He has enough light to light him on his way, but there are a great many gaps in his knowledge. When he says, "One day we shall understand", he is by no means always uttering a pious platitude. Quite frequently he is voicing a solid conviction, a genuine facet of hope. At present his vision is severely limited, and that is probably just as well, if his sanity is to be preserved. But when he is free of the limitations of temporal life, he has every hope of being able to know as surely as he is at present known.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For Lycidas is dead, dead ere his prime, Young Lycidas, and hath not left his peer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50651]]></link><description><![CDATA[For Lycidas is dead, dead ere his prime, Young Lycidas, and hath not left his peer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do little things as though they were great, because of the majesty of Jesus Christ who does them in us, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do little things as though they were great, because of the majesty of Jesus Christ who does them in us, and who lives our life: and do the greatest things as though they were little and easy, because of His omnipotence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot teach old dogs new tricks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58736]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot teach old dogs new tricks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate the outdoors.
