Neither trouble your heads though you have not commentaries and exposition. Pray and read, read and pray; for a little from God is better than a great deal from men. Also, what is from men is uncertain, and is often lost and tumbled over by men; but what is from God is fixed as a nail in a sure place. There is nothing that so abides with us as what we receive from God; and the reason why the Christians in this day are at such a loss as to some things is that they are contented with what comes from men's mouths, without searching and kneeling before God to know of Him the truth of things. Things we receive at God's hands come to us as truths from the minting house, though old in themselves, yet new to us. Old truths are always new to us if they come with the smell of Heaven upon them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prosperity is a feeble reed. [Fr., C'est un faible roseau que la prosperite.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48492]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prosperity is a feeble reed. [Fr., C'est un faible roseau que la prosperite.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today's public figures can no longer write their own speeches or books, and there is some evidence that they can't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57354]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today's public figures can no longer write their own speeches or books, and there is some evidence that they can't read them either.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boys are beyond the range of anybody's sure understanding, at least when they are between the ages of 18 months ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4800]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boys are beyond the range of anybody's sure understanding, at least when they are between the ages of 18 months and 90 years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All men love peace in their armchairs after dinner;
