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?"

The surest symbol of spiritual earnestness will be the checkbook, the affections, and the ego-drive surrendered to Him. A disciple must have discipline. He must not be afraid of being asked by God for some of the time, the money, and the pleasure he has been in the habit of calling his "own". This does not mean that there will not be time for the family, and time for some healthy diversion. But it does mean that we are never -- on vacation, or wherever we may be -- exempt from our primary commitment to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sorrow concealed, like an oven stopp'd, Doth burn the heart to cinders, where it is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sorrow concealed, like an oven stopp'd, Doth burn the heart to cinders, where it is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would imagine that most people who read newspapers and look at Web sites are aware of headlines being made ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41673]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would imagine that most people who read newspapers and look at Web sites are aware of headlines being made on substantially higher metal costs.
