And what He does is to come to each soul partaking in the Sacrament and to assure it that He stands to the best and biggest of His promises and to the fullness of His grace in Christ... de-universalizes the Scriptures and individualizes them, makes them a personal promise, couched no longer in general terms but offered to very you and very me, as individually as if they covered no other but referred to you and me alone. We may be cold and dead and unresponsive. None the less, something happens in the Sacrament. For God stands to His side of the Covenant, whether we stand to ours or not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, and he who has one enemy will meet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13833]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, and he who has one enemy will meet him everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At times, it's hard to practice against him because he's relentless for the offense to win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32767]]></link><description><![CDATA[At times, it's hard to practice against him because he's relentless for the offense to win.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.

An Ant passed by,bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to thenest.Why not come and chat with me, said the Grasshopper,instead of toiling and moiling in that way?I am helping to lay up food for the winter, said the Ant,and recommend you to do the same.Why bother about winter? said the Grasshopper; we have gotplenty of food at present. But the Ant went on its way andcontinued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had nofood and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the antsdistributing every day corn and grain from the stores they hadcollected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live every day as if it were your last and then some day you'll be right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28047]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live every day as if it were your last and then some day you'll be right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is the substance from which I am made.
