But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time a newspaper dies, even a bad one, the country moves a little closer to authoritarianism; when a great ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every time a newspaper dies, even a bad one, the country moves a little closer to authoritarianism; when a great one goes, like the New York Herald Tribune, history itself is denied a devoted witness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Verily, great grace may go with a little gift; and precious are all things that come from friends. -Theocritus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Verily, great grace may go with a little gift; and precious are all things that come from friends. -Theocritus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More important than the quest for certainty is the quest for clarity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52718]]></link><description><![CDATA[More important than the quest for certainty is the quest for clarity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maybe the interrogations have come to an end.

Not always; sometimes He, Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. And "by still waters" ? No, not always so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waves and billows go. But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by, And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." So, where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.  ... Anonymous    July 24, 1998  Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  If thou shalt remain faithful and zealous in labour, doubt not that God shall be faithful and bountiful in rewarding thee.
