What heavy burdens from our bosoms take,  What parched ground refresh as with a shower! We kneel, and all around us seems to lower; We rise, and all, the distant and the near, Stands forth in sunny outline brave and clear; We kneel, how weak! we rise, how full of power! Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong,  Or other, that we are not always strong, That we are ever overborne with care, That we should ever weak or heratless be, Anxious or troubled, when with us is prayer, And joy and strength and courage are with Thee!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of my merit On that pint you yourself may jedge:  All is, I never drink no sperit,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of my merit On that pint you yourself may jedge:  All is, I never drink no sperit,   Nor I haint never signed no pledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And ye shall know the truth,and the truth shall make you free. -John VII. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59846]]></link><description><![CDATA[And ye shall know the truth,and the truth shall make you free. -John VII.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you've heard this story before, don't stop me, because I'd like to hear it again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23311]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you've heard this story before, don't stop me, because I'd like to hear it again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who love deeply never grow old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2211]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who love deeply never grow old.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Leo the Great, Bishop of Rome, 461   How wonderful it is -- is it not? -- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6731]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Leo the Great, Bishop of Rome, 461   How wonderful it is -- is it not? -- that literally only Christianity has taught us the true place and function of suffering. The Stoics tried the hopeless little game of denying its objective reality, or of declaring it a good in itself (which it never is); and the Pessimists attempted to revel in it, as a food to their melancholy, and as something that can no more be transformed than it can be avoided or explained. But Christ came, and He did not really explain it; He did far more: He met it, willed it, transformed it; and He taught us to do all this -- or, rather, He Himself does it within us, if we do not hinder the all-healing hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["My country, right or wrong," is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except a desperate case.

Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guido the plumber and Michelangelo obtained their marble from the same quarry, but what each saw in the marble made ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Guido the plumber and Michelangelo obtained their marble from the same quarry, but what each saw in the marble made the difference between a nobleman's sink and a brilliant sculpture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Long stood the noble youth oppress'd with awe, And stupid at the wondrous things he saw,  Surpassing common faith, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Long stood the noble youth oppress'd with awe, And stupid at the wondrous things he saw,  Surpassing common faith, transgressing nature's law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Briefly, that teaching contains the following elements: (1) There is one living and true God (i.9); (2) Idolatry is sinful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Briefly, that teaching contains the following elements: (1) There is one living and true God (i.9); (2) Idolatry is sinful and must be forsaken (i.9); (3) The wrath of God is ready to be revealed against the heathen for their impurity (iv.6), and against the Jews for their rejection of Christ and their opposition to the Gospel (ii.15,16); (4) The judgment will come suddenly and unexpectedly (v.2,3); (5) Jesus, the Son of God (i.1O), given over to death (v.10), and raised from the dead (iv.14), is the Saviour from the wrath of God (i.10); (6) The Kingdom of Jesus is now set up and all men are invited to enter it (ii.12); (7) Those who believe and turn to God are now expecting the coming of the Savior who will return from Heaven to receive them (i.10; iv.15-17); (8) Meanwhile, their life must be pure (iv.1-8), useful (iv.11-12), and watchful (v.14-8); (9) To that end, God has given them His Holy Spirit (iv.8; v.19).
