One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   By constantly meditating on the goodness of God and on our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6848]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   By constantly meditating on the goodness of God and on our great deliverance from that punishment which our sins have deserved, we are brought to feel our vileness and utter unworthiness; and while we continue in this spirit of self-degradation, everything else will go on easily. We shall find ourselves advancing in our course; we shall feel the presence of God; we shall experience His love; we shall live in the enjoyment of His favour and in the hope of His glory... You often feel that your prayers scarcely reach the ceiling; but, oh, get into this humble spirit by considering how good the Lord is, and how evil you all are, and then prayer will mount on wings of faith to heaven. The sigh, the groan of a broken heart, will soon go through the ceiling up to heaven, aye, into the very bosom of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Timid dogs more eagerly bark than bite. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Timid dogs more eagerly bark than bite.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're seeing the benefits of an experienced group and a group that's known each other for a long time.

Too often, alas, conversion has been the end as well as the beginning, with the result that some Christians have looked back, with mingled delight and wistfulness to a past event that now seems to have diminished relevance to daily living. We can fully understand, then, the appeal of a movement which promises a new dimension of Christian living, there in the New Testament, and now available in everyday experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was in yoga the other day.

But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more we study the more we discover our ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58053]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more we study the more we discover our ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20277]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The known propensity of a democracy is to licentiousness which the ambitious call, and the ignorant believe to be liberty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34927]]></link><description><![CDATA[The known propensity of a democracy is to licentiousness which the ambitious call, and the ignorant believe to be liberty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean.
