A Grasshopper, perishing with famine, passedby and earnestly begged for a little food. The Ants inquired ofhim, Why did you not treasure up food during the summer?' Hereplied, I had not leisure enough. I passed the days insinging. They then said in derision: If you were foolish enoughto sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed in thewinter.It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If God hath made this world so fair,Where sin and death abound,How beautiful beyond compareWill paradise be found!. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11293]]></link><description><![CDATA[If God hath made this world so fair,Where sin and death abound,How beautiful beyond compareWill paradise be found!.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To make laws that man cannot, and will not obey, serves to bring all law into contempt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47179]]></link><description><![CDATA[To make laws that man cannot, and will not obey, serves to bring all law into contempt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best biographies leave their readers with a sense of having all but entered into a second life and of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4216]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best biographies leave their readers with a sense of having all but entered into a second life and of having come to know another human being in some ways better than he knew himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730   I have held many things in my hands, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730   I have held many things in my hands, and have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can create our own history, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37012]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can create our own history,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only passions, great passions can elevate the soul to great things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64890]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only passions, great passions can elevate the soul to great things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people are scared of technology ...

Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ... Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus. Character is supreme in life, and hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing -- so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code, but a character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time extracts various values from a painter's work.

This is a disastrous illusion. Christians cannot behave as though time were unreal. God gives us time, but not an infinite amount of time. It is His purpose that the Gospel should be preached to all nations, and that all men should be brought into one family in Jesus Christ. His purpose looks to a real End, and therefore requires of us real decisions. If we misconstrue His patience, and think that there is an infinity of time for debate while we perpetuate before the world the scandal of our dismemberment of the Body of Christ, we deceive ourselves. In an issue regarding the doing of the will of God there is no final neutrality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time we made a run, they'd make a shot.
