It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap; and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even. There is only one thing, which somebody once put into my head, that I dislike in sleep; it is, that it resembles death; there is very little difference between a man in his first sleep, and a man in his last sleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A gray eye is a sly eye, And roguish is a brown one;  Turn full upon me thy eye,-- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14816]]></link><description><![CDATA[A gray eye is a sly eye, And roguish is a brown one;  Turn full upon me thy eye,--   Ah, how its wavelets drown one!    A blue eye is a true eye;     Mysterious is a dark one,      Which flashes like a spark-sun!       A black eye is the best one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess that there isn't a better time for it.

But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also a Being whom it ill suits any of us to find but from whom we cannot escape. Part of the reason why men cannot find God is that there is that in Him which they do not desire to find, so that the God whom they are seeking and cannot find is not the God who truly is. Perhaps we could not fail to find God, if it were really God whom we were seeking. And indeed the deepest reality of the situation is that contained in the discovery, which alone is likely at last to resolve our perplexity, that when we were so distressfully seeking that which was not really God, the true God had already found us, though at first we did not know that it was He by whom we had been found. There is a saying, "Be careful what you seek; you might find it." And some who have sought God only as a complacent ally of their own ambitions have found Him a consuming fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scripture will ultimately suffice for a saving knowledge of God only when its certainty is founded upon the inward persuasion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7774]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scripture will ultimately suffice for a saving knowledge of God only when its certainty is founded upon the inward persuasion of the Holy Spirit. Indeed, these human testimonies which exist to confirm it will not be vain if, as secondary aids to our feebleness, they follow that chief and highest testimony.

An Ant passed by,bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to thenest.Why not come and chat with me, said the Grasshopper,instead of toiling and moiling in that way?I am helping to lay up food for the winter, said the Ant,and recommend you to do the same.Why bother about winter? said the Grasshopper; we have gotplenty of food at present. But the Ant went on its way andcontinued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had nofood and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the antsdistributing every day corn and grain from the stores they hadcollected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't accept just taking the series.
