But it is rather the giving up of self into the hands of God, without stint and without reserve, and letting Him set the work. It is the recognition of the fact that God has many kinds of work to be done, and that the best paid are not always the most honourable. To enter or exercise the ministry with a view to preferment is like marrying for money and not for love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To laugh, to lie, to flatter to face, Foure waies in court to win men's grace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10452]]></link><description><![CDATA[To laugh, to lie, to flatter to face, Foure waies in court to win men's grace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fair land! of chivalry the old domain, Land of the vine and olive, lovely Spain!  Though not for thee ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fair land! of chivalry the old domain, Land of the vine and olive, lovely Spain!  Though not for thee with classic shores to vie   In charms that fix th' enthusiast's pensive eye;    Yet hast thou scenes of beauty richly fraught     With all that wakes the glow of lofty thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[GOP strategists hope the revelation of Kerry's wealth might debunk his status as a, quote, man of the people, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17384]]></link><description><![CDATA[GOP strategists hope the revelation of Kerry's wealth might debunk his status as a, quote, man of the people, and reveal him to be a bit of a fat cat.

To possess a high spirit, to behave with proper spirit when used ill -- by which is meant, a quick feeling of injuries, and a promptness in resenting them -- entitles to commendation; and a meek-spirited disposition, the highest Scripture eulogium, expresses ideas of disapprobation and contempt. Vanity and vainglory are suffered without interruption to retain their natural possession of the heart.   ... William Wilberforce, A Practical View  July 31, 2000 Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  Jesus used the term abba (which means father or "daddy" in his Aramaic mother tongue), as an address in his prayers to God.

As the divine Son of the Father, Jesus enjoyed a unique relationship with him, and his mission in the world consisted in opening up the blessings of sonship to those who believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spending an evening on the World Wide Web is much like sitting down to a dinner of Cheetos, two hours ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spending an evening on the World Wide Web is much like sitting down to a dinner of Cheetos, two hours later your fingers are yellow and you're no longer hungry, but you haven't been nourished.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And I started with this: I have not painted at all my childhood.
