Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone.

Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to be a part forever, what patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer, and knows that success for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not be in a hurry to tie what you cannot untie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57086]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not be in a hurry to tie what you cannot untie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a celebration of the water that is not romantic.
