Eccl. 12:6. When he understood it, he called for his friends, and told them of it. Then said he, I am going to my Father's; and though with great difficulty I have got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a witness for me that I have fought His battles who will now be my rewarder. When the day that he must go hence was come, many accompanied him to the river-side, into which as he went, he said, "Death, where is thy sting?" And as he went down deeper, he said, "Grave, where is thy victory?" 1 Cor. 15:55. So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain:  As, painfully to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11842]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain:  As, painfully to pore upon a book,   To seek the light of truth, which truth the while    Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Far off I hear the crowing of the cocks, And through the opening door that time unlocks  Feel the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Far off I hear the crowing of the cocks, And through the opening door that time unlocks  Feel the fresh breathing of To-morrow creep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our plans miscarry because they have no aim.

The Ass was left in a stable and had plenty of oats and hay to eat, just as any other Ass would. The Lapdog knew many tricks and was a great favorite with his master, who often fondled him and seldom went out to dine without bringing him home some tidbit to eat. The Ass, on the contrary, had much work to do in grinding the corn-mill and in carrying wood from the forest or burdens from the farm. He often lamented his own hard fate and contrasted it with the luxury and idleness of the Lapdog, till at last one day he broke his cords and halter, and galloped into his master's house, kicking up his heels without measure, and frisking and fawning as well as he could. He next tried to jump about his master as he had seen the Lapdog do, but he broke the table and smashed all the dishes upon it to atoms. He then attempted to lick his master, and jumped upon his back. The servants, hearing the strange hubbub and perceiving the danger of their master, quickly relieved him, and drove out the Ass to his stable with kicks and clubs and cuffs. The Ass, as he returned to his stall beaten nearly to death, thus lamented: I have brought it all on myself! Why could I not have been contented to labor with my companions, and not wish to be idle all the day like that useless little Lapdog!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored, we must redouble our efforts ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5415]]></link><description><![CDATA[If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored, we must redouble our efforts here to keep them free]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius is entitled to respect only when it promotes the peace and improves the happiness of mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22500]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius is entitled to respect only when it promotes the peace and improves the happiness of mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm glad you're doing this story on us and not on the WNBA.

Faith is not understood when [it is] only demonstrated by life. The more sanctified a life without the verbal witness, the greater the danger of the Christian's goodness getting in the way. Should a person by the grace of God become easier to live with, he doesn't need to call attention to it: it will speak for itself. He can instead seek to balance the reverse effect of the good image by occasionally speaking of the unfavorable realities within, those parts that are still changing. In this way, his external behavior by contrast can point to the power of God, rather than to the effort of man. When we decrease, He can increase, but not until.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was always a lover of soft-winged things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4236]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was always a lover of soft-winged things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66023]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Parenting Manual -Doc Childre. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5247]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Parenting Manual -Doc Childre.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fearless are merely fearless.
