When I joined the army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all my boyish hopes and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most barracks ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away.  And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty.

But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3967]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days. [Fr., Le premier pas, mon fils, que l'on fait dans le monde,  Est celui dont depend le reste de nos jours.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like all writers, he measured the achievements of others by what they had accomplished, asking of them that they measure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62407]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like all writers, he measured the achievements of others by what they had accomplished, asking of them that they measure him by what he envisaged or planned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first duty of society is to give each of its members the possibility of fulfilling his destiny.
