For my part, I must not only say, but plead whilst I live in this world, and leave this testimony to the present and future ages, if these papers see the light and do survive, that if I have ever seen any thing in the ways and worship of God wherein the power of religion or godliness hath been expressed, any thing that hath represented the holiness of the gospel and the Author of it, any thing that hath looked like a preludium unto the everlasting Sabbath and rest with God, which we aim through grace to come unto, it hath been there and with them where and amongst whom the Lord's day hath been had in highest esteem, and a strict observation of it attended unto, as an ordinance of our Lord Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The kids tend to be younger and don't have as much driving experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30448]]></link><description><![CDATA[The kids tend to be younger and don't have as much driving experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our goal is always to hold the other team to 15 points or less.

It is just here that our awareness that Jesus is our contemporary and that Calvary is relevant to our present human situation ought to help us greatly. And that is not merely because in his relationships with others during his earthly life in Palestine Jesus exemplified all that I have tried to say about human relationships. In every genuine human encounter with another person we may become aware of Jesus, and meet with him. This may sound fanciful, but there is much in the Scriptures and in Christian experience which suggests that Jesus is frequently met in the traffic of person with person, provided that there is a genuine encounter between them. Jesus himself showed that for this to happen demands courage and a willingness to move from a life that is centred in itself. So if we are to pass out of that lonely world of isolation then we must be prepared to take the risks that are always involved when we allow persons to confront us as persons and do not regard them as things. Yet, dangerous though it may be to live in this way, it is the only way to live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To have a smattering knowledge of anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48531]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have a smattering knowledge of anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Familiarity breeds contempt. [Lat., Nimia familiaritas parit contemptum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Familiarity breeds contempt. [Lat., Nimia familiaritas parit contemptum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Base is the slave that pays. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56601]]></link><description><![CDATA[Base is the slave that pays.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tolerance and celebration of individual differences is the fire that fuels lasting love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/940]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tolerance and celebration of individual differences is the fire that fuels lasting love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lose your dreams and you might lose your mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a dear little plant that grows in our isle, 'Twas St. Patrick himself sure that set it;  And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23040]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a dear little plant that grows in our isle, 'Twas St. Patrick himself sure that set it;  And the sun on his labor with pleasure did smile,   And with dew from his eye often wet it.    It thrives through the bog, through the brake, and the mireland;     And he called it the dear little shamrock of Ireland--      The sweet little shamrock, the dear little shamrock,       The sweet little, green little, shamrock of Ireland!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In default of inexhaustible happiness, eternal suffering would at least give us a destiny.
