Yet even then, we have not reached the centre. For when we worship, we are in God's presence, and it is what He says and does to us that is the all-important thing, not what we say and do toward Him. Since He is here and speaking to us, face to face, it is for us, in a hush of spirit, to listen for and to His voice, reproving counseling, encouraging, revealing His most blessed will for us; and, with diligence, to set about immediate obedience. This and this, upon which He has laid His hand, must go; and this and this to which He calls us must be at once begun. And here and now I start to it. That is the heart of worship, its very core and essence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always want more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29020]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always want more.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man's nature runs to, the more ought law to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man's nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who seeks for gain, must be at some expense. [Lat., Necesse est facere sumptum, qui quaerit lucrum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17139]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who seeks for gain, must be at some expense. [Lat., Necesse est facere sumptum, qui quaerit lucrum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let him who would enjoy a good future waste none of his present. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27824]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let him who would enjoy a good future waste none of his present.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's God--I'd have known Him by Blake's picture anywhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17719]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's God--I'd have known Him by Blake's picture anywhere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36487]]></link><description><![CDATA[Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am his mistress.

He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I thought we did a good job stopping their perimeter shooting.
