But God does not require us to carry the whole at once. He mercifully unties the bundle, and gives us first one stick, which we are to carry today, and then another, which we are to carry tomorrow, and so on. This we might easily manage, if we would only take the burden appointed for each day; but we choose to increase our troubles by carrying yesterday's stick over again today, and adding tomorrow's burden to the load, before we are required to bear it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't think people would go on about my looks if I was No. 500 in the world instead of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58961]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't think people would go on about my looks if I was No. 500 in the world instead of No.12, do you?

He returned to his den, and lying down there, pretended to be sick, taking care that his sickness should be publicly known. The beasts expressed their sorrow, and came one by one to his den, where the Lion devoured them. After many of the beasts had thus disappeared, the Fox discovered the trick and presenting himself to the Lion, stood on the outside of the cave, at a respectful distance, and asked him how he was. I am very middling, replied the Lion, but why do you stand without? Pray enter within to talk with me. No, thank you, said the Fox. I notice that there are many prints of feet entering your cave, but I see no trace of any returning. He is wise who is warned by the misfortunes of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In other circumstances it would not be a very big deal, but I would say the Election Commission was too ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35928]]></link><description><![CDATA[In other circumstances it would not be a very big deal, but I would say the Election Commission was too complacent about explaining the changes to the people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I suppose everyone continues to be interested in the quest for the self, but what you feel when you're older, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52721]]></link><description><![CDATA[I suppose everyone continues to be interested in the quest for the self, but what you feel when you're older, I think, is that. . . you really must make the self.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just before consumers stop doing something, they do it with a vengeance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60469]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just before consumers stop doing something, they do it with a vengeance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At this point, they should get better every time they take the mat and learn something.

But they are not repentance at all... It is the simple truth that that sorrow of heart, that healing and sanctifying pain in which sin is really put away, is not ours in independence of God; it is a saving grace which is begotten in the soul under the impression of sin it owes to the revelation of God in Christ. A man can no more repent than he can do anything else without a motive; and the motive which makes evangelic repentance possible does not enter into his world till he sees God as God makes Himself known in the death of Christ. All true penitents are children of the Cross. Their penitence is not their own creation: it is the reaction towards God produced in their souls by this demonstration of what sin is to Him, and of what His love does to reach and win the sinful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The goal of yesterday will be our starting-point to-morrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48799]]></link><description><![CDATA[The goal of yesterday will be our starting-point to-morrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sad thing in life is that sometimes you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53259]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sad thing in life is that sometimes you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that it was never bound to be and you just have to let go.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Simon & Jude, Apostles  Every man hath greater assurance that God is good and just than he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7034]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Simon & Jude, Apostles  Every man hath greater assurance that God is good and just than he can have of any subtle speculations about predestination and the decrees of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7034</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[Fear keepes and looks to the vineyard, and not the owner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear keepes and looks to the vineyard, and not the owner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To get where you want to go you can't only do what you like. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63800]]></link><description><![CDATA[To get where you want to go you can't only do what you like.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is one word in America that says it all, and that one word is, 'You never know.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38013]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is one word in America that says it all, and that one word is, 'You never know.']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more I study history, the more I realize people are the same.
