it cures the poor of sadness, and the rich of presumption; it keeps the oppressed from feeling desolate, and the prosperous from insolence; it averts sadness from the lonely, and dissipation from social life; it is as warmth in winter and as refreshing dew in summer; it knows how to abound and how to suffer want, how to profit alike by honour and by contempt; it accepts gladness and sadness with an even mind, and fills men's hearts with a wondrous sweetness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgivness is The ultimate sacrifice.Eloquence belongs, To the conqueror. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgivness is The ultimate sacrifice.Eloquence belongs, To the conqueror.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I expect that on Wednesday we will be asking people to inform the inquiry as to whether they have any ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38438]]></link><description><![CDATA[I expect that on Wednesday we will be asking people to inform the inquiry as to whether they have any wish to examine the prime minister in relation to his statement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have no enemies, you are apt to be in the same predicament in regard to friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13867]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have no enemies, you are apt to be in the same predicament in regard to friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is one long process of getting tired. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24952]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is one long process of getting tired.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the still small voice that the soul heeds;

What ought to result from it? What is the point and peak and heart and centre of it? Is it the offering we bring to God of praise and adoration, of thanksgiving and sacrifice, our praise, our sacrifice to Him? That has its place, not legitimate only, but imperative. And yet to put that in the foreground is to make the service fundamentally man-centered and subjective, which, face to face with God, is surely almost unthinkably unseemly. Or is the ideal we should hold before us that other extreme, so ardently pressed on us these days, that, face to face with the Lord God Almighty, High and Holy, it is for us to forget ourselves and -- leaving behind our petty little human joys and needs and sins and risings above thanksgiving and petition and confession -- to lose ourselves in an awed adoration of God's naked and essential being, blessing and praising Him, not even for what he has done for us, and been for us, but for what, in Himself, He is. To me, that seems not an advance, but a pathetic throw-back to the primitive of Brahmanism. We shall not learn to know God better, nor how to worship Him more worthily, by careful rubbing out from memory every wonder of Christ's revelation of Him.
