Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone. When, in your hard fight, in your tiresome drudgery, or in your terrible temptation, you catch the purpose of your being and give yourself to God, and so give Him the chance to give Himself to you, your life -- a living stone -- is taken up and set into that growing wall. Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to be a part forever, what patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer, and knows that success for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't look on poetry as closed works.

It is no mere subjective instinct, ... no blind outreach. If it met no response, no answer, it would soon be weeded out of the race. Prayer has stood the test of experience. In fact, the very desire to pray is in itself prophetic of a heavenly Friend. So this native need of the soul rose out of the divine origin of the soul, and it has steadily verified itself as a safe guide to reality. In the first instance it is not asking for anything, it is not petition; all it seeks is God Himself: Let me find Thee, let me know Thee, then I will ask of Thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever the number of a man's friends, there will be times in his life when he has one too few; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13845]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever the number of a man's friends, there will be times in his life when he has one too few; but if he has only one enemy, he is lucky indeed if he has not one too many.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spring bursts to-day, For Christ is risen and all the earth's at play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spring bursts to-day, For Christ is risen and all the earth's at play.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There were lots of good times in all levels of swimming.
