We used to read the lives of the Saints together. And when I read of the martyrdoms which they suffered for the love of God, I used to think that they had bought their entry into God's presence very cheaply. Then I fervently longed to die like them, not out of any conscious love for Him, but in order to attain, as quickly as they had, those joys which, as I read, are laid up in Heaven. I used to discuss with my brother ways and means of becoming martyrs, and we agreed to go together to the land of the Moors, begging our way for the love of God, so that we might be beheaded there. I believe that our Lord had given us courage enough even at that tender age, if only we could have seen a way. But our parents seemed to us a very great hindrance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety. -King Henry IV.

Jesus says that His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can nnot be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow -- in which no work can be done, any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is not singular except in syllable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is not singular except in syllable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Northbrook was playing pretty tough today and we struggled out there (but) there's no time for us to get upset ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32434]]></link><description><![CDATA[Northbrook was playing pretty tough today and we struggled out there (but) there's no time for us to get upset about today because we have to get right back at it in Two Rivers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In general it's a healthy profit taking move for the EM market, and for the domestic markets in Latin America ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34542]]></link><description><![CDATA[In general it's a healthy profit taking move for the EM market, and for the domestic markets in Latin America as the stock and currency markets are coming off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What happiness the rural maid attends, In cheerful labour while each day she spends!  She gratefully receives what Heav'n ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9945]]></link><description><![CDATA[What happiness the rural maid attends, In cheerful labour while each day she spends!  She gratefully receives what Heav'n has sent,   And, rich in poverty, enjoys content.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In India there are a large proportion of people who have not seen significant change in their lifetime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31478]]></link><description><![CDATA[In India there are a large proportion of people who have not seen significant change in their lifetime.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drooping along the ground the vine misses its widowed elm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50437]]></link><description><![CDATA[Drooping along the ground the vine misses its widowed elm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27298]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple reason that it is more difficult to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2156]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day than to say pretty things from time to time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is not going to be politically acceptable to most people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32778]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is not going to be politically acceptable to most people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Action and care will in time wear down the strongest frame, but guilt and melancholy are poisons of quick dispatch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Action and care will in time wear down the strongest frame, but guilt and melancholy are poisons of quick dispatch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This island is made mainly of coal and surrounded by fish.
