Jesus says that His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can nnot be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow -- in which no work can be done, any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I should think that being my old lady would be all the satisfaction or career any woman needs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5256]]></link><description><![CDATA[I should think that being my old lady would be all the satisfaction or career any woman needs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which the dream shows is the shadow of such wisdom as exists in man, even if during his waking ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12883]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which the dream shows is the shadow of such wisdom as exists in man, even if during his waking state he may know nothing about it...

It is good. It is the best. It is the clean, clear cut teaching of God's Word, the trophies won by truth in its conflict with error, the levees which faith has raised against the desolating floods of honest or reckless misbelief or unbelief; but orthodoxy, clear and hard as crystal, suspicious and militant, may be but the letter well shaped, well named, and well learned, the letter which kills.
