Yet I had no slight esteem of the Holy Scriptures; they were very precious to me, for I was in that spirit by which they were given forth; and what the Lord opened in me, I afterwards found was agreeable to them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cursed Mammon be, when he with treasures To restless action spurs our fate!  Cursed when for soft, indulgent leisures, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cursed Mammon be, when he with treasures To restless action spurs our fate!  Cursed when for soft, indulgent leisures,   He lays for us the pillows straight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ability hits the mark where presumption overshoots and diffidence falls short. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ability hits the mark where presumption overshoots and diffidence falls short.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Small projects need much more help than great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Small projects need much more help than great.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats.

Jesus said, What the masters in Israel teach, what the Pharisees and the Scribes teach, is perfectly correct. There was no dogma which was the cause of controversy between Jesus and the nation; there was no new custom that Jesus introduced: He went into the Temple every day, He observed the ordinances and festivals of Israel. What was the subject of dispute and controversy between Jesus and the Jews? It was no doctrine, it was no innovation, it was Jesus Himself whom they rejected. There was an antipathy in them to the person of Jesus: it was the Lord Himself whom they hated, because they hated the Father... But Jesus knew... that it was because He was one with the Father, because He was the express image of His being, because He was the perfect manifestation of the character of God, that they hated Him; and therefore Jesus was pained, not because they hated Him, but because they hated in Him the Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had rather be a kitten and cry mew Than one of these same metre ballet-mongers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3701]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had rather be a kitten and cry mew Than one of these same metre ballet-mongers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
