Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment; for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sparrows chirped as if they still were proud Their race in Holy Writ should mentioned be.   - ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57316]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sparrows chirped as if they still were proud Their race in Holy Writ should mentioned be.   - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, everybody would prefer to play inside, you know, because the conditions are totally different.

We shrink from the consequences of truth. We look round and cling dependently. We ask what men will think; what others will say; whether they will not stare in astonishment. Perhaps they will; but he who is calculating that, will accomplish nothing in this life. The Father -- the Father which is with us and in us -- what does He think? God's work cannot be done without a spirit of independence. A man is got some way in the Christian life when he has learned to say, humbly yet majestically, "I dare to be alone.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A heathy garden is a reflection of a healthy soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17192]]></link><description><![CDATA[A heathy garden is a reflection of a healthy soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Life! thou art a galling load, Along a rough, a weary road, To wretches such as I. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24884]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Life! thou art a galling load, Along a rough, a weary road, To wretches such as I.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius . . . arises in the natural, aboriginal concern for the conscious unity of all phenomena. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius . . . arises in the natural, aboriginal concern for the conscious unity of all phenomena.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white.

When, unarmed and defenseless, He said to the Roman power, "My Kingdom is not of this world," He spoke the word of inauguration. Over the kingdom of the elemental forces, over the kingdom of the animal, over the kingdom of the intellect, He beheld rising, with Himself as prophet and embodiment, that kingdom of the spiritual whose forces should be those of purity and sacrifice, love and trust, obedience and service. It is the last of the kingdoms because it is the highest; it will be the most enduring for there is nothing that can take its place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For many years the Christians met in homes and never possessed any special buildings for their gatherings.
