It is only when we see things in the light of God that we see what things are really important, and what things are not. These things seem vastly important, things like ambition, and prestige, and money and gain, lose all their value and importance when they are seen in the light of God. Pleasures and habits and social customs which seem permissible enough, are seen for the dangerous things they are when they are seen in the light of God. Things which seem evils, hardship, toil, discipline, unpopularity, even persecution, are seen in their glory when they are seen in the light of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The job of the poet is to render the world--to see it and report it without loss, without perversion.

For if we do not trust as much as we pray, we fail in full worship to our Lord in our prayer; and also we hinder and hurt ourselves. The reason is that we do not know truly that our Lord is the ground from which our prayer springeth; nor do we know that it is given us by his grace and his love. If we knew this, it would make us trust to have of our Lord's gifts all that we desire. For I am sure that no man asketh mercy and grace with sincerity, without mercy and grace being given to him first.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43624]]></link><description><![CDATA[The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate quotation.
