Neither trouble your heads though you have not commentaries and exposition. Pray and read, read and pray; for a little from God is better than a great deal from men. Also, what is from men is uncertain, and is often lost and tumbled over by men; but what is from God is fixed as a nail in a sure place. There is nothing that so abides with us as what we receive from God; and the reason why the Christians in this day are at such a loss as to some things is that they are contented with what comes from men's mouths, without searching and kneeling before God to know of Him the truth of things. Things we receive at God's hands come to us as truths from the minting house, though old in themselves, yet new to us. Old truths are always new to us if they come with the smell of Heaven upon them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66403]]></link><description><![CDATA[The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you come in and you don't play the way you should it's frustrating, especially after a trade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32952]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you come in and you don't play the way you should it's frustrating, especially after a trade.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63585]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am persuaded there is among the mass of our people a fund of wisdom, integrity, and humanity which will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38419]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am persuaded there is among the mass of our people a fund of wisdom, integrity, and humanity which will preserve their happiness in a tolerable measure]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is difficult to esteem a man as highly as he would wish. [Fr., Il est difficile d'estimer quelqu'un comme ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60389]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is difficult to esteem a man as highly as he would wish. [Fr., Il est difficile d'estimer quelqu'un comme il veut l'etre.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have always felt a gift diamond shines so much better than one you buy for yourself ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17424]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have always felt a gift diamond shines so much better than one you buy for yourself]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wycliffe, Reformer, 1384   The gist of what Wycliffe has to say on every point is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6320]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wycliffe, Reformer, 1384   The gist of what Wycliffe has to say on every point is practically this, that where the Church and the Bible do not agree, we must prefer the Bible; that where authority and conscience appear to be rival guides, we shall be much safer in following conscience; and that where the letter and the spirit seem to be in conflict, the spirit is above the letter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12388]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then fail, we will survive all disasters, we will out-live all misfortune.
