Here we gather together for no earthly business, but for a purpose of one sort only; and that purpose is the same for which saints and angels are met together in that innumerable company before the throne of God. If there is a place on earth which, however faintly and dimly, shadows out the courts of God on high, surely it is where His people are met together, in all their weakness and ignorance and sin, in their poor and low estate, yet with humble and faithful hearts, in His House of Prayer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the preacher's merit or demerit, It were to be wished that the flaws were fewer  In the earthen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48069]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the preacher's merit or demerit, It were to be wished that the flaws were fewer  In the earthen vessel, holding treasure,   But the main thing is, does it hold good measure    Heaven soon sets right all other matters!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My faith helps me overcome such negative emotions and find my equilibrium. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65246]]></link><description><![CDATA[My faith helps me overcome such negative emotions and find my equilibrium.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wonder when someone will grow the testicles to say to americans everywhere, 'Enough with the self-medicating.'

The danger is that we may fail to perceive life's greatest meaning, fall short of its highest good, miss its deepest and most abiding happiness, be unable to tender the most needed service, be unconscious of life ablaze with the light of the Presence of God -- and be content to have it so -- that is the danger: that some day we may wake up and find that always we have been busy with husks and trappings of life and have really missed life itself. For life without God, to one who has known the richness and joy of life with Him, is unthinkable, impossible. That is what one prays one's friends may be spared -- satisfaction with a life that falls short of the best, that has in it no tingle or thrill that comes from a friendship with the Father.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What all the ads and all the whoreoscopes seemed to imply was that if only you were narcissistic enough, if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15573]]></link><description><![CDATA[What all the ads and all the whoreoscopes seemed to imply was that if only you were narcissistic enough, if only you took proper care of your smells, your hair, your boobs, your eyelashes, your armpits, your crotch, your stars, your scars, and your choice of Scotch in bars--you would meet a beautiful, powerful, potent, and rich man who would satisfy every longing, fill every hole, make your heart skip a beat (or stand still), make you misty, and fly you to the moon (preferably on gossamer wings), where you would live totally satisfied forever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where the bee sucks, there suck I; In a cowslip's bell I lie. -The Tempest.
