If I were to preach upon this text ("For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matt. 6:21), to such a glass, it would be enough for half the sermon, enough to show the worldly man his treasure, and the object of his Heart, to call his eye to that minute-glass, and to tell him, "There flows, there flies, your treasure, and your heart with it."   But if I had a secular glass, a glass that would run an age; if the two hemispheres of the world were composed in the form of such a glass, and all the world burnt to ashes, and all the ashes, and the sands, and atoms of the world put into that glass, it would not be enough to tell the godly man what his treasure, and the object of his heart is. A parrot will sooner be brought to relate to us the wisdom of a council table, than any Ambrose, or any Chrysostom, men that have gold and honey in their names, shall tell us what the treasure of heaven is, and that man's peace, that hath set his Heart upon that treasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't like giving names to generations.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon August 4, 2000 Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859   Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.   ... William Barclay, The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, Introduction  August 5, 2000 Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642   Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They do me wrong who say I come no more, When once I know and fail to find you in; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45079]]></link><description><![CDATA[They do me wrong who say I come no more, When once I know and fail to find you in;  For every day I stand outside your door   And bid you wait, and rise to fight and win.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64801]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63041]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[In Overdosed America, Dr. Abramson cites CDC data indicating that over the course of the past 100 years, life expectancy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38392]]></link><description><![CDATA[[In Overdosed America, Dr. Abramson cites CDC data indicating that over the course of the past 100 years, life expectancy has increased by a remarkable 30 years.

These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard.
