Eccl. 12:6. When he understood it, he called for his friends, and told them of it. Then said he, I am going to my Father's; and though with great difficulty I have got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a witness for me that I have fought His battles who will now be my rewarder. When the day that he must go hence was come, many accompanied him to the river-side, into which as he went, he said, "Death, where is thy sting?" And as he went down deeper, he said, "Grave, where is thy victory?" 1 Cor. 15:55. So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How use doth breed a habit in a man! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51539]]></link><description><![CDATA[How use doth breed a habit in a man!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm extraordinarily patient provided I get my own way in the end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66553]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm extraordinarily patient provided I get my own way in the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just then return'd at shut of evening flowers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just then return'd at shut of evening flowers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was obvious we were stalling like a hurricane in the middle of the ocean, ... not going anywhere, so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34860]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was obvious we were stalling like a hurricane in the middle of the ocean, ... not going anywhere, so why not give the young guys a shot?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comparisons are odorous. -Much Ado about Nothing.

Suppose three unexcused absences required that the individual's name be automatically dropped from the roll, and he could be reinstated only by special vote of the body. Suppose absences from services had to be made up by attending services in some other place, or by carrying out some special project. Suppose church members had to be re-elected to membership each year, and that their attendance and participation in the program of activities determined how the vote went. Oh, well -- just suppose.   ... from The Baptist Messenger  September 16, 2002 Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 Commemoration of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Priest, tractarian, 1882   This seems a cheerful world, Donatus, when I view it from this fair garden, under the shadow of these vines. But if I climbed some great mountain and looked out over the wide lands, you know very well what I would see--brigands on the high roads, pirates on the seas; in the amphitheaters men murdered to please applauding crowds; under all roofs misery and selfishness. It is really a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. Yet in the midst of it I have found a quiet and holy people. They have discovered a joy which is a thousand times better than any pleasures of this sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are the Christians -- and I am one of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the night Shows stars and women in a better light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44519]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the night Shows stars and women in a better light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48657]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How index-learning turns no student pale, Yet holds the eel of science by the tale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54832]]></link><description><![CDATA[How index-learning turns no student pale, Yet holds the eel of science by the tale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Principle, particularly moral principal, can never be a weathervane, spinning around this way and that with the shifting winds of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43129]]></link><description><![CDATA[Principle, particularly moral principal, can never be a weathervane, spinning around this way and that with the shifting winds of expediency.

And then the tide of worship comes in, and it's all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64964]]></link><description><![CDATA[He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being wise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was pleased with representation on the committee.

Sing, creatures, sing; the dust that lives by lure and lust Is kindled by the thrust of life undying; This hope our Master bare has made all fortunes fair, And man can on and dare, his death defying. After the winter snows a wind of healing blows, And thorns put forth a rose, and lilies cheer us; Life's everlasting spring has robbed death of his sting, Henceforth a cry can bring our Master near us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15179]]></link><description><![CDATA[A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite, obedient, and sterile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62389]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite, obedient, and sterile.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my shoulders. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17396]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my shoulders.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our high respect for a well-read man is praise enough for literature.   - Ralph Waldo Emerson, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our high respect for a well-read man is praise enough for literature.   - Ralph Waldo Emerson,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always try to keep a patch of sky above your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65961]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always try to keep a patch of sky above your life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aim at perfection in everything, though in most things it is unattainable.

I hope I am not wrong in saying that there is nothing Christian in such an attitude. It savours of the Paganism that saw behind the world a kind of ironical malice; that made Polycrates throw his ring into the sea, and called the Furies the Kindly Ones, if haply they might be so appeased.   But we stand outside this world of darkness, for we have learnt that all things were created by the eternal Word, who is Christ Jesus. We know, in the Pauline phrase, that it is in Him that the whole universal order of things consists or holds together. Those who have come to know that, know in consequence that they are in their Father's house. It is a big house, and they have begun to explore only a little of it. It has great reaches, and some of them are still shadowy. But it is His house, all of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He had a face like a benediction (blessing). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14856]]></link><description><![CDATA[He had a face like a benediction (blessing).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ultimately, it will be much faster than it is now. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38299]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ultimately, it will be much faster than it is now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shepherds at the grange, Where the Babe was born,  Sang with many a change,   Christmas carols until ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8635]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shepherds at the grange, Where the Babe was born,  Sang with many a change,   Christmas carols until morn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shared sovereignty doesn't work, because sovereignty depends on being able to exercise authority, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42451]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shared sovereignty doesn't work, because sovereignty depends on being able to exercise authority,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work at it night and day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Work at it night and day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do what you should, not what you may. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do what you should, not what you may.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Through tattered clothes small vices do appear; Robes and furred gowns hide all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51340]]></link><description><![CDATA[Through tattered clothes small vices do appear; Robes and furred gowns hide all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good news is that after seeing very significant reduced spending overall, companies are projecting a slight recovery for 2003. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39801]]></link><description><![CDATA[The good news is that after seeing very significant reduced spending overall, companies are projecting a slight recovery for 2003.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who believes in freedom of the will has never loved and never hated.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63894]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who believes in freedom of the will has never loved and never hated.rn]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5891]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There, right in the midst of our lives, is that which satisfies the craving for inequality, and acts as a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19932]]></link><description><![CDATA[There, right in the midst of our lives, is that which satisfies the craving for inequality, and acts as a permanent reminder that medicine is not food. Hence a man’s reaction to monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be ‘debunked;' but watch the faces, mark the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But no one should have the right to manipulate my films in the first place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32686]]></link><description><![CDATA[But no one should have the right to manipulate my films in the first place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us be thankful for the fools; but for them the rest of us could not succeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16201]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us be thankful for the fools; but for them the rest of us could not succeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our kids are playing at or above any level of expectations that anyone has outside of Deep Run.
