A whole life long didst thou suffer that I too might be saved; and yet thy suffering is not yet at an end; but this too wilt thou endure, saving and redeeming me, this patient suffering of having to do with me, I who so often go astray from the right path, or even when I remained on the straight path stumbled along it or crept so slowly along the right path. Infinite patience, suffering of infinite patience. How many times have I not been impatient, wished to give up and forsake everything; wished to take the terribly easy way out, despair: but thou didst not lose patience. Oh, I cannot say what thy chosen servant says: that he filled up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in his flesh; no, I can only say that I increased thy sufferings, added new ones to those which thou didst once suffer in order to save me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fair, the chaste, and unexpressive she. -As You Like It.

Ye blessed souls at rest, Who ran this earthly race, And now, from sin released, Behold the Saviour's face,  God's praises sound,  As in his sight,  With sweet delight,  Ye do abound.  Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King. And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing;  Take what he gives  And praise him still,  Through good or ill,  Who ever lives!  My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above: And with a well-tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love!  Let all thy days  Till life shall end,  Whate'er he send,  Be filled with praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue, the strength and beauty of the soul, Is the best gift of Heaven: a happiness  That even above ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60763]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue, the strength and beauty of the soul, Is the best gift of Heaven: a happiness  That even above the smiles and frowns of fate   Exalts great Nature's favourites: a wealth    That ne'er encumbers, nor can be transferr'd.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48213]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride is an admission of weakness; it secretly fears all competition and dreads all rivals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If this provision became law, it could literally lead to the privatization of millions of acres of public land, including ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32773]]></link><description><![CDATA[If this provision became law, it could literally lead to the privatization of millions of acres of public land, including national park and national forest land.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're excited to be at home.

The prophets should have taught us a different lesson. They should have led us to feel that it was a solemn duty, not to conceal, but to bring forward all the evidence which proves, not that one country is better than another, or one portion of the church better than another, but that there is a principle of decay, a tendency to apostasy in all, and that no comfort can come from merely balancing symptoms of good here against symptoms of evil there, no comfort from considering whether we are a little less contentious, a little less idolatrous than our neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To have a great man for an intimate friend seems pleasant to those who have never tried it; those who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64186]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have a great man for an intimate friend seems pleasant to those who have never tried it; those who have, fear it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hope of impunity is the greatest inducement to do wrong. [Lat., Maxima illecebra est peccandi impunitatis spes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19775]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hope of impunity is the greatest inducement to do wrong. [Lat., Maxima illecebra est peccandi impunitatis spes.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep quiet.
