But however easy any work may be, it can not be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow, in which no work can be done any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Birth of John the Baptist   The Present is the point at which Time touches Eternity. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8548]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Birth of John the Baptist   The Present is the point at which Time touches Eternity.

He would therefore have them continually concerned either with Eternity (which means being concerned with Him) or with the Present -- either meditating on their eternal union with, or separation from, Himself; or else obeying the present voice of conscience, bearing the present cross, receiving the present grace, giving thanks for the present pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He, who holds out but a doubtful hope of succour to the afflicted, denies it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51158]]></link><description><![CDATA[He, who holds out but a doubtful hope of succour to the afflicted, denies it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51158</guid></item></channel></rss>
