Which siding with invention, they together  Bear all the sway, possessing heart and brain (Thy workmanship), and give thee share in neither. Wit fancies beauty, beauty raiseth wit:  The world is theirs; they two play out the game,  Thou standing by: and though thy glorious name Wrought our deliverance from th' infernal pit, Who sings thy praise? only a scarf or glove  Doth warm our hands, and make them write of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In those days we usually had 12 to 15 boys with two staff.

Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone. When, in your hard fight, in your tiresome drudgery, or in your terrible temptation, you catch the purpose of your being and give yourself to God, and so give Him the chance to give Himself to you, your life -- a living stone -- is taken up and set into that growing wall. Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to be a part forever, what patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer, and knows that success for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Middle age is having a choice between two temptations and choosing the one that’ll get you home earlier. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27446]]></link><description><![CDATA[Middle age is having a choice between two temptations and choosing the one that’ll get you home earlier.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing tires a man more than to be grateful all the time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing tires a man more than to be grateful all the time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't see much risk of a blow out in financial credit spreads any time soon.
