Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain idea that every man is bound to be a critic of life, and to let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things, or projecting some plan for its general improvement. And the other half comes from the greedy notion that a man's life does consist, after all, in the abundance of things that he possesseth, and that it is, somehow or other, more respectable and pious to be always at work trying to make a larger living, than it is to lie on your back in the green pastures and beside the still waters, and thank God that you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think he's going to be All-Big Ten.

The affliction is light and temporary when compared with the all-surpassing and everlasting glory. So Paul, writing against a background of recent and (even for him) unparalleled tribulation, had assured his friends in Corinth a year or two before this that 'this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison' (2 Cor 4:17). It is not merely that the glory is a compensation for the suffering; it actually grows out of the suffering. There is an organic relation between the two for the believer as surely as there was for the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The proud he tam'd, the penitent he cheer'd: Nor to rebuke the rich offender fear'd.  His preaching much, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48083]]></link><description><![CDATA[The proud he tam'd, the penitent he cheer'd: Nor to rebuke the rich offender fear'd.  His preaching much, but more his practice wrought;   (A living sermon of the truths he taught:)    For this by rules severe his life he squar'd:     That all might see the doctrines which they heard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But when the sun in all his state, Illumed the eastern skies,  She passed through glory's morning gate,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11162]]></link><description><![CDATA[But when the sun in all his state, Illumed the eastern skies,  She passed through glory's morning gate,   And walked in Paradise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48594]]></link><description><![CDATA[Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9108]]></link><description><![CDATA[And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man likes his wife to be just clever enough to appreciate his cleverness, and just stupid enough to admire ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8865]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man likes his wife to be just clever enough to appreciate his cleverness, and just stupid enough to admire it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the NHL's repair year.
