Work and worship literally become one. Man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him for ever; and man carries out that function when he does what God sent him into the world to do. Work well done rises like a hymn of praise to God. This means that the doctor on his rounds, the scientist in his laboratory, the teacher in his classroom, the musician at his music, the artist at his canvas, the shop assistant at his counter, the typist at her typewriter, the housewife in her kitchen -- all who are doing the work of the world as it should be done are joining in a great act of worship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here's metal more attractive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51266]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here's metal more attractive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, whatever, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, whatever,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Shape of Things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32732]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Shape of Things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God brings men into deep waters not to drown them, but to cleanse them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53697]]></link><description><![CDATA[God brings men into deep waters not to drown them, but to cleanse them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whitewash'd wall, the nicely sanded floor, The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door;  The chest contriv'd a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19622]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whitewash'd wall, the nicely sanded floor, The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door;  The chest contriv'd a double debt to pay,   A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Profundity of thought belongs to youth, clarity of thought to old age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Profundity of thought belongs to youth, clarity of thought to old age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dear bells! how sweet the sound of village bells When on the undulating air they swim! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dear bells! how sweet the sound of village bells When on the undulating air they swim!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He said if (the U.S. team) loses, he can say he did his best and that he was prepared for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35852]]></link><description><![CDATA[He said if (the U.S. team) loses, he can say he did his best and that he was prepared for it.

Neither canst thou be delivered or eased by any remedy or comfort; but so long as it pleaseth God, thou oughtest to bear it. For God will have thee learn to suffer tribulation without comfort, and that thou subject thyself wholly to Him, and by tribulation become more humble. No man hath so cordial a feeling of the Passion of Christ, as he that hath suffered the like himself. The Cross therefore is always ready, and everywhere waits for thee. Thou canst not escape it, whithersoever thou runnest; for wheresoever thou goest, thou carriest thyself with thee, and shalt ever find thyself. Both above and below, without and within, which way so ever thou dost turn thee, everywhere thou shalt find the Cross; and everywhere of necessity thou must hold fast patience, if thou wilt have inward peace, and enjoy an everlasting crown.  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ June 8, 1996 Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  The charm of the words of great men, those grand sayings which are recognized as true as soon as heard, is this, that you recognize them as wisdom which has passed across your own mind. You feel that they are your own thoughts come back to you, else you would not at once admit them. "All of that has floated across me before, only I could not say it, and did not feel confident enough to assert it: or had not conviction enough to put it into words." Yes, God spoke to you what He did to them: only, they believed it, said it, trusted the Word within them; and you did not. Be sure that often when you say, "It is only my own poor thought, and I am alone," the real correcting thought is this: "Alone, but the Father is with me, and therefore I can live that lonely conviction.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself.
