They cannot wait for God; they do not trust Him, nor ever did. Would you have the presence of God with you? Learn to wait quietly for the salvation you expect from Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever God erects a house of prayer The devil always builds a chapel there;  And 'twill be found, upon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8673]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever God erects a house of prayer The devil always builds a chapel there;  And 'twill be found, upon examination,   The latter has the largest congregation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The setting sun, and music at the close, As the last taste of sweets, is sweetest last, Writ in remembrance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55814]]></link><description><![CDATA[The setting sun, and music at the close, As the last taste of sweets, is sweetest last, Writ in remembrance more than things long past. -King Richard II.

Stipendiary clergy cut off by training and life from that common experience are constantly struggling to get close to the laity by wearing lay clothing, sharing in lay amusements, and organizing lay clubs; but they never quite succeed. To get close to men, it is necessary really to share their experience, and to share their experience is to share it by being in it, not merely to come as near to it as possible without being in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes a neighbor whom we have disliked a lifetime for his arrogance and conceit lets fall a single commonplace remark ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44373]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes a neighbor whom we have disliked a lifetime for his arrogance and conceit lets fall a single commonplace remark that shows us another side, another man really; a man uncertain, puzzled and in the dark like ourselves]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're trying to build an event that obviously has the entertainment, but also build an outdoor festival flair where there's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39029]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're trying to build an event that obviously has the entertainment, but also build an outdoor festival flair where there's lots of things for people to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When somebody gives you a sexy look, you know they're trying.

It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion.... Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw doubt, but, when once decided, going through his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known.... He was, indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man ... On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect ... it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great....]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, A Death in the Family, Shorter Fiction ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36986]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, A Death in the Family, Shorter Fiction]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The really idle man gets nowhere.
