I remember you and recall you without effort, without exercise of will; that is, by natural impulse, indicated by a sense of duty, or of obligation. And that, I take it, is the only sort of remembering worth the having. When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy -- that it is built upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.

Neither canst thou be delivered or eased by any remedy or comfort; but so long as it pleaseth God, thou oughtest to bear it. For God will have thee learn to suffer tribulation without comfort, and that thou subject thyself wholly to Him, and by tribulation become more humble. No man hath so cordial a feeling of the Passion of Christ, as he that hath suffered the like himself. The Cross therefore is always ready, and everywhere waits for thee. Thou canst not escape it, whithersoever thou runnest; for wheresoever thou goest, thou carriest thyself with thee, and shalt ever find thyself. Both above and below, without and within, which way so ever thou dost turn thee, everywhere thou shalt find the Cross; and everywhere of necessity thou must hold fast patience, if thou wilt have inward peace, and enjoy an everlasting crown.  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ June 8, 1996 Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  The charm of the words of great men, those grand sayings which are recognized as true as soon as heard, is this, that you recognize them as wisdom which has passed across your own mind. You feel that they are your own thoughts come back to you, else you would not at once admit them. "All of that has floated across me before, only I could not say it, and did not feel confident enough to assert it: or had not conviction enough to put it into words." Yes, God spoke to you what He did to them: only, they believed it, said it, trusted the Word within them; and you did not. Be sure that often when you say, "It is only my own poor thought, and I am alone," the real correcting thought is this: "Alone, but the Father is with me, and therefore I can live that lonely conviction.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heroes are created by popular demand, sometimes out of the scantiest materials. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19266]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heroes are created by popular demand, sometimes out of the scantiest materials.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prejudices are what fools use for reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16356]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prejudices are what fools use for reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every problem has a gift for you in its hands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17422]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Between leading indicators and subdued inflation expectations, it's really set a nice backdrop for the market today, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36830]]></link><description><![CDATA[Between leading indicators and subdued inflation expectations, it's really set a nice backdrop for the market today,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be what thou wouldst seeme to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49146]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be what thou wouldst seeme to be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The future lies before you, like paths of pure white snow.
