([Dr. Arthur] Way's translation shows this.) One line in a song that comes in Romans 8 has been a great help to me. Way calls the song a "Hymn of Triumph to Jesus". This is the line: "How can He [the Father] but, in giving Him [Jesus], lavish on us all things -- all?" "Freely give" means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can come to a decision that positively impacts all three of those then you've made the best decision. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33917]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can come to a decision that positively impacts all three of those then you've made the best decision.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought is action in rehearsal ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59161]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thought is action in rehearsal]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience, n. -- A minor form of despair, disguised as a virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45741]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience, n. -- A minor form of despair, disguised as a virtue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't one of you fire until you see the whites of their eyes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61181]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't one of you fire until you see the whites of their eyes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46391]]></link><description><![CDATA[The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Birth and ancestry, and that which we have not ourselves achieved, we can scarcely call our own. [Lat., Nam genus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2501]]></link><description><![CDATA[Birth and ancestry, and that which we have not ourselves achieved, we can scarcely call our own. [Lat., Nam genus et proavos et quae non fecimus ipsi  Vix ea nostra voco.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let those deplore their doom, Whose hope still grovels in this dark sojourn:  But lofty souls, who look beyond ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15375]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let those deplore their doom, Whose hope still grovels in this dark sojourn:  But lofty souls, who look beyond the tomb,   Can smile at Fate, and wonder how they mourn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In 1992 and 1993, people thought I was crazy.

These are talents in their kind; but it is the Spirit that must manage all that learning they have, or it will prejudice them, and you also. I have known some good men who have been so addicted to their study, that they have thought the last day of the week sufficient to prepare for their ministry, though they employ all the rest of the week in other studies. But you business is to trade with your spiritual abilities... A man may preach a very good sermon, who is otherwise himself; but he will never make a good minister of Jesus Christ, whose mind and heart [are] not always in the work. Spiritual gifts will require continual ruminating on the things of the Gospel in our minds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee And I'll forgive Thy great big one on me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17706]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee And I'll forgive Thy great big one on me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hospitality should have no other nature than love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hospitality should have no other nature than love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fate chooses our relatives, we choose our friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fate chooses our relatives, we choose our friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.
