I plucked the thorn and offered it to Thee, And for my thorn Thou gavest love and peace,  Not joy this mortal morn:  If Thou hast given much treasure for a thorn, Wilt Thou not give me for my rose increase Of gladness, and all sweets to me? My thorny rose, my love and pain, to Thee I offer, and I set my heart in peace,  And rest upon my thorn:  For verily I think to-morrow morn Shall bring me Paradise, my gift's increase, Yea, give Thy very Self to me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not mightbut lightlit Maccabees'lampthrough the night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not mightbut lightlit Maccabees'lampthrough the night.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our fears are always more numerous than our dangers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51175]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our fears are always more numerous than our dangers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The two World Wars came in part, like much modern literature and art, because men, whose nature is to tire ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9028]]></link><description><![CDATA[The two World Wars came in part, like much modern literature and art, because men, whose nature is to tire of everything in turn, ... tired of common sense and civilization.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion, and he whose real wants are supplied must admit those of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11977]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion, and he whose real wants are supplied must admit those of fancy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money just draws flies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money just draws flies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A kind and gentle heart he had, To comfort friends and foes;  The naked every day he clad  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46459]]></link><description><![CDATA[A kind and gentle heart he had, To comfort friends and foes;  The naked every day he clad   When he put on his clothes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him a little.

For God reigns in the hearts of His servants; there is His Kingdom. The power of grace hath subdued all His enemies; there is His power. They serve Him night and day, and give Him thanks and praise; that is His glory. This is the religion and worship of God in the temple. [Continued tomorrow]  ...Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living    October 11, 1997  Commemoration of Ethelburga, Abbess of Barking, 675  The temple itself is the heart of man, Christ is the high priest, who from thence sends up the incense of prayers, and joins them to His own intercession and presents all together to His Father; and the Holy Ghost by His dwelling there hath also consecrated it into a temple; and God dwells in our hearts by faith, and Christ by His Spirit, and the spirit by His purities: so that we are also cabinets of the mysterious Trinity, and what is this short of heaven itself, but as infancy is short of manhood?... The same state of life it is, but not the same age. It is heaven in a looking glass, dark but yet true, representing the beauties of the soul, and the grace of God, and the images of His eternal glory, by the reality of a special presence.  ...Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living    October 12, 1997  Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845  If God reveal anything to you by any other instrument of His, be as ready to receive it as ever you were to receive any truth by my ministry: for I am verily persuaded, the Lord has more truth yet to break forth out of His holy Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vanity as an impulse has without doubt been of far more benefit to civilization than modesty has ever been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60419]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vanity as an impulse has without doubt been of far more benefit to civilization than modesty has ever been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men marry women with the hope they will never change.
