Yet I had no slight esteem of the Holy Scriptures; they were very precious to me, for I was in that spirit by which they were given forth; and what the Lord opened in me, I afterwards found was agreeable to them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Denys, Bishop of Paris, & his Companions, Martyrs, 258 Commemoration of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, Philosopher, Scientist, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6409]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Denys, Bishop of Paris, & his Companions, Martyrs, 258 Commemoration of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, Philosopher, Scientist, 1253   Holy Orders is a vocation from God; it is not a profession which we enter expecting an advance, or some sort of recognition as a right after so many years of work. But it is rather the giving up of self into the hands of God, without stint and without reserve, and letting Him set the work. It is the recognition of the fact that God has many kinds of work to be done, and that the best paid are not always the most honourable. To enter or exercise the ministry with a view to preferment is like marrying for money and not for love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here's to the maiden of bashful fifteen; Here's to the widow of fifty;  Here's to the flaunting, extravagant quean; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59415]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here's to the maiden of bashful fifteen; Here's to the widow of fifty;  Here's to the flaunting, extravagant quean;   And here's to the housewife that's thrifty.    (Chorus:) Let the toast pass,--     Drink to the lass,      I'll warrant she'll prove an excuse for the glass.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coming into the game, we had everything laid out on offense.

These are my sentiments; and every day of my life, I bless my Redeemer, who has implanted them in me, and who, out of a man full of weakness, of miseries, of lust, of pride, and of ambition, has made a man free from all these evils by the power of His grace, to which all the glory of it is due, as of myself I have only misery and error.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It [the war in Vietnam] poisons everything.
