You are not called to get to heaven, to do good, or to be good -- you are called to belong to Jesus Christ. The doing good, the being good, and the getting to heaven, are the by-products of that belonging. The center of conversion is the belonging of a person to a Person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worry is interest paid on trouble before it is due. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62287]]></link><description><![CDATA[Worry is interest paid on trouble before it is due.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Alfred the Great, King of the West Saxons, Scholar, 899 Commemoration of Cedd, Founding Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7303]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Alfred the Great, King of the West Saxons, Scholar, 899 Commemoration of Cedd, Founding Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of the East Saxons, 664    All the revelations of God, as well as the laws of men, go upon this presumption, that men are not stark fools, but that they will consider their interest and have some regard to the great concernment of their eternal salvation. And this is as much to secure men from mistake in matters of belief as God hath afforded to keep men from sin in matters of practice. He hath made no effectual and infallible provision that men shall not sin; and yet it would puzzle any man to give a good reason why God should take more care to secure men against errors in belief than against sin and wickedness in their lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It wouldn't be New Year's if I didn't have regrets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64520]]></link><description><![CDATA[It wouldn't be New Year's if I didn't have regrets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Amid thy desert-walks the lapwing flies, And tires their echoes with unvaried cries. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24087]]></link><description><![CDATA[Amid thy desert-walks the lapwing flies, And tires their echoes with unvaried cries.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65509]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerance.

Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian.

Here lies the ground of the great efficacy of prayer, which when it is the prayer of the heart, the prayer of faith, has a kindling and creating power, and forms and transforms the soul into everything that the desire reaches after: it has the key to the Kingdom of Heaven and unlocks all its treasures; it opens, extends and moves that in us which has its being and motion in and with the divine nature. and so it brings us into real union and Communion with God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8356]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children.
