Your first duty is to begin by prayer. Entreat the Lord to grant you, of His great mercy, the true understanding of His Word. There is no other interpreter of the Word of God than the Author of this Word, as He Himself has said, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45). Hope for nothing from your own labors, from your own understanding: trust solely in God, and in the influence of His Spirit. Believe this on the word of a man who has experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We Asians are the original Conservatives because for thousands of years we have believed in free enterprise… you have just ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15765]]></link><description><![CDATA[We Asians are the original Conservatives because for thousands of years we have believed in free enterprise… you have just stolen our philosophy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't like something, change it.

We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with Him. When we love anyone with our whole hearts, life begins when we are with that person; it is only in their company that we are really and truly alive. It is so with Christ. In this world our contact with Him is shadowy, for we can only see through a glass darkly. It is spasmodic, for we are poor creatures and cannot live always on the heights. But the best definition of it is to say that heaven is that state where we will always be with Jesus, and where nothing will separate us from Him any more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Springes to catch woodcocks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51252]]></link><description><![CDATA[Springes to catch woodcocks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Clement, Bishop of Rome, Martyr, c.100 Thanksgiving (U.S.)   Eternal life is not an unending continuance of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6300]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Clement, Bishop of Rome, Martyr, c.100 Thanksgiving (U.S.)   Eternal life is not an unending continuance of this life--that would, perhaps, be Hell--but Eternal Life is quite a different life, divine, not mundane; perfect, not earthly; true life, not corrupt half-life. We cannot form a conception of Eternal Life. What we imagine is ever simply of the earth, temporal, worldly. Nor could we know anything about our eternal life if it had not appeared in Jesus Christ. In him we realize that we were created for the eternal life. If we ask, what is this eternal life? what sense is there in thinking about it if we can have no conception of it?, the answer is, "It is life with God, in God, from God; life in perfect fellowship." Therefore it is a life in love, it is love itself. It is a life without the nature of death and sin, hence without sorrow, pain, anxiety, care, misery. To know this suffices to make one rejoice in eternal life. If there were no eternal life, this life of time would be without meaning, goal, or purpose, without significance, without seriousness and without joy. It would be nothing. That our life does not end in nothing, but that eternal life awaits us, is the glad message of Jesus Christ. He came to give us this promise as a light in this dark world. A Christian is a man who has become certain of eternal life through Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whereto serves mercy But to confront the visage of offense? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whereto serves mercy But to confront the visage of offense?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The connection between conscious and unconscious poses particular problems in the dancer because the body is the soul of action. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60038]]></link><description><![CDATA[The connection between conscious and unconscious poses particular problems in the dancer because the body is the soul of action.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19948]]></link><description><![CDATA[When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Sundaies of man's life, Thredded together on time's string,  Make bracelets to adorn the wife   Of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54589]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Sundaies of man's life, Thredded together on time's string,  Make bracelets to adorn the wife   Of the eternal, glorious King.    On Sunday heaven's gates stand ope;     Blessings are plentiful and rife.      More plentiful than hope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Mill gets by going. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49894]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Mill gets by going.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hilda, Abbess of Whitby, 680 Commemoration of Elizabeth, Princess of Hungary, Philanthropist, 1231 Commemoration of Mechtild, Bèguine of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7042]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hilda, Abbess of Whitby, 680 Commemoration of Elizabeth, Princess of Hungary, Philanthropist, 1231 Commemoration of Mechtild, Bèguine of Magdeburg, Mystic, Prophet, 1280   Where, then, does happiness lie? In forgetfulness, not indulgence, of the self. In escape from sensual appetites, not in their satisfaction We live in a dark, self-enclosed prison, which is all we see or know if our glance is fixed ever downward. To lift it upward, becoming aware of the wide, luminous universe outside -- this alone is happiness. At its highest level, such happiness is the ecstasy that mystics have inadequately described At more humdrum levels, it is human love; the delights and beauties of our dear earth, its colors and shapes and sounds; the enchantment of understanding and laughing, and all other exercise of such faculties as we possess; the marvel of the meaning of everything, fitfully glimpsed, inadequately expounded, but ever present.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is difficult to fly without wings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50876]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is difficult to fly without wings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't be afraid to take a big step.
