John Henry Newman  September 10, 2000   Evangelism is not an option for the Christian life.   ... Luis Palau  September 11, 2000   Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle [Samoa]... Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not be, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.   ... Robert Louis Stevenson  September 12, 2000   Devotion is the real spiritual sweetness which takes away all bitterness from mortifications, and prevents consolations from disagreeing with the soul; it cures the poor of sadness, and the rich of presumption; it keeps the oppressed from feeling desolate, and the prosperous from insolence: it averts sadness from the lonely, and dissipation from social life; it is as warmth in winter and as refreshing dew in summer; it knows how to abound and how to suffer want, how to profit alike by honour and by contempt; it accepts gladness and sadness with an even mind, and fills men's hearts with a wondrous sweetness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe in the imagination.

Thus pride may seem to be nothing but a frame of mind belonging unto our wealth and dignity, or our ... abilities; sensuality may seem to be but a lawful participation of the good things of this life; passion and peevishness, but a due sense of the want of respect that we must suppose owing unto us; covetousness, a necessary care of ourselves and of our families. If the seeds of sin are covered with such pretences, they will in time spring up and bear bitter fruit in the minds and the lives of men; and the beginning of all apostasy, both in religion and in morality, lies in just such pretences. Men plead that they can do so-and-so lawfully, until they can do things openly unlawful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Surely, sir, There's in him stuff that puts him to these ends;  For, being not propped by ancestry, whose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27393]]></link><description><![CDATA[Surely, sir, There's in him stuff that puts him to these ends;  For, being not propped by ancestry, whose grace   Chalks successors their way, nor called upon    For high feats done to th' crown, neither allied     To eminent assistants, but spiderlike      Out of his self-drawing web, 'a gives us note,       The force of his own merit makes his way,        A gift that heaven gives for him, which buys         A place next to the king.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65434]]></link><description><![CDATA[The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many can argue; not many converse ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many can argue; not many converse]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not a perfect landscape, but the areas we can apply ourselves, which is now really limited to containers, we're ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33756]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not a perfect landscape, but the areas we can apply ourselves, which is now really limited to containers, we're doing it and I think we're doing it in an efficient fashion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By expanding DFS into Canada, we are able to better meet our existing clients' needs while positioning ourselves strategically for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35068]]></link><description><![CDATA[By expanding DFS into Canada, we are able to better meet our existing clients' needs while positioning ourselves strategically for future growth opportunities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35068</guid></item></channel></rss>
