In this latter case, our actions arise from a principle of self-will: we are eager and anxious for the success, and that under the pretense of seeking the glory of God. O, God, grant me Thy grace to enable me to be faithful in action and resigned in success! My only business is to do Thy will, and to do it as Thy will, not forgetting Thee in the performance of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is generally more good news, a lower unemployment rate, additional seasonally adjusted job growth, continued growth and improvement in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29639]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is generally more good news, a lower unemployment rate, additional seasonally adjusted job growth, continued growth and improvement in the Oregon economy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Traditions are the guideposts driven deep in our subconscious minds.
