For God reigns in the hearts of His servants; there is His Kingdom. The power of grace hath subdued all His enemies; there is His power. They serve Him night and day, and give Him thanks and praise; that is His glory. This is the religion and worship of God in the temple. [Continued tomorrow]  ...Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living    October 11, 1997  Commemoration of Ethelburga, Abbess of Barking, 675  The temple itself is the heart of man, Christ is the high priest, who from thence sends up the incense of prayers, and joins them to His own intercession and presents all together to His Father; and the Holy Ghost by His dwelling there hath also consecrated it into a temple; and God dwells in our hearts by faith, and Christ by His Spirit, and the spirit by His purities: so that we are also cabinets of the mysterious Trinity, and what is this short of heaven itself, but as infancy is short of manhood?... The same state of life it is, but not the same age. It is heaven in a looking glass, dark but yet true, representing the beauties of the soul, and the grace of God, and the images of His eternal glory, by the reality of a special presence.  ...Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living    October 12, 1997  Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845  If God reveal anything to you by any other instrument of His, be as ready to receive it as ever you were to receive any truth by my ministry: for I am verily persuaded, the Lord has more truth yet to break forth out of His holy Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In an unconstitutional partnership with the state, the church can impose the most irresistible, if covert, controls conceivable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64118]]></link><description><![CDATA[In an unconstitutional partnership with the state, the church can impose the most irresistible, if covert, controls conceivable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The point of acting is to pretend you're someone else and sell a story. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65267]]></link><description><![CDATA[The point of acting is to pretend you're someone else and sell a story.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To speak and to speak well, are two things.

Neither canst thou be delivered or eased by any remedy or comfort; but so long as it pleaseth God, thou oughtest to bear it. For God will have thee learn to suffer tribulation without comfort, and that thou subject thyself wholly to Him, and by tribulation become more humble. No man hath so cordial a feeling of the Passion of Christ, as he that hath suffered the like himself. The Cross therefore is always ready, and everywhere waits for thee. Thou canst not escape it, whithersoever thou runnest; for wheresoever thou goest, thou carriest thyself with thee, and shalt ever find thyself. Both above and below, without and within, which way so ever thou dost turn thee, everywhere thou shalt find the Cross; and everywhere of necessity thou must hold fast patience, if thou wilt have inward peace, and enjoy an everlasting crown.  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ June 8, 1996 Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  The charm of the words of great men, those grand sayings which are recognized as true as soon as heard, is this, that you recognize them as wisdom which has passed across your own mind. You feel that they are your own thoughts come back to you, else you would not at once admit them. "All of that has floated across me before, only I could not say it, and did not feel confident enough to assert it: or had not conviction enough to put it into words." Yes, God spoke to you what He did to them: only, they believed it, said it, trusted the Word within them; and you did not. Be sure that often when you say, "It is only my own poor thought, and I am alone," the real correcting thought is this: "Alone, but the Father is with me, and therefore I can live that lonely conviction.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was now a coward on instinct. -King Henry IV.

Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, -I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remorse is virtue's root; its fair increase are fruits of innocence and blessedness ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remorse is virtue's root; its fair increase are fruits of innocence and blessedness]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evildoers delight in hiding themselves; shun appearing; are bewildered when discovered; being accused, deny; not even when tortured, readily or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evildoers delight in hiding themselves; shun appearing; are bewildered when discovered; being accused, deny; not even when tortured, readily or always confess; certainly mourn when condemned; sum up against themselves, impute either to fate or to the stars the impulses of a wicked mind; for they will not have that to be their own, which they acknowledge to be evil. But what doth the Christian like this? None is ashamed, none repenteth, save that he was not such long ago. If he be marked down, he glorieth; if accused, maketh no defense; being questioned, confesseth even of his own accord; being condemned, giveth thanks. What manner of evil is this, which hath not the natural marks of evil, fear, shame, shrinking, penitence, sorrow? What manner of evil is this, whereof he that is accused rejoiceth?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most complex things are the simplest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1148]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most complex things are the simplest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My life can be so arranged that I can live on whatever I have.
