He can have but little knowledge of his own heart who will deny this. On the other hand, who that is holding on in the ways of righteousness, does not daily ascribe his steadfastness to the influence of that grace which he receives from God; and look daily to God for more grace, in order that he may be "kept by his power through faith unto salvation (Zech. iv. 9)?" No man can in any measure resemble the scripture saints, unless he be of this disposition. Why then must these things be put in opposition to each other, so that every advocate for one of these points must of necessity controvert and explode the other? Only let any pious person... examine the language of his prayers after he has been devoutly pouring out his soul before God, and he will find his own words almost in perfect consonance with the foregoing statement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[CANI! - (pronounced kuhn-EYE) stands for Constant And Never-endingImprovement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21266]]></link><description><![CDATA[CANI! - (pronounced kuhn-EYE) stands for Constant And Never-endingImprovement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Zealous, yet modest; innocent, though free; Patient of toil; serene amidst alarms;  Inflexible in faith; invincible in arms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5627]]></link><description><![CDATA[Zealous, yet modest; innocent, though free; Patient of toil; serene amidst alarms;  Inflexible in faith; invincible in arms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is an admirable thing, but nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13561]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is an admirable thing, but nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now men say, "I am in no wise prepared for this work, and therefore it cannot be wrought in me," ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8046]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now men say, "I am in no wise prepared for this work, and therefore it cannot be wrought in me," and thus they have an excuse, so that they neither are ready nor in the way to be so. And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica April 14, 1996  This was the fullness of time, when Christ Jesus did come, that the Messiah should come. It was so to the Jews, and it was so to the Gentiles too... Christ hath excommunicated no nation, no shire, no house, no man; He gives none of His ministers leave to say to any man, thou art not redeemed; He gives no wounded or afflicted conscience leave to say to itself, I am not redeemed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16738]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cheer my heart, who build as if Rome would be eternal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54401]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cheer my heart, who build as if Rome would be eternal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, what men dare do! what men may do! what men daily do, not knowing what they do! -Much Ado ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55448]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, what men dare do! what men may do! what men daily do, not knowing what they do! -Much Ado about Nothing.

A higher price represents an opportunity that leads inventors and businesspeople to seek new ways to satisfy the shortages. Some fail, at cost to themselves.
