They have Christ, they have God, and they are satisfied. There can be no monotony in the contemplation and worship of the Infinite. Their great possession is unchangeable, but also inexhaustible; no change is possible where all is love and truth. The centre of the heavenly life is fixed and immovable, but the circumference may ever be advancing towards the centre, the saints may ever be drawing nearer and nearer to the goal which they can never reach. There may be progress in knowledge, progress in enjoyment, progress in service -- a progress which at every point will open up new wonders, new opportunities, new outlooks into a greater future, and as that future unfolds itself, new and unexpected scopes for the energies of redeemed men, new ways of fellowship with God in Christ, new companionships with the good and great of past generations, and with angelic beings who have watched and guarded us in life, and rejoiced over our repentance, and are ready to welcome us into the eternal mansions, and will share our worship and our work, our service and our joy, in the ages to come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If only the net was just a little wider.

It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.   ... Maltbie D. Babcock August 7, 2000 Commemoration of John Mason Neale, Priest, Poet, 1866   For all the vigour of his polemic, St. Paul does not content himself with the denunciation of error, but finds the best defense against its insidious approaches in a closer adherence to the love of God and faith in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, I had two strings to my bow; both golden ones, egad! and both cracked. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51969]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes, I had two strings to my bow; both golden ones, egad! and both cracked.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go put your creed into your deed, Not speak with double tongue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11687]]></link><description><![CDATA[Go put your creed into your deed, Not speak with double tongue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One can acquire everything in solitude except character. - On Love, 1822. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25496]]></link><description><![CDATA[One can acquire everything in solitude except character. - On Love, 1822.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, will anybody deny now that the Government at Washington, as regards its own people, is the strongest government in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, will anybody deny now that the Government at Washington, as regards its own people, is the strongest government in the world at this hour?
