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[There's not a joy the world can give like that it takes away.   - Lord Byron (George Gordon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23419]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's not a joy the world can give like that it takes away.   - Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron),]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature is something outside our body, but the mind is within us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature is something outside our body, but the mind is within us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22390]]></link><description><![CDATA[.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Old-Testament doctrine of salvation gives us no encouragement, on strictly hermeneutical grounds, to argue from what was true politically ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6719]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Old-Testament doctrine of salvation gives us no encouragement, on strictly hermeneutical grounds, to argue from what was true politically of Israel to what could or should be true of any modern political state. Even if we were first to grant the presence of a "Christendom" situation [where] Church and State would be virtually coextensive, the nation of Israel would still remain unique. The focus of salvation is on the historical action of God in forming a people for Himself, and there is no indication anywhere in the Bible that God promises political salvation even inside the context of the full salvation of His people, let alone outside it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And then he drew a dial from his poke, And looking on it with lack-lustre eye, Says very wisely, It ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55647]]></link><description><![CDATA[And then he drew a dial from his poke, And looking on it with lack-lustre eye, Says very wisely, It is ten o'clock: Thus we may see, quoth he, how the world wags. -As You Like It.

And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All married women are not wives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61567]]></link><description><![CDATA[All married women are not wives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The record shows very long lapses of time when there's no movement on the case at all.
