39139]]></link><description><![CDATA[We play with our helmets and you see it on the scoreboard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Chinese say that we Europeans have one eye, they themselves two, all the world else is blinde. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14827]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Chinese say that we Europeans have one eye, they themselves two, all the world else is blinde.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.

The question was whether they could be admitted without accepting the teaching and undergoing the rite. It was that question which was settled by the acknowledgement that they had received the Holy Spirit... The difficulty today is that Christians acknowledge that others have the Spirit, and yet do not recognize that they ought to be, and must be -- because spiritually they are -- in communion with one another. Men who hold a theory of the Church which excludes from communion those whom they admit to have the Spirit of Christ simply proclaim that their theory is in flat contradiction to the spiritual fact.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every drunken skipper trusts to Providence.
