But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26966]]></link><description><![CDATA[The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel like a fugitive from the law of averages. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24261]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel like a fugitive from the law of averages.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tyranny of a multitude is a multiplied tyranny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52455]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tyranny of a multitude is a multiplied tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man ceased to be an ape, vanquished the ape, on the day the first book was written. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4594]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man ceased to be an ape, vanquished the ape, on the day the first book was written.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real glory springs from the silent conquest of ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17571]]></link><description><![CDATA[Real glory springs from the silent conquest of ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prudence is the knowledge of things to be sought, and those to be shunned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51963]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prudence is the knowledge of things to be sought, and those to be shunned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gravity is a contributing factor in nearly 73 percent of all accidents involving falling objects. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54787]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gravity is a contributing factor in nearly 73 percent of all accidents involving falling objects.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more vulgar than haste. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18793]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more vulgar than haste.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good taste is the modesty of the mind;

It is certainly important to have an intellectual grasp of the orb of Christian truth; but it is still more important to have a vital, living experience of the power of Jesus Christ. When a man undergoes treatment from a doctor, he does not need to know the way in which the drug works on his body in order to be cured. There is a sense in which Christianity is like that. At the heart of Christianity there is a mystery, but it is not the mystery of intellectual appreciation; it the mystery of redemption.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never forget that no military leader has ever become great without audacity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never forget that no military leader has ever become great without audacity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We realize our dilemma goes deeper than shortage of time; it is basically a problem of priorities.
