Oh, Thou didst know that Thy deed would be recorded in books, would be handed down to remote times and the utmost ends of the earth, and Thou didst hope that man, following Thee, would cling to God and not ask for a miracle. But Thou didst not know that when man rejects miracle he rejects God too; for man seeks not so much God as the miraculous. And as man cannot bear to be without the miraculous, he will create new miracles of his own for himself, and will worship deeds of sorcery and witchcraft, though he might be a hundred times over a rebel, heretic and infidel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your day will come is another way of saying you get yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your day will come is another way of saying you get yours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enter every activity without giving mental recognition to the possibility of defeat.

Jesus says His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can not be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow, in which no work can be done any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou unassuming Commonplace Of Nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11000]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou unassuming Commonplace Of Nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it were not for hopes, the heart would break.
