Poor, timorous, faithless souls that we are! How we shall smile at our vain alarms, when the worst has happened! To us here, death is the most terrible word we know. But when we have tasted its reality, it will mean to us birth, deliverance, a new creation of ourselves. It will be what health is to the sick man. It will be what home is to the exile. It will be what the loved one given back is to the bereaved. As we draw near to it, a great solemn gladness should fill our hearts. It is God's great morning lighting up the sky.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't be dismayed at good-byes.

As this afforded only protection for one,and as the Traveler and the owner of the Ass both claimed it, aviolent dispute arose between them as to which of them had theright to the Shadow. The owner maintained that he had let theAss only, and not his Shadow. The Traveler asserted that he had,with the hire of the Ass, hired his Shadow also. The quarrelproceeded from words to blows, and while the men fought, the Assgalloped off. In quarreling about the shadow we often lose the substance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you're between any sort of devil and the deep blue sea, the deep blue sea sometimes looks very inviting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12185]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you're between any sort of devil and the deep blue sea, the deep blue sea sometimes looks very inviting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Betrayal is the only truth that sticks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Betrayal is the only truth that sticks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is a reasoning rather than a reasonable animal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26277]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is a reasoning rather than a reasonable animal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When poverty comes in at doors, love leaps out at windows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25742]]></link><description><![CDATA[When poverty comes in at doors, love leaps out at windows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a losttradition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a losttradition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All men are born truthful and die liars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26133]]></link><description><![CDATA[All men are born truthful and die liars.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're an unselfish group willing to do whatever it takes to win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33680]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're an unselfish group willing to do whatever it takes to win.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Through zeal, knowledge is gotten; through lack of zeal, knowledge is lost; let a man who knows the double path ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62612]]></link><description><![CDATA[Through zeal, knowledge is gotten; through lack of zeal, knowledge is lost; let a man who knows the double path of gain and loss thus place himself that knowledge may grow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For many years the Christians met in homes and never possessed any special buildings for their gatherings.
