It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.   ... Maltbie D. Babcock August 7, 2000 Commemoration of John Mason Neale, Priest, Poet, 1866   For all the vigour of his polemic, St. Paul does not content himself with the denunciation of error, but finds the best defense against its insidious approaches in a closer adherence to the love of God and faith in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wet sheet and a flowing sea, A wind that follows fast  And fills the white and rustling sails, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43991]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wet sheet and a flowing sea, A wind that follows fast  And fills the white and rustling sails,   And bends the gallant mast!    And bends the gallant mast, my boys,     While, like the eagle free,      Away the good ship flies, and leaves       Old England in the lee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What power has love but forgiveness? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8359]]></link><description><![CDATA[What power has love but forgiveness?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rills of pleasure never run sincere, (Earth has no unpolluted spring)  From the cursed soil some dang'rous taint ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51852]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rills of pleasure never run sincere, (Earth has no unpolluted spring)  From the cursed soil some dang'rous taint they bear;   So roses grow on thorns, and honey wears a sting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indecision is debilitating; it feeds upon itself; it is, one might almost say, habit-forming.

When Jesus laid the duty of petition upon his disciples, He went on to assert the reasonableness of man's asking and God's answering. Jesus argues along the line of reason that, if an earthly parent does the best in his power for his children, ... the Almighty and All-Wise Love, of which human love is only the shadow, will do better still for His great family; and therefore our Master teaches that men ought everywhere to pray, without fear, with hope, and without doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hate undermines communities, hate undermines democracy and so we look at it in a different way.

The Ass was left in a stable and had plenty of oats and hay to eat, just as any other Ass would. The Lapdog knew many tricks and was a great favorite with his master, who often fondled him and seldom went out to dine without bringing him home some tidbit to eat. The Ass, on the contrary, had much work to do in grinding the corn-mill and in carrying wood from the forest or burdens from the farm. He often lamented his own hard fate and contrasted it with the luxury and idleness of the Lapdog, till at last one day he broke his cords and halter, and galloped into his master's house, kicking up his heels without measure, and frisking and fawning as well as he could. He next tried to jump about his master as he had seen the Lapdog do, but he broke the table and smashed all the dishes upon it to atoms. He then attempted to lick his master, and jumped upon his back. The servants, hearing the strange hubbub and perceiving the danger of their master, quickly relieved him, and drove out the Ass to his stable with kicks and clubs and cuffs. The Ass, as he returned to his stall beaten nearly to death, thus lamented: I have brought it all on myself! Why could I not have been contented to labor with my companions, and not wish to be idle all the day like that useless little Lapdog!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64745]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64745</guid></item></channel></rss>
