To our amazement, it works out. And then we settle down. We have had our own first-hand and irrefutable experience. But, instead of opening the windows to the glory of the sunshine so evidently there, instead of being incited to a hugeness of faith by what Christ has already done for us, we can't believe that there can be anything more, or that even He can work, for us, anything better. That first foretaste satisfies us. And so we camp for life out on the confines of the Kingdom, and never press on to inherit what is there and meant for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A joy shared is a joy doubled ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23390]]></link><description><![CDATA[A joy shared is a joy doubled]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012   The centre of trouble is not the turbulent appetites -- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6377]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012   The centre of trouble is not the turbulent appetites -- though they are troublesome enough.

It was the God, in fact, whom the whole of the life of Jesus set forth, to the astonishment of those among whom He moved. Loving still, He brought God to men in the same unmistakable way. The divine love that through Jesus had found the public an Zacchaeus had now through the risen Christ found Paul the Pharisee. Hence forward the central facts of life for Paul were that while he was yet a sinner God had found and forgiven him, and that this was the work of Jesus Christ, in whose love the love of God had become plain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out, you impostors! Quack salving, cheating mountebanks! your skill  Is to make sound men sick, and sick men kill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Out, you impostors! Quack salving, cheating mountebanks! your skill  Is to make sound men sick, and sick men kill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adversity reminds men of religion. [Lat., Adverse res admonent religionum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/695]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adversity reminds men of religion. [Lat., Adverse res admonent religionum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never lie to someone who trusts you, and never trust someone who lies to you!! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62893]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never lie to someone who trusts you, and never trust someone who lies to you!!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning dew, And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51107]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rose is sweetest wash'd with morning dew, And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as there is a chance of the world getting through its troubles, I hold that a reasonable man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5847]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as there is a chance of the world getting through its troubles, I hold that a reasonable man must behave as though he were sure of it.
