They have Christ, they have God, and they are satisfied. There can be no monotony in the contemplation and worship of the Infinite. Their great possession is unchangeable, but also inexhaustible; no change is possible where all is love and truth. The centre of the heavenly life is fixed and immovable, but the circumference may ever be advancing towards the centre, the saints may ever be drawing nearer and nearer to the goal which they can never reach. There may be progress in knowledge, progress in enjoyment, progress in service -- a progress which at every point will open up new wonders, new opportunities, new outlooks into a greater future, and as that future unfolds itself, new and unexpected scopes for the energies of redeemed men, new ways of fellowship with God in Christ, new companionships with the good and great of past generations, and with angelic beings who have watched and guarded us in life, and rejoiced over our repentance, and are ready to welcome us into the eternal mansions, and will share our worship and our work, our service and our joy, in the ages to come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47753]]></link><description><![CDATA[For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest thing that would help the markets right now would be a sustained drop in crude oil, but I'm ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40733]]></link><description><![CDATA[The biggest thing that would help the markets right now would be a sustained drop in crude oil, but I'm not holding my breath for that.

Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, 988  I suddenly saw that all the time it was not I who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6469]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, 988  I suddenly saw that all the time it was not I who had been seeking God, but God who had been seeking me. I had made myself the centre of my own existence and had my back turned to God. All the beauty and truth which I had discovered had come to me as a reflection of his beauty, but I had kept my eyes fixed on the reflection and was always looking at myself. But God had brought me to the point at which I was compelled to turn away from the reflection, both of myself and of the world which could only mirror my own image. During that night the mirror had been broken, and I had felt abandoned because I could no longer gaze upon the image of my own reason and the finite world which it knew. God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was me being selfish and just going around thinking everything should go my way.

But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In true love the smallest distance is too great, and the greatest distance can be bridged. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25806]]></link><description><![CDATA[In true love the smallest distance is too great, and the greatest distance can be bridged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah! who can tell how hard it is to climb The steep where Fame's proud temple shines afar! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah! who can tell how hard it is to climb The steep where Fame's proud temple shines afar!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning is like rowing upstream; not to advance is to drop back ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learning is like rowing upstream; not to advance is to drop back]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is the balm that heals the forlorn ache of a distant star. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18901]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is the balm that heals the forlorn ache of a distant star.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No animal is so inexhaustable as an excited infant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3614]]></link><description><![CDATA[No animal is so inexhaustable as an excited infant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perfection irritates as well as it attracts, in fiction as in life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41074]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perfection irritates as well as it attracts, in fiction as in life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22009]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anything can be discussed at the negotiating table.
