And what is our Joy, which He says shall be full, but to have fellowship with Him? He had perfect joy on our account, when He rejoiced in foreknowing and predestinating us; but that joy was not in us, because we did not then exist; it began to be in us, when He called us. And this joy we rightly call our own, this joy wherewith we shall be blessed; which is begun in the faith of them who are born again, and shall be fulfilled in the reward of them who rise again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fact we saw 10 percent of organizations freezing salaries was astronomical.

There should be no real conflict between science, which is the search for truth, and Christ's teachings, which I hold to be truth itself.

But Man having induced death upon himself, God hath taken Man's Creature, death, into his hand, and mended it, and whereas it hath in itself a fearfull form and aspect, so that Man is afraid of his own Creature, God presents it to him, in a familiar, in an assiduous, in an agreeable and acceptable form, in sleep, that so when he awakes from sleep and says to himself, shall I be no otherwise when I am dead, than I was even now, when I was asleep, he may be ashamed of his waking dreams, and of his Melancholique fancying out a horrid and an affrightful figure of that death which is so like sleep. As then we need sleep to live out our threescore and ten years, so we need death, to live that life which we cannot out-live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26310]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are times when silence has the loudest voice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21654]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are times when silence has the loudest voice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the sick, while there is life there is hope. [Sp., Aegroto dum anima est, spes est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19774]]></link><description><![CDATA[To the sick, while there is life there is hope. [Sp., Aegroto dum anima est, spes est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dowry, not the wife, is the object of attraction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50494]]></link><description><![CDATA[The dowry, not the wife, is the object of attraction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62999]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person.
