Not always; sometimes He, Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. And "by still waters" ? No, not always so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waves and billows go. But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by, And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." So, where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.  ... Anonymous    July 24, 1998  Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  If thou shalt remain faithful and zealous in labour, doubt not that God shall be faithful and bountiful in rewarding thee. It is thy duty to have a good hope that thou wilt attain the victory: but thou must not fall into security lest thou become slothful or lifted up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather...

True, working at the hardware store didn't pay much, but he felt it was better than what everybody else did, which was go up to the volcano and collect the gold nuggets it shot out every day. It turned out he was right. After forty years, the volcano petered out. Everybody left town, and the hardware store went broke. Finally he decided to collect gold nuggets too, but there weren't many left by then. Plus, he broke his leg and the doctor's bills were real high.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'll see things "you never knew you never knew.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21653]]></link><description><![CDATA[You'll see things "you never knew you never knew.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The total alteration in underlying circumstances has not been squarely faced, As a result, we are guided, in part, by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13330]]></link><description><![CDATA[The total alteration in underlying circumstances has not been squarely faced, As a result, we are guided, in part, by ideas that are relevant to another world. ...
