I've seen the folks go down, Small folk with roses in their cheeks  And starlight in their eyes; And seen them fall among the thieves,  And heard their helpless cries. The priests and Levites speeding by   Read of the latest crimes In headlines spread in black and red  Across the Evening Times. How hard for those in limousines  To heal the heart of man!

But God does not require us to carry the whole at once. He mercifully unties the bundle, and gives us first one stick, which we are to carry today, and then another, which we are to carry tomorrow, and so on. This we might easily manage, if we would only take the burden appointed for each day; but we choose to increase our troubles by carrying yesterday's stick over again today, and adding tomorrow's burden to the load, before we are required to bear it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; they put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53173]]></link><description><![CDATA[God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out did the meate, out did the frolick wine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13202]]></link><description><![CDATA[Out did the meate, out did the frolick wine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chuse a horse made, and a wife to make. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49174]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chuse a horse made, and a wife to make.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In plain words, Chaos was the law of nature Order was the dream of man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36462]]></link><description><![CDATA[In plain words, Chaos was the law of nature Order was the dream of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Certainly the notion of putting music video on phones will increase over time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Certainly the notion of putting music video on phones will increase over time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65194]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is pleasant, when the sea runs high, to view from land the great distress of another. [Lat., Suave mari ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42809]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is pleasant, when the sea runs high, to view from land the great distress of another. [Lat., Suave mari magno, turbantibus aequora ventis  E terra magnum alterius spectare laborum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For just when ideas fail, a word comes in to save the situation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27966]]></link><description><![CDATA[For just when ideas fail, a word comes in to save the situation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the Greeks said, "Whom the gods love die young," they probably meant, as Lord Sankey suggested, that those favored ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52349]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the Greeks said, "Whom the gods love die young," they probably meant, as Lord Sankey suggested, that those favored by the gods stay young till the day they die; young and playful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing a book is an adventure.

His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item></channel></rss>
