The good I have is from His stores supplied, The ill is only what He deems the best; He for my friend, I'm rich with naught beside, And poor without Him, though of all possessed; Changes may come, I take or I resign Content, while I am His, and He is mine. Whate'er may change, in Him no change is seen, A glorious Sun that wanes not nor declines; Above the storms and clouds He walks serene, And on His people's inward darkness shines; All may depart: I fret not, nor repine, While I my Saviours am, while He is mine. While here, alas! I know but half His love, But half discern Him, and but half adore; But when I meet Him in the realms above I hope to love him better, praise Him more, And feel, and tell, amid the choir divine, How fully I am His, and He is mine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2182]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, while the heart of the fool is in the house of entertainment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who devotes sixteen hours a day to hard study may become at sixty as wise as he thought himself ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8012]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who devotes sixteen hours a day to hard study may become at sixty as wise as he thought himself at twenty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evildoers delight in hiding themselves; shun appearing; are bewildered when discovered; being accused, deny; not even when tortured, readily or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evildoers delight in hiding themselves; shun appearing; are bewildered when discovered; being accused, deny; not even when tortured, readily or always confess; certainly mourn when condemned; sum up against themselves, impute either to fate or to the stars the impulses of a wicked mind; for they will not have that to be their own, which they acknowledge to be evil. But what doth the Christian like this? None is ashamed, none repenteth, save that he was not such long ago. If he be marked down, he glorieth; if accused, maketh no defense; being questioned, confesseth even of his own accord; being condemned, giveth thanks. What manner of evil is this, which hath not the natural marks of evil, fear, shame, shrinking, penitence, sorrow? What manner of evil is this, whereof he that is accused rejoiceth?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I scored a lot in high school.
