Should I serve Him from desire of gaining heaven, may He keep me out. But should I worship Him from love alone, He reveal Himself to me, that my whole heart may be filled with His love and presence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Must a government of necessity be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Must a government of necessity be too strong for the liberties of its people or too weak to maintain its own existence?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't know I was a slave until I found out I couldn't do the things I wanted ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56570]]></link><description><![CDATA[I didn't know I was a slave until I found out I couldn't do the things I wanted]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The expression often used by Mr. Herbert Spencer of the Survival of the Fittest is more accurate, and is sometimes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14349]]></link><description><![CDATA[The expression often used by Mr. Herbert Spencer of the Survival of the Fittest is more accurate, and is sometimes equally convenient.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will be great security problems as a result of the U.S. presence, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36206]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will be great security problems as a result of the U.S. presence,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You see an awful lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61941]]></link><description><![CDATA[You see an awful lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Puritan hated bear-baiting, not because it gave pain to the bear, but because it gave pleasure to the spectators. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10792]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Puritan hated bear-baiting, not because it gave pain to the bear, but because it gave pleasure to the spectators.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His resolution is unshaken; tears, though shed, avail not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51805]]></link><description><![CDATA[His resolution is unshaken; tears, though shed, avail not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Nicholas Ferrar, Deacon, Founder of the Little Gidding Community, 1637  Many a congregation when it assembles in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7767]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Nicholas Ferrar, Deacon, Founder of the Little Gidding Community, 1637  Many a congregation when it assembles in church must look to the angels like a muddy, puddly shore at low tide; littered with every kind of rubbish and odds and ends --a distressing sort of spectacle. And then the tide of worship comes in, and it's all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm signing up kids right now.

They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard; Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. -As You Like It. Act ii. Sc. 7.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He hath borne himself beyond the promise of his age, doing in the figure of a lamb the feats of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14634]]></link><description><![CDATA[He hath borne himself beyond the promise of his age, doing in the figure of a lamb the feats of a lion.
