Wherever, in any world, a soul, by free-willed obedience, catches the fire of God's likeness, it is set into the growing walls, a living stone.

Wherever souls are being tried and ripened, in whatever commonplace and homely ways, there God is hewing out the pillars for His temple. Oh, if the stone can only have some vision of the temple of which it is to be a part forever, what patience must fill it as it feels the blows of the hammer, and knows that success for it is simply to let itself be wrought into what shape the Master wills.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then rush'd to meet the insulting foe; They took the spear, but left the shield. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4852]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then rush'd to meet the insulting foe; They took the spear, but left the shield.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the fundamental theory of all the more recent American law...that the average citizen is half-witted, and hence not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47477]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the fundamental theory of all the more recent American law...that the average citizen is half-witted, and hence not to be trusted to either his own devices or his own thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9323]]></link><description><![CDATA[In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before.
