If life be long I will be glad,  That I may long obey; If short--yet why should I be sad  To soar to endless day? Christ leads me through no darker rooms  Than He went through before; He that unto God's kingdom comes,  Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet  Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet,  What will Thy glory be! Then shall I end my sad complaints,  And weary, sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints,  To sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that life is small,  The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,  And I shall be with him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[College is a refuge from hasty judgment.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64720]]></link><description><![CDATA[College is a refuge from hasty judgment.rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines. . ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23795]]></link><description><![CDATA[The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines. . -Charles Kuralt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love my animals and the environment; it is hard to go from farm life to city life in a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40950]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love my animals and the environment; it is hard to go from farm life to city life in a few hours.
