The good I have is from His stores supplied, The ill is only what He deems the best; He for my friend, I'm rich with naught beside, And poor without Him, though of all possessed; Changes may come, I take or I resign Content, while I am His, and He is mine. Whate'er may change, in Him no change is seen, A glorious Sun that wanes not nor declines; Above the storms and clouds He walks serene, And on His people's inward darkness shines; All may depart: I fret not, nor repine, While I my Saviours am, while He is mine. While here, alas! I know but half His love, But half discern Him, and but half adore; But when I meet Him in the realms above I hope to love him better, praise Him more, And feel, and tell, amid the choir divine, How fully I am His, and He is mine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the wind will not serve, take to the oars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51883]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the wind will not serve, take to the oars.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64306]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That thou seest, man, become too thou must; God, if thou seest God, dust, if thou seest dust. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9431]]></link><description><![CDATA[That thou seest, man, become too thou must; God, if thou seest God, dust, if thou seest dust.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You won't realize the distance you've walked until you take a look around and realize how far you've been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21055]]></link><description><![CDATA[You won't realize the distance you've walked until you take a look around and realize how far you've been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Can you do addition?" the White Queen asked.

For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library.
