We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We estimate the wisdom of nations by seeing what they did with their surplus capital. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15688]]></link><description><![CDATA[We estimate the wisdom of nations by seeing what they did with their surplus capital.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out of too much learning become mad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Out of too much learning become mad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am optimistic and confident in all that I do.I affirm only the best for myself and others.I am the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21991]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am optimistic and confident in all that I do.I affirm only the best for myself and others.I am the creator of my life and my world.I meet daily challenges gracefully and with complete confidence.I fill my mind with positive, nurturing, and healing thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gladys Aylward, Missionary in China, 1970   [Leaders of the anarchist movement in Amsterdam] call their public ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6757]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Gladys Aylward, Missionary in China, 1970   [Leaders of the anarchist movement in Amsterdam] call their public demonstrations "Happenings". These paintings, these poems, and these demonstrations... are the expression of men who are struggling with their appalling lostness. Dare we laugh at such things? Dare we feel superior when we view their tortured expressions in their art? Christians should stop laughing and take such men seriously. Then we shall have the right to speak again to our generation. These men are dying while they live, yet where is our compassion for them? There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or without compassion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By nature we have no defect that could not become a strength, no strength that could not become a defect ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43757]]></link><description><![CDATA[By nature we have no defect that could not become a strength, no strength that could not become a defect]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13857]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her polish'd limbs, Veil'd in a simple robe, their best attire;  Beyond the pomp of dress; for Loveliness  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2769]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her polish'd limbs, Veil'd in a simple robe, their best attire;  Beyond the pomp of dress; for Loveliness   Needs not the foreign aid of ornament,    But is, when unadorn'd the most.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is unthinkable without risk and spiritual self-sacrifice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is unthinkable without risk and spiritual self-sacrifice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Is there no hope?" the sick man said, The silent doctor shook his head,  And took his leave with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26693]]></link><description><![CDATA["Is there no hope?" the sick man said, The silent doctor shook his head,  And took his leave with signs of sorrow,   Despairing of his fee to-morrow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26693</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is important that man dreams, but it is perhaps equally important that he can laugh at his own dreams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52151]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is important that man dreams, but it is perhaps equally important that he can laugh at his own dreams.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you reach for the stars, you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12916]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you reach for the stars, you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all human powers operating on the affairs of mankind, none is greater than that of competition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9237]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all human powers operating on the affairs of mankind, none is greater than that of competition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The key to faith is what we are willing to sacrifice to obtain it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53299]]></link><description><![CDATA[The key to faith is what we are willing to sacrifice to obtain it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27797]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trees in Siberia are miles apart, that is why the dogs are so fast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12689]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trees in Siberia are miles apart, that is why the dogs are so fast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bird that soars on highest wing, Builds on the ground her lowly nest;  And she that doth most ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24098]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bird that soars on highest wing, Builds on the ground her lowly nest;  And she that doth most sweetly sing,   Sings in the shade when all things rest:    In lark and nightingale we see     What honor hath humility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chaos is inherent in all compounded things.
