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. And methought they spake as if Joy did make them speak; they spake with such pleasantness of scripture language and with such appearance of grace in all they said, that they were to me as if they had found a new world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Iranians were just jumping on the bandwagon.

If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we wish for others determines what we allow for ourselves.

Unknown  Stop the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time and emotional and spiritual energy in explaining why we don't have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it. •Greg Anderson   A man of the world must seem to be what he wishes to be thought. •Jean De La Bruyère   Wishes expand in direct proportion to the resources available for their gratification. •Robert Dato  A wish is a desire without an attempt. •Farmer Digest  Oh, the secret life of man and woman -- dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest. •Zelda Fitzgerald  Men try to run life according to their wishes; life runs itself according to necessity. •Jean Toomer  Some people develop a wishbone where their backbone should be. •Anonymous  Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible. •St. Augustine   When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. •Elizabeth Bowen   Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires. •Goethe   Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skepticism: the mark and even the pose of the educated mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44256]]></link><description><![CDATA[Skepticism: the mark and even the pose of the educated mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our differences are politics, our agreements principles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1929]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our differences are politics, our agreements principles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56813]]></link><description><![CDATA[...each new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's teaching them that they can save up their money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31152]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's teaching them that they can save up their money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Donne, Priest, Poet, 1631  You rob, and spoile, and eat his people as bread, by Extortion, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8244]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Donne, Priest, Poet, 1631  You rob, and spoile, and eat his people as bread, by Extortion, and bribery, and deceitful waights and measures, and deluding oathes in buying and selling, and then come hither, and so make God your Receiver, and his house a den of Thieves.
