If I were to preach upon this text ("For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matt. 6:21), to such a glass, it would be enough for half the sermon, enough to show the worldly man his treasure, and the object of his Heart, to call his eye to that minute-glass, and to tell him, "There flows, there flies, your treasure, and your heart with it."   But if I had a secular glass, a glass that would run an age; if the two hemispheres of the world were composed in the form of such a glass, and all the world burnt to ashes, and all the ashes, and the sands, and atoms of the world put into that glass, it would not be enough to tell the godly man what his treasure, and the object of his heart is. A parrot will sooner be brought to relate to us the wisdom of a council table, than any Ambrose, or any Chrysostom, men that have gold and honey in their names, shall tell us what the treasure of heaven is, and that man's peace, that hath set his Heart upon that treasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money is like a sixth sense - and you can't make use of the other five without it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42937]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money is like a sixth sense - and you can't make use of the other five without it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66822]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we thought it would improve our relationship, we would get married tomorrow, but as it is, nearly 7 years ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30062]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we thought it would improve our relationship, we would get married tomorrow, but as it is, nearly 7 years after we got engaged, we are content to wait.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5932]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give every man your ear, but few thy voice.
