Its seers and prophets are not men of philosophic mind, who have risen from the seen to the unseen and, by dint of much reflection, have gradually attained to elevated conceptions of Him who is the Author of all that is. They are men of God whom God has chosen, that He might speak to them and, through them, to His people. Israel has not, in and by them, created for itself a God: God has, through them, created for Himself a people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60612]]></link><description><![CDATA[I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man was made at the end of the week's work, when God was tired ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27048]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man was made at the end of the week's work, when God was tired]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can picture guys sitting out in their yard, working in their yard, bending over to plant some trees or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37318]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can picture guys sitting out in their yard, working in their yard, bending over to plant some trees or something, and half their crack shows, ...

([Dr. Arthur] Way's translation shows this.) One line in a song that comes in Romans 8 has been a great help to me. Way calls the song a "Hymn of Triumph to Jesus". This is the line: "How can He [the Father] but, in giving Him [Jesus], lavish on us all things -- all?" "Freely give" means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3163]]></link><description><![CDATA[The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My art springs from my desire to have things in the world which would otherwise never be there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30989]]></link><description><![CDATA[My art springs from my desire to have things in the world which would otherwise never be there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Difference of object does not alter singleness of passion.
