Not always; sometimes He, Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. And "by still waters" ? No, not always so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waves and billows go. But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by, And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." So, where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.  ...

It is thy duty to have a good hope that thou wilt attain the victory: but thou must not fall into security lest thou become slothful or lifted up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65626]]></link><description><![CDATA[Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dress does not give knowledge. [Sp., La ropa no da ciencia.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2774]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dress does not give knowledge. [Sp., La ropa no da ciencia.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63027]]></link><description><![CDATA[For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What sweeter gift from nature has fallen to the lot of man than his children? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48891]]></link><description><![CDATA[What sweeter gift from nature has fallen to the lot of man than his children?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men, as well as women, are much oftener led by their hearts than bytheir understandings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22051]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men, as well as women, are much oftener led by their hearts than bytheir understandings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All people, however fanatical they may be in their zeal to disparage and to fight capitalism, implicitly pay homage to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15721]]></link><description><![CDATA[All people, however fanatical they may be in their zeal to disparage and to fight capitalism, implicitly pay homage to it by passionately clamoring for the products it turns out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been the longest week ever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30259]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's been the longest week ever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Through zeal, knowledge is gotten; through lack of zeal, knowledge is lost; let a man who knows the double path ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62612]]></link><description><![CDATA[Through zeal, knowledge is gotten; through lack of zeal, knowledge is lost; let a man who knows the double path of gain and loss thus place himself that knowledge may grow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never forget posterity when devising a policy.
