But thus much may we learn from these heathens, that if the dead, and we, be not upon one floor, nor under one story, yet we are under one roof. We think not a friend lost, because he has gone into another room, nor because he has gone into another land: and into another world, no man has gone; for that Heaven, which God created, and this world, is all one world... I spend none of my faith, I exercise none of my hope, in this, that I shall have my dead raised to life again. This is the faith that sustains me, when I lose by the death of others, or when I suffer by living in misery myself: that the dead and we are now all in one Church, and at the resurrection, shall be all in one Choir.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of Scripture, is to jeer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23204]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of Scripture, is to jeer and flout him, for he cannot bear scorn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a team they know that they can finish high and be in contention in tournaments.

But it's tough to work with, especially when you get the curly koa. Because of the complexity of the grain, it's a very challenging wood. Mango is a fabulous wood and it's underrated. For some reason, it doesn't carry the influence that koa does. Mango is some beautiful wood. I work some 30 varieties, generally, because I love the variety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suggestions or comments on this site?

Without it no church can be a New Testament church in any strict meaning of that term. But exposition may be carried on in such a way as to leave the hearers devoid of any true spiritual nourishment whatever. For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience they are not the better for having heard the truth. The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those are some of the steps taken to make sure the Visa Waiver Program ( search ) is a safe ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37280]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those are some of the steps taken to make sure the Visa Waiver Program ( search ) is a safe and effective way to letting people get into the United States, because obviously we don't want to choke off travel here altogether.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature does not give to those who will not spend... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature does not give to those who will not spend...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once I guessed right, And I got credit by't;  Thrice I guessed wrong,   And I kept my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62460]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once I guessed right, And I got credit by't;  Thrice I guessed wrong,   And I kept my credit on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All evolution in thought and conduct must at first appear as heresy and misconduct. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14338]]></link><description><![CDATA[All evolution in thought and conduct must at first appear as heresy and misconduct.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53342]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I follow him, to serve my turn upon him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51434]]></link><description><![CDATA[I follow him, to serve my turn upon him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure there is one less rascal in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure there is one less rascal in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no vice so simple but assumes Some mark of virtue in his outward parts. -The Merchant of Venice. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55592]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no vice so simple but assumes Some mark of virtue in his outward parts. -The Merchant of Venice.
