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 think the British have the distinction above all other nations of being able to put new wine into old ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31998]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the British have the distinction above all other nations of being able to put new wine into old bottles without bursting them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a very important protest, with thousands and thousands of citizens defending their freedom ... they are not going ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29317]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a very important protest, with thousands and thousands of citizens defending their freedom ... they are not going to give in to the persecution to which they are subjected,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We become wiser by adversity; prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/720]]></link><description><![CDATA[We become wiser by adversity; prosperity destroys our appreciation of the right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can't be done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63389]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can't be done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In suggesting gifts: Money is appropriate, and one size fits all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15946]]></link><description><![CDATA[In suggesting gifts: Money is appropriate, and one size fits all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43579]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was pretty neat.
