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[Thou hast the keys of Paradise, O just, subtle, and mighty opium! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou hast the keys of Paradise, O just, subtle, and mighty opium!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age has deformities enough of its own.

There are too many who are devout, but not students. They will not accept the discipline of study and of learning, and they even look with suspicion upon the further knowledge which study brings to men. There are equally too many who are students, but not devout. They are interested too much in intellectual knowledge, and too little in the life of prayer and in the life of service of their fellow men. A man would do well to aim at being not only a student, and not only devout, but at being a devout student.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have measured many a mile To tread a measure with you on this grass. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

It is cantankerous, and it is independent. The idea of independence is the key. It really is like colonialism. The colonies suddenly decide that they can and should exist with their own personality and should detach from the control of the mother country. At first the colony is perceived as being treacherous. It's a betrayal. Ultimately, it can be seen as the separation of a partner that could be very valuable as an equal rather than as something you dominate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And bid the devil take the hin'most. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12139]]></link><description><![CDATA[And bid the devil take the hin'most.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service ofothers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21100]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service ofothers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66060]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The assumption that spending more of the taxpayer's money will make things better has survived all kinds of evidence that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56747]]></link><description><![CDATA[The assumption that spending more of the taxpayer's money will make things better has survived all kinds of evidence that it has made things worse.
