To say that we must wait for the other world, to know the mind of Him who came to this world to give Himself to us, seems to me the foolishness of a worldly and lazy spirit. The Son of God is the teacher of men, giving to them of His Spirit -- that Spirit which manifests the deep things of God, being to a man the mind of Christ. The great heresy of the Church of the present day is unbelief in this Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous.

Now contrarily I bless myself, and am thankful that I lived not in the days of miracles, that I never saw Christ nor His Disciples; I would not have been one of those Israelites that passed the Red Sea, nor one of Christ's patients, on whom He wrought His wonders; then had my faith been thrust upon me, nor should I enjoy that greater blessing pronounced to all that believe and saw not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is got over the devil's back is spent under his belly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12148]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is got over the devil's back is spent under his belly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A really patient servant of God is as ready to bear inglorious troubles as those which are honorable.
