And every human heart that breaks,  In prison-cell or yard, Is as that broken box that gave  Its treasure to the Lord, And filled the unclean leper's house  With the scent of costliest nard. Ah! happy they whose hearts can break  And peace of pardon win! How else may man make straight his plan  And cleanse his soul from sin? How else but through a broken heart  May Lord Christ enter in?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Openly questioning the way the world works and challenging the power of the powerful is not an activity customarily rewarded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52753]]></link><description><![CDATA[Openly questioning the way the world works and challenging the power of the powerful is not an activity customarily rewarded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A single lie destroys a whole reputation for integrity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24791]]></link><description><![CDATA[A single lie destroys a whole reputation for integrity]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thirty is not an age for a woman anymore. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thirty is not an age for a woman anymore.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Making a success of the job at hand is the best step toward the kind you want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21662]]></link><description><![CDATA[Making a success of the job at hand is the best step toward the kind you want.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All I wanted was a refund, but instead we got treated like criminals.

We are personalities in the making, limited, and grappling with things too high for us. Obviously we, at very best, will make many mistakes, but these mistakes need not be sins. Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence. Our intentions may be very good, but, because the intelligence is limited, the action may turn out to be a mistake -- a mistake, but not necessarily a sin, for sin comes out of a wrong intention. And therefore the action carries a sense of incompleteness and frustration, but not of guilt. Victorious living does not mean perfect living in the sense of living without flaw, but it does mean adequate living, and that can be consistent with many mistakes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4708]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the case of good books, the point is not how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Day's lustrous eyes grow heavy in sweet death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14262]]></link><description><![CDATA[Day's lustrous eyes grow heavy in sweet death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's braggin about his new Jordan'sThe baby just ran out of milkHe's buyin gold every two weeksThe baby just ran ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52970]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's braggin about his new Jordan'sThe baby just ran out of milkHe's buyin gold every two weeksThe baby just ran out of PampersHe's buyin clothes for his new girland the baby just ran out of medicineYou ask for money for the baby?The daddy just ran out the doorGIRL!

That man is perfect in faith who can come to God in the utter dearth of his feelings and his desires, without a glow or an aspiration, with the weight of low thoughts, failures, neglects, and wandering forgetfulness, and say to Him, "Thou art my refuge, because Thou art my home". Such a faith will not lead to presumption. The man who can pray such a prayer will know better than another that God is not mocked; that He is not a man that He should repent; that tears and entreaties will not work on Him to the breach of one of His laws; that for God to give a man, because he asked for it, that which was not in harmony with His laws of truth and right, would be to damn him -- to cast him into the outer darkness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8212</guid></item></channel></rss>
