He grasped as many as he could possibly hold, but when he tried to pull out his hand, he was prevented from doing so by the neck of the pitcher. Unwilling to lose his filberts, and yet unable to withdraw his hand, he burst into tears and bitterly lamented his disappointment. A bystander said to him, Be satisfied with half the quantity, and you will readily draw out your hand. Do not attempt too much at once.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's the way it has been all season long.

The prophets, for all their passionate sincerity, for all their courageous simplifyings of the Gospel, will meet many deaf adders who stop their ears. We must reckon with this certain fact, and refuse to be daunted by it. But also there comes a point where accommodation can go no further. It is the Gospel we have to present, however we do it. We cannot hope to do it unless we walk humbly with the modern man, as well as with God, unless we are much more eager to learn from him and about him, than to instruct him. God help us, it is all very difficult. But was there ever a task better worth trying to do, or one in which, whether we fail or succeed, we more surely find our freedom?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So, fall asleep love, loved by me....for I know love, I am loved by thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54383]]></link><description><![CDATA[So, fall asleep love, loved by me....for I know love, I am loved by thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Her inertia did not sit well with some in her immediate circle.
