Yet there was a case, in which David found an ease, to fall into the hands of God, to scape the hands of men: When God's hand is bent to strike, it is a fearefull thing, to fall into the hands of the living God; but to fall out of the hands of the living God, is a horror beyond our expression, beyond our imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never wedding, ever wooing, Still a lovelorn heart pursuing,  Read you not the wrong you're doing   In ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62014]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never wedding, ever wooing, Still a lovelorn heart pursuing,  Read you not the wrong you're doing   In my cheek's pale hue?    All my life with sorrow strewing;     Wed or cease to woo.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552  As long as I see any thing to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6512]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552  As long as I see any thing to be done for God, life is worth having; but O how vain and unworthy it is to live for any lower end!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense is not so common. [Fr., Le sens commun n'est pas si common.]   - Voltaire (Francois Marie ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55113]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common sense is not so common. [Fr., Le sens commun n'est pas si common.]   - Voltaire (Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A manufacturing district . . . sends out, as it were, suckers into all its neighborhood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5031]]></link><description><![CDATA[A manufacturing district . . . sends out, as it were, suckers into all its neighborhood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man.

May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending. Teach love to those who hate, and let that love embrace you as you go out into the world. May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched and whose have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter that is more important than the form. May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart. Find time each day to see beauty and love in the world around you. Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way. What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future. May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience. May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments. May you always feel loved. -Unknown.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our ability to continue to increase market share for these new products has been one of the keys to our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40603]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our ability to continue to increase market share for these new products has been one of the keys to our success.

And it would be nice to accept your view that this just shows we are made to live by charity. I'm afraid, however, I detect two much less attractive reasons for the ease of my own intercessory prayers. One is that I am often, I believe, praying for others when I should be doing things for them. It's so much easier to pray for a bore than to go and see him. And the other is like unto it. Suppose I pray that you may be given grace to withstand your besetting sin (short list of candidates for this post will be forwarded on demand). Well, all the work has to be done by God and you. If I pray against my own besetting sin there will be work for me. One sometimes fights shy of admitting an act to be a sin for this very reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We kind of expected him to be suspended.
