But this life is not a season to be always taking wages in; our work is not yet done; we are not always to abide in this mount; we must down again into the battle -- fight again, cry again, complain again. Shall the soul be thought now to have lost its assurance? Not at all. It had before assurance with joy, triumph, and exultation; it hath it now, or may have, with wrestling, cries, tears, and supplications. And a man's assurance may be as good, as true, when he lies on the earth with a sense of sin, as when he is carried up to the third heaven with a sense of love and foretaste of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53031]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is merely an illusion, although a very persistent one]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been telling our clients that their portfolios should be over-weighted in investment services and credit cards.
