John Henry Newman  September 10, 2000   Evangelism is not an option for the Christian life.   ... Luis Palau  September 11, 2000   Lord, behold our family here assembled. We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle [Samoa]... Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not be, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.   ... Robert Louis Stevenson  September 12, 2000   Devotion is the real spiritual sweetness which takes away all bitterness from mortifications, and prevents consolations from disagreeing with the soul; it cures the poor of sadness, and the rich of presumption; it keeps the oppressed from feeling desolate, and the prosperous from insolence: it averts sadness from the lonely, and dissipation from social life; it is as warmth in winter and as refreshing dew in summer; it knows how to abound and how to suffer want, how to profit alike by honour and by contempt; it accepts gladness and sadness with an even mind, and fills men's hearts with a wondrous sweetness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Maybe she simply cared in a self-protective way.] Doing something on impulse, ... well, it can work, but there are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39533]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Maybe she simply cared in a self-protective way.] Doing something on impulse, ... well, it can work, but there are a lot of examples that say, 'Better to leave well alone and do what you can as a reporter.'

I've said to people, if you feel it's wrong just being a reporter and you can't do enough, well it's time to become an aid worker and train to be someone who really knows what to do.

Our danger lies in resisting Him; so it is essential that we acquire the habit of hearkening to His voice, or keeping silence within, and listening so as to lose nothing of what He says to us. We know well enough how to keep outward silence, and to hush our spoken words, but we know little of interior silence. It consists in hushing our idle, restless, wandering imagination, in quieting the promptings of our worldly minds, and in suppressing the crowd of unprofitable thoughts which excite and disturb the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never completed high school and I am very rich and very successful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5392]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never completed high school and I am very rich and very successful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9274]]></link><description><![CDATA[For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In every countrey the sun rises in the morning. [In every country the sun rises in the morning.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49538]]></link><description><![CDATA[In every countrey the sun rises in the morning. [In every country the sun rises in the morning.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no such uncertainty as a sure thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5458]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no such uncertainty as a sure thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no foul play suspected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31667]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no foul play suspected.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man, at the bottom of his heart, wants to do right.

It is the recognition by man's higher nature of sources of comfort and hope beyond anything that sense-knowledge discloses. It is the consciousness of a Divine Father toward Whom goes out all that is in affection and highest in moral aspiration; it is the premonition of a future life of which the best attainment here is but the twilight promise. In our day, the sudden and vast revelation of material wonders unsteadies and dims for the moment the spiritual sight; but the stars will shine clear again.  The truth-seeking spirit and the spirit of faith, instead of being opposed, are in the deepest harmony. The man whose faith is most genuine is most willing to have its assertions tested by the severest scrutiny. And the passion for truth has underlying it a profound conviction that what is real is best; that when we get to the heart of things we shall find there what we most need. Faith is false to itself when it dreads truth, and the desire for truth is prompted by an inner voice of faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many individuals have, like uncut diamonds, shining qualities beneath a rough exterior. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52669]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many individuals have, like uncut diamonds, shining qualities beneath a rough exterior.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good life, as I conceive it, is a happy life.
