Just as love to God begins with listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them... Listening can be a greater service than speaking... One who cannot listen long and patiently will presently be talking beside the point and be never really speaking to others. Anyone who thinks his time is too valuable to spend keeping quiet will eventually have no time for God and his brother, but only for himself and for his own follies...   We should listen with the ears of God that we may speak the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all complexions the culled sovereignty Do meet, as at a fair, in her fair cheek,  Where several worthies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all complexions the culled sovereignty Do meet, as at a fair, in her fair cheek,  Where several worthies make one dignity,   Where nothing wants that want itself doth seek.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can have anything you want if you will give up the belief that you can't have it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4055]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can have anything you want if you will give up the belief that you can't have it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   In holy Scripture is fully contained what we ought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6351]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   In holy Scripture is fully contained what we ought to do, and what to eschew; what to believe, what to love, and what to look for at God's hands at length. In these Books we shall find the father from whom, the son by whom, and the holy Ghost in whom all things have their being and keeping up, and these three persons to be but one God, and one substance.   Read [Holy Scripture] humbly with a meek and lowly heart, to the intent you may glorify God, and not your self, with the knowledge of it: and read it not without daily praying to God, that he would direct your reading to good effect: and take upon you to expound it no further than you can plainly understand it. For (as Saint Augustine says) the knowledge of holy Scripture is a great, large, and a high place, but the door is very low, so that the high & arrogant man cannot run in: but he must stoop low, and humble himself, that shall enter into it... The humble man may search any truth boldly in the Scripture, without any danger of error. (Continued tomorrow)   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 4, 2001 Commemoration of Felix, Bishop, Apostle to the East Angles, 647 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   Scripture in some places is easy, and in some places hard to be understood. This have I said, as touching the fear to read, through ignorance of the person. And concerning the hardness of Scripture, he that is so weak that he is not able to [eat] strong meat, yet he may suck the sweet and tender milk, and defer the rest, until he wax stronger, and come to more knowledge. For God receives the learned and unlearned, and casts away none, but [does not discriminate]. And the Scripture is full as well of low valleys, plain ways, and easy for every man to use, and to walk in: as also of high hills & mountains, which few men can climb unto.   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 5, 2001 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   We are to believe and follow Christ in all things, including his words about Scripture. And this means that Scripture is to be for us what it was to him: the unique, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God, and not merely a human testimony to Christ, however carefully guided and preserved by God. If the Bible is less than this to us, we are not fully Christ's disciples.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are cold, tea will warm you; If you are too heated, it will cool you; If you are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11934]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are cold, tea will warm you; If you are too heated, it will cool you; If you are depressed, it will cheer you; If you are excited, it will calm you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many brave men lived before Agamemnon; but, all unwept and unknown, are lost in the distant night, since they are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4857]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many brave men lived before Agamemnon; but, all unwept and unknown, are lost in the distant night, since they are without a divine poet (to chronicle their deeds). [Lat., Vixere fortes ante Agamemnona  Multi; sed omnes illacrimabiles   Urguentur ignotique sacro.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just love making a fool out of myself.

In the bedroom you grew up in. It's the only place on this entire planet that is yours. The only place on the planet that understands you. It understands the way your nerves flare everytime you think about talking to anyone, scared into shyness at the thought of opening your mouth but the way you are the best hypocrite around when you're in front of a microphone. It knows what turns that switch on and off and on again. It understands the way when you don't have a smile on your face everyone only spits: "what's wrong"s and "you look tired"s. So the way you keep it on your face just wide enough to avoid questions. It understands how neurotic you have become, the way you treat your flaws like old friends.
