If life be long I will be glad,  That I may long obey; If short--yet why should I be sad  To soar to endless day? Christ leads me through no darker rooms  Than He went through before; He that unto God's kingdom comes,  Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet  Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet,  What will Thy glory be! Then shall I end my sad complaints,  And weary, sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints,  To sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that life is small,  The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,  And I shall be with him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work is the greatest thing in the world, so we should always save some of it for tomorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Work is the greatest thing in the world, so we should always save some of it for tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exasperation is the mind's way of spinning its wheels until patience restores traction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Exasperation is the mind's way of spinning its wheels until patience restores traction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Facts and truth really don't have much to do with each other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Facts and truth really don't have much to do with each other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearance, as though they were realities and are often more influenced ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20847]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearance, as though they were realities and are often more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm very pleased...It's awesome!
