If He should now come, would He find it in us? What fruits of faith have we to show? Do we look upon this life only as a short passage to a better? Do we believe that we must suffer with Jesus Christ before we can reign with Him? Do we consider this world as a deceitful appearance, and death as the entrance to true happiness? Do we live by faith? Does it animate us? Do we relish the eternal truths it presents us with? Are we as careful to nourish our souls with those truths as to maintain our bodies with proper diet? Do we accustom ourselves to see all things in the light of faith? Do we correct all our judgements by it?  Alas! The greater part of Christians think and act like mere heathens; if we judge (as we justly may) of their faith by their practice, we must conclude they have no faith at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfection. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46124]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfection.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60238]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[FIRE HAS LEFT THE HEARTH Fire has left the hearth Nautilus climbed from shell Perfume flowed from bottle Prisoner gone ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18359]]></link><description><![CDATA[FIRE HAS LEFT THE HEARTH Fire has left the hearth Nautilus climbed from shell Perfume flowed from bottle Prisoner gone from cell Butterfly flutterbied cocoon nor hand restrained by glove Jesus away from manger Cage left by Spirit Dove. Sparklings soared away from wand. Chick's egg become the bird. Omkar sung from out the throat Violin's notes now heard. Buddhist temple pine cone tabernacle'd godlet seed Shattered that it might manifest thousand forests of fir tree Eternal snow of mountain top now nurses meadow flowers. Shining never held by sun relentless melts ice towers. Love has left its spring the heart Is now a liquid pond Host stolen from the chalice consumed in mouth of God Starlight abandoned star a billion years ago Left that tonight you might have its sight and know Know Love is forever no drop of God ever dies Lover not bound by form of love God's bodies are not God's souls (to his wife and children on the death of Robert S) (Baba Hari Das: is the author of love is more powerful than lover for love is not bound by form).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Character matters; leadership descends from character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Character matters; leadership descends from character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worry about being better; bigger will take care of itself.

He thus definitely declared Himself to be the personal embodiment of the living God. Later the Apostle Paul applied this term to Christians... "Ye are God's building... Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" And again, "What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and that ye are not your own?" Paul taught that it is God's people who constitute the true church of God, and wherever they have fellowship in the Gospel, God is there. Moreover, he emphasized that as members of this true church it is our privilege to be "laborers together with God." It is our privilege to build upon the one foundation, Jesus Christ, with gold, silver, precious stones -- the kind of Christian service which abides for recognition at the judgment seat of Christ. Again, it is our responsibility to be consecrated for holy living and faithful service, "for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit; so we must shun evil, and, since we have been bought with a price, we must glorify God in body and spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fools make feasts, and wise men eat them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fools make feasts, and wise men eat them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bringing democratic control to the conduct of foreign policy requires a struggle merely to force the issue onto the public ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34581]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bringing democratic control to the conduct of foreign policy requires a struggle merely to force the issue onto the public agenda.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too poor for a bribe, and too proud to importune, He had not the method of making a fortune. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4902]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too poor for a bribe, and too proud to importune, He had not the method of making a fortune.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best gift you can give is a hug: one size fits all and no one ever minds if you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17406]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best gift you can give is a hug: one size fits all and no one ever minds if you return it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each problem that I solved became a rule, which served afterwards to solve other problems. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9487]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each problem that I solved became a rule, which served afterwards to solve other problems.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you hire only those people you understand, the company will never get people better than you are.
