Let us humbly, tremblingly, manfully look at it, and we shall not wish that the sun could go back its ten degrees, or that we could go back with it. If easy times are departed, it is that the difficult times may make us more in earnest; that they may teach us not to depend on ourselves. If easy belief is impossible, it is that we may learn what belief is, and in whom it is to be placed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She comes majestic with her swelling sails, The gallant Ship: along her watery way,  Homeward she drives before the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56184]]></link><description><![CDATA[She comes majestic with her swelling sails, The gallant Ship: along her watery way,  Homeward she drives before the favouring gales;   Now flirting at their length the streamers play,    And now they ripple with the ruffling breeze.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915 Give me an open ear, O God, that I may hear ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8176]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915 Give me an open ear, O God, that I may hear Thy voice  calling me to high endeavor.
