Not always; sometimes He, Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. And "by still waters" ? No, not always so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waves and billows go. But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by, And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." So, where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.  ... Anonymous    July 24, 1998  Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  If thou shalt remain faithful and zealous in labour, doubt not that God shall be faithful and bountiful in rewarding thee. It is thy duty to have a good hope that thou wilt attain the victory: but thou must not fall into security lest thou become slothful or lifted up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lifetime is more than sufficiently long for people to get what there is of it wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24854]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lifetime is more than sufficiently long for people to get what there is of it wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hope of impunity is the greatest inducement to do wrong. [Lat., Maxima illecebra est peccandi impunitatis spes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19775]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hope of impunity is the greatest inducement to do wrong. [Lat., Maxima illecebra est peccandi impunitatis spes.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men in no way approach so nearly to the gods as in doing good to men. [Lat., Homines ad deos ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17849]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men in no way approach so nearly to the gods as in doing good to men. [Lat., Homines ad deos nulla re propius accedunt, quam salutem hominibus dando.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our supplies of natural resources are not finite in any economic sense.

But what, precisely, is the Kingdom of Heaven? You cannot point to existing specimens, saying, "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" You can only experience it. But what is it like, so that when we experience it we may recognize it? Well, it is a change, like being born again and relearning everything from the start. It is secret, living power -- like yeast. It is something that grows, like seed. It is precious like buried treasure, like a rich pearl, and you have to pay for it. It is a sharp cleavage through the rich jumble of things which life presents: like fish and rubbish in a draw-net, like wheat and tares; like wisdom and folly; and it carries with it a kind of menacing finality; it is new, yet in a sense it was always there -- like turning out a cupboard and finding there your own childhood as well as your present self; it makes demands, it is like an invitation to a royal banquet -- gratifying, but not to be disregarded, and you have to live up to it; where it is equal, it seems unjust; where it is just it is clearly not equal -- as with the single pound, the diverse talents, the labourers in the vineyard, you have what you bargained for; it knows no compromise between an uncalculating mercy and a terrible justice -- like the unmerciful servant, you get what you give; it is helpless in your hands like the King's Son, but if you slay it, it will judge you; it was from the foundations of the world; it is to come; it is here and now; it is within you. It is recorded that the multitudes sometimes failed to understand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Buy at a faire, but sell at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49167]]></link><description><![CDATA[Buy at a faire, but sell at home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first principle of success is desire -- knowing what you want.
