But now I may say I heard, but I understood not; for they were far above, out of my reach; for their talk was about a new birth -- the work of God on their hearts.

But I have revised my opinion. There's So-and-so (that's you, you understand), that is a man in whom the thing is obviously working out. He used to be so touchy, so opinionative, so mean and shabby in his views, so dully ordinary. Yet now, undoubtedly, the man has won to self-control and a large generous mind, and -- yea, I know it's a queer thing to say -- but he has won to something more, something that somehow (though he never speaks about those things) makes you remember Jesus Christ!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis strange the miser should his cares employ To gain those riches he can ne'er enjoy;  Is it less ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42744]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis strange the miser should his cares employ To gain those riches he can ne'er enjoy;  Is it less strange the prodigal should waste   His wealth to purchase what he ne'er can taste?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Condemned whole years in absence to deplore, And image charms he must behold no more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Condemned whole years in absence to deplore, And image charms he must behold no more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/154</guid></item></channel></rss>
