I see that morning in Thy convert's tears,  Fresh as the dew, which but this downing wears.  I smell her spices; and her ointment yields  As rich a scent as the now primrosed fields:  The Day-star smiles, and light, with Thee deceased,  Now shines in all the chambers of the East.  ...

The old man told him that he worshipped the fire only, and acknowledged no other God. At which answer Abraham grew so zealously angry, that he threw the old man out of his tent, and exposed him to all the evils of the night and an unguarded condition. When the old man was gone, God called to Abraham, and asked him where the stranger was. He replied, "I thrust him away, because he did not worship thee." God answered him, "I have suffered him these hundred years, though he dishonoured me; and wouldst thou not endure him one night?".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hun Sen has found himself under pressure and he is doing the minimum possible to keep the donors happy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hun Sen has found himself under pressure and he is doing the minimum possible to keep the donors happy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I walk slowly, but I never walk backward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48384]]></link><description><![CDATA[I walk slowly, but I never walk backward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was the South Ozone National Bank looking as though it had been waiting for me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13317]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was the South Ozone National Bank looking as though it had been waiting for me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost. -J.R.R.

The grosser manifestations of these sins -- egotism, exhibitionism, self-promotion -- are strangely tolerated in Christian leaders, even in circles of impeccable orthodoxy. They are so much in evidence as actually, for many people, to become identified with the gospel. I trust it is not a cynical observation to say that they appear these days to be a requisite for popularity in some sections of the Church visible. Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who marries a woman to educate her falls a victim to the same fallacy as the woman who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27122]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who marries a woman to educate her falls a victim to the same fallacy as the woman who marries a man to reform him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, if you smoke after sex you're doing it too fast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56695]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember, if you smoke after sex you're doing it too fast.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People should watch out for three things: avoid a major addiction, don't get so deeply into debt that it controls ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66397]]></link><description><![CDATA[People should watch out for three things: avoid a major addiction, don't get so deeply into debt that it controls your life, and don't start a family before you're ready to settle down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's the most important thing in the world?
