A Fox, envying him the honor, discovered a piece of meat lying in a trap, and leading the Monkey to the place where it was, said that she had found a store, but had not used it, she had kept it for him as treasure trove of his kingdom, and counseled him to lay hold of it.

If life be long I will be glad,  That I may long obey; If short--yet why should I be sad  To soar to endless day? Christ leads me through no darker rooms  Than He went through before; He that unto God's kingdom comes,  Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet  Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet,  What will Thy glory be! Then shall I end my sad complaints,  And weary, sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints,  To sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that life is small,  The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,  And I shall be with him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm just glad to have another day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37371]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm just glad to have another day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judges selected Pay By Touch as the winner in this category for bringing an innovative business solution that allows smaller ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Judges selected Pay By Touch as the winner in this category for bringing an innovative business solution that allows smaller and mid-sized businesses to compete on equal footing with larger businesses -- as well as for their ability to offer this solution to customers around the world.
