But thus much may we learn from these heathens, that if the dead, and we, be not upon one floor, nor under one story, yet we are under one roof. We think not a friend lost, because he has gone into another room, nor because he has gone into another land: and into another world, no man has gone; for that Heaven, which God created, and this world, is all one world... I spend none of my faith, I exercise none of my hope, in this, that I shall have my dead raised to life again. This is the faith that sustains me, when I lose by the death of others, or when I suffer by living in misery myself: that the dead and we are now all in one Church, and at the resurrection, shall be all in one Choir.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Temptations come, as a general rule, when they are sought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Temptations come, as a general rule, when they are sought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the Seven was wont to say: "That laws were like cobwebs; where the small flies were caught, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24240]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the Seven was wont to say: "That laws were like cobwebs; where the small flies were caught, and the great brake through."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[See yonder maker of the dead man's bed, The sexton, hoary-headed chronicle,  Of hard, unmeaning face, down which ne'er ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18207]]></link><description><![CDATA[See yonder maker of the dead man's bed, The sexton, hoary-headed chronicle,  Of hard, unmeaning face, down which ne'er stole   A gentle tear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tailor, though a man of upright dealing,-- True but for lying,--honest but for stealing,--  Did fall one day ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58562]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tailor, though a man of upright dealing,-- True but for lying,--honest but for stealing,--  Did fall one day extremely sick by chance   And on the sudden was in wondrous trance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't want to go back to tomorrow, we want to go forward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47071]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't want to go back to tomorrow, we want to go forward.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweep on, you fat and greasy citizens; 'Tis just the fashion.

Instead of the living, loving, self-manifesting God of the Old Testament Israel now took hold of the abstract idea of the unity, or rather the unicity, of God, as if that were God. Before -- when they lived in communion with God, when God was known to them as a Person, speaking, acting, blessing, who had chosen them, who was educating them, and who was going to fulfill His promises -- they declared, in opposition to the idolatrous nations that surrounded them, that this God of Israel was one God, that there are not many gods; but when they lost communion with God, in order to show what distinguished them from the nations of the earth, and especially from Christians, they emphasized that God in Himself was only one Person, and not as He is revealed to us in the Scripture: Sender, Sent, and Spirit. It is the boast of the modern Jewish synagogue that their great mission is to testify to the world the unity of God. But it is a striking fact that the Gentile nations who have, since the dispersion of Israel, been converted from idolatry, have been influenced, not by the synagogue, but by the congregations of Jesus Christ, and were baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost... It is one thing to believe in justification by faith, it is another thing to be justified by faith; and so it is one thing to believe in God, who is One, and it is another to believe in the numerical abstraction, in the mere idea of unicity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is obviously the most thorny problem.

We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with Him. When we love anyone with our whole hearts, life begins when we are with that person; it is only in their company that we are really and truly alive. It is so with Christ. In this world our contact with Him is shadowy, for we can only see through a glass darkly. It is spasmodic, for we are poor creatures and cannot live always on the heights. But the best definition of it is to say that heaven is that state where we will always be with Jesus, and where nothing will separate us from Him any more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is not a static thing.

Yet even then, we have not reached the centre. For when we worship, we are in God's presence, and it is what He says and does to us that is the all-important thing, not what we say and do toward Him. Since He is here and speaking to us, face to face, it is for us, in a hush of spirit, to listen for and to His voice, reproving counseling, encouraging, revealing His most blessed will for us; and, with diligence, to set about immediate obedience. This and this, upon which He has laid His hand, must go; and this and this to which He calls us must be at once begun. And here and now I start to it. That is the heart of worship, its very core and essence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14740]]></link><description><![CDATA[If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food,  Nothing to wear out but clothes,   To ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44669]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing to do but work, Nothing to eat but food,  Nothing to wear out but clothes,   To keep one from going nude.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45643]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth it's spark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24270]]></link><description><![CDATA[The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must make the best of those ills which cannot be avoided. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/578]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must make the best of those ills which cannot be avoided.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You get somebody to crack a smile, that's a beautiful thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66218]]></link><description><![CDATA[You get somebody to crack a smile, that's a beautiful thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one wants a good education.
