It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[High finance isn't burglary or obtaining money by false pretenses, but rather a judicious selection from the best features of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15694]]></link><description><![CDATA[High finance isn't burglary or obtaining money by false pretenses, but rather a judicious selection from the best features of those fine arts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Necessity is not an established fact, but an interpretation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Necessity is not an established fact, but an interpretation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you learn not to want things so badly, life comes to you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52127]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you learn not to want things so badly, life comes to you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I die content, I die for the liberty of my country. [Fr., Je meurs content, je meurs pour la liberte ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45805]]></link><description><![CDATA[I die content, I die for the liberty of my country. [Fr., Je meurs content, je meurs pour la liberte de mon pays.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's going to be real nice.

It is because His sufferings, His death and cross, were the fulness of His victory over all the works of the devil. Not an evil in flesh and blood, not a misery of life, not a chain of death, not a power of hell and darkness, but were all baffled, broken, and overcome by the process of a suffering and dying Christ. Well, therefore, may the cross of Christ be the glory of Christians!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am glad to see that men are getting their rights, but I want women to get theirs, and while ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54275]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am glad to see that men are getting their rights, but I want women to get theirs, and while the water is stirring I will step into the pool.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Technology is fine. . ., but that popular vision of the future, where you plug somebody in and leave them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60858]]></link><description><![CDATA[Technology is fine. . ., but that popular vision of the future, where you plug somebody in and leave them there and they don't get out and interact with actual flesh-and-blood humans -- you know the answer before I say it -- that's not good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every wish Is like a prayer--with God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48044]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every wish Is like a prayer--with God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out of nothing I have created a strange new universe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Out of nothing I have created a strange new universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The universe is like a safe to which there is a combination.
