There's no telling what to expect when Christ Walks in the door. The table set for four Must often be enlarged, and decorum Thrown to the winds. It's His voice that calls them, And it's no use to bolt and bar the door: His kingdom knows no bounds of roof, of wall or floor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not a career woman. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39353]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not a career woman.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sing away, ay, sing away, Merry little bird  Always gayest of the gay,   Though a woodland roundelay ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sing away, ay, sing away, Merry little bird  Always gayest of the gay,   Though a woodland roundelay    You ne'er sung not heard;     Though your life from youth to age      Passes is a narrow cage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think what the [lawsuit] is going to do is have people realize that the government is there to protect ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40001]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think what the [lawsuit] is going to do is have people realize that the government is there to protect consumers, not to protect one competitor over another,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the last few months, we've given several promotions within the department... and I think that's brought more stability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29277]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the last few months, we've given several promotions within the department... and I think that's brought more stability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All good things are cheap: all bad are very dear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62357]]></link><description><![CDATA[All good things are cheap: all bad are very dear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such fire was not by water to be drowned, nor he his nature changed by changing ground. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such fire was not by water to be drowned, nor he his nature changed by changing ground.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I went to the museum where they had all the heads and arms from the statues that are in all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43412]]></link><description><![CDATA[I went to the museum where they had all the heads and arms from the statues that are in all the other museums.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We estimate that only Winnipeg and the Atlantic are more affordable than Calgary and Edmonton, but only because home prices ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32207]]></link><description><![CDATA[We estimate that only Winnipeg and the Atlantic are more affordable than Calgary and Edmonton, but only because home prices in the former two are considerably cheaper than their Alberta counterparts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is not anything I know which hath done more mischief to Religion... than the disparaging of Reason, under pretense ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8300]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is not anything I know which hath done more mischief to Religion... than the disparaging of Reason, under pretense of respect and favour to it.

And we are ever saying, "That be far from Thee, Lord!" We are careful, in our unbelief, over the divine dignity, of which He is too grand to think. Better pleasing to God ... is the audacity of Job, who, rushing into His presence, and flinging the door of His presence-chamber to the wall, like a troubled -- it may be angry -- but yet faithful child, calls aloud in the ear of Him whose perfect Fatherhood he has yet to learn, "Am I a sea or a whale, that Thou settest a watch over me?"... The devotion of God to His creatures is perfect; He does not think about Himself, but about them; He wants nothing for Himself, but finds His blessedness in the outgoing of blessedness. Ah! it is a terrible -- shall it be a lonely glory, this? We will draw near with our human response, our abandonment of self in the faith of Jesus. He Lives Himself to us -- shall we not give ourselves to Him? Shall we not give ourselves to each other whom He loves?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The film begins with the title card from an Old Arabian Proverb: And the Prophet said, 'And lo, the beast ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43331]]></link><description><![CDATA[The film begins with the title card from an Old Arabian Proverb: And the Prophet said, 'And lo, the beast looked upon the face of beauty.

The issue is complex, both philosophically and theologically; but surely it is inappropriate to blame God for a problem He did not initiate, and [that is] in fact, one which He has sought to alleviate, at great cost to Himself. God sent His Son to inaugurate the Kingdom and to "destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb. 2:14). God is not the cause of suffering and sickness; He is its cure! Jesus' ministry and death guarantee this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While UGA and Georgia State want to do this, Georgia Tech does not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33084]]></link><description><![CDATA[While UGA and Georgia State want to do this, Georgia Tech does not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's always a highlight of the year for our kids.
