To our amazement, it works out. And then we settle down. We have had our own first-hand and irrefutable experience. But, instead of opening the windows to the glory of the sunshine so evidently there, instead of being incited to a hugeness of faith by what Christ has already done for us, we can't believe that there can be anything more, or that even He can work, for us, anything better. That first foretaste satisfies us. And so we camp for life out on the confines of the Kingdom, and never press on to inherit what is there and meant for us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What man knows is everywhere at war with what he wants. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11981]]></link><description><![CDATA[What man knows is everywhere at war with what he wants.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books are for people who wish they were somewhere else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4488]]></link><description><![CDATA[Books are for people who wish they were somewhere else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The outlook continues to look good, especially growth in emerging markets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31963]]></link><description><![CDATA[The outlook continues to look good, especially growth in emerging markets.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is down can fall no lower. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14916]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is down can fall no lower.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64929]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62935]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27320]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Long jesting was never good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49607]]></link><description><![CDATA[Long jesting was never good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To generalize is to be an idiot.
