Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone.

Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to be a part forever, what patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer, and knows that success for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It brings attention back to a lot of the risks in pharmaceuticals right now with regards to drug safety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35451]]></link><description><![CDATA[It brings attention back to a lot of the risks in pharmaceuticals right now with regards to drug safety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wedding is just like a funeral except that you get to smell your own flowers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16267]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wedding is just like a funeral except that you get to smell your own flowers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Free men freely work: Whoever fears God, fears to sit at ease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Free men freely work: Whoever fears God, fears to sit at ease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're very proud of where we come from. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31275]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're very proud of where we come from.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Labor disgraces no man, but occasionally men disgrace labor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22209]]></link><description><![CDATA[Labor disgraces no man, but occasionally men disgrace labor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women are not forgiven for aging.
