Poor, timorous, faithless souls that we are! How we shall smile at our vain alarms, when the worst has happened! To us here, death is the most terrible word we know. But when we have tasted its reality, it will mean to us birth, deliverance, a new creation of ourselves. It will be what health is to the sick man. It will be what home is to the exile. It will be what the loved one given back is to the bereaved. As we draw near to it, a great solemn gladness should fill our hearts. It is God's great morning lighting up the sky.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children.

It is illogical to tell men that they must do the will of God and accept his gospel of grace, if you also tell them that the obligation has no eternal significance, and that nothing ultimately depends on it. The curious modern heresy that everything is bound to come right in the end is so frivolous that I will not insult you by refuting it. "I remember," said Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on one occasion, "that my Maker has said that he will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left." That is a solemn truth which only the empty-headed and empty-hearted will neglect. It strikes at the very roots of life and destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has a coarse texture and a rich, beefy taste only matched by hanger steak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30736]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has a coarse texture and a rich, beefy taste only matched by hanger steak.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All honor's wounds are self-inflicted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63794]]></link><description><![CDATA[All honor's wounds are self-inflicted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men after death are understood worse than men of the present, but heard better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men after death are understood worse than men of the present, but heard better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The drops of rain make a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by oftfalling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21964]]></link><description><![CDATA[The drops of rain make a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by oftfalling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For a strolling damsel a doubtful reputation bears. [Ger., Denn ein wanderndes Madchen ist immer von schwankendem Rufe.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53881]]></link><description><![CDATA[For a strolling damsel a doubtful reputation bears. [Ger., Denn ein wanderndes Madchen ist immer von schwankendem Rufe.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In most parts of the Bible, everything is implicitly or explicitly introduced with "Thus saith the Lord".

It is... not merely a sacred book but a book so remorselessly and continuously sacred that it does not invite -- it excludes or repels -- the merely aesthetic approach. You can read it as literature only by a tour de force... It demands incessantly to be taken on its own terms: it will not continue to give literary delight very long, except to those who go to it for something quite different.
