It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.   ...

Babcock August 7, 2000 Commemoration of John Mason Neale, Priest, Poet, 1866   For all the vigour of his polemic, St. Paul does not content himself with the denunciation of error, but finds the best defense against its insidious approaches in a closer adherence to the love of God and faith in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must therefore love me, myself, and not my circumstances, if we are to be real friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16769]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must therefore love me, myself, and not my circumstances, if we are to be real friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The finest and noblest ground on which people can live is truth; the real with the real; a ground on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59884]]></link><description><![CDATA[The finest and noblest ground on which people can live is truth; the real with the real; a ground on which nothing is assumed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Example is the best precept. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57102]]></link><description><![CDATA[Example is the best precept.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wisp of gossamer, about the size and substance of a spider's web. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15356]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wisp of gossamer, about the size and substance of a spider's web.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46388]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creator Venus, genial power of love, The bliss of men below, and gods above!  Beneath the sliding sun thou ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Creator Venus, genial power of love, The bliss of men below, and gods above!  Beneath the sliding sun thou runn'st thy race,   Dost fairest shine, and best become thy place;    For thee the winds their eastern blasts forbear,     Thy mouth reveals the spring, and opens all the year;      Thee, goddess, thee, the storms of winter fly,       Earth smiles with flowers renewing, laughs the sky.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy,  Whose trust, ever childlike, no cares could destroy,  Be there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6910]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy,  Whose trust, ever childlike, no cares could destroy,  Be there at our waking, and give us, we pray,  Your bliss in our hearts, Lord, at the break of the day.

As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must not lose faith in humanity.
