When we thus live wholly unto God, God is wholly ours and we are then happy in all the happiness of God; for by uniting with Him in heart, and will, and spirit, we are united to all that He is and has in Himself. This is the purity and perfection of life that we pray for in the Lord's Prayer, that God's kingdom may come and His will be done in us, as it is in Heaven. And this we may be sure is not only necessary, but attainable by us, or our Saviour would not have made it a part of our daily prayer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most precious things in speech are the pauses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57349]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most precious things in speech are the pauses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must loose a flie to catch a trout. [You must lose a fly to catch a trout.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50136]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must loose a flie to catch a trout. [You must lose a fly to catch a trout.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A person cannot love a plant after he has pruned it, then he has either done a poor job or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64011]]></link><description><![CDATA[A person cannot love a plant after he has pruned it, then he has either done a poor job or is devoid of emotion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is safety in numbers.

We also are not worrying about immortality, hardly believe in it, or at least are not sure; we, too, have limited ourselves to this dust-speck of time, leaving unclaimed the vast inheritance beyond of which Christ told us; we, too, are putting all our zeal and passion and enthusiasm into things of this earth here, quite sure that that is the only road to progress, and that this everlasting chatter about the soul is quite beside the point. And they are all so earnest and so certain, work so hard, are animated often by such lofty motives, are so sure that there is really no manner of need for Christ: that given this, and this, and this, each of them pushing forward his particular panacea -- the world will manage very well; that to talk about Christ, and changing people's hearts, and making us new creatures, is merely to lose precious time and wander from the practical into vague day-dreaming of which nothing comes. And year by year their voices grow a little harder, and they eye Christ more and more askance, feel sourly that He is a bit of a nuisance and a stumbling-block to progress, keeping people quiet who should not be quiet, lulling them with these dim, immaterial, fantastic, spiritual hopes of His which they think have no body, and can not have. Once more the whisper grows, "Were He not far better away?" Meantime we can ignore Him, they say; and they do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7536</guid></item></channel></rss>
