Improper negative thoughts sink people. A ship can sail around the world many, many times, but just let enough water get into the ship and it will sink. Just so with the human mind.

It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.   ... Maltbie D. Babcock August 7, 2000 Commemoration of John Mason Neale, Priest, Poet, 1866   For all the vigour of his polemic, St. Paul does not content himself with the denunciation of error, but finds the best defense against its insidious approaches in a closer adherence to the love of God and faith in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will get good attention and people will be more inclined to listento you if you can make a statement ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22116]]></link><description><![CDATA[You will get good attention and people will be more inclined to listento you if you can make a statement whereby their response is, "NoShit!" or at least, "No kidding!".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of every ten persons who talk about you, nine will say something bad, and the tenth will say something good ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17914]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of every ten persons who talk about you, nine will say something bad, and the tenth will say something good in a bad way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is conscious of guilt cannot bear the innocence of others: So they will try to reduce all others ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18486]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is conscious of guilt cannot bear the innocence of others: So they will try to reduce all others to their own level.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To jealousy, nothing is more frightful than laughter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23164]]></link><description><![CDATA[To jealousy, nothing is more frightful than laughter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No pleasure endures unseasoned by variety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60435]]></link><description><![CDATA[No pleasure endures unseasoned by variety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm in.

Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody.

As the New Testament uses the word, faith is trust, acceptance, commitment, vision. It is not a belief in this or that creed, it is a quality which lies rather in the realm of intuition than the intellect. Faith has indeed an element of true simplicity; it is one of the qualities -- perhaps the fundamental quality -- of the child-like spirit without which no man can enter the Kingdom of God.  ... Anonymous December 16, 1996  But lo' the snare is broke, the captive's freed,  By faith on all the hostile powers we tread, And crush through Jesus' strength the Serpent's head.  Jesus hath cast the cursed Accuser down,  Hath rooted up the tares by Satan sown:  All nature bows to His benign command, And two are one in His almighty hand. One in His hand, O may we still remain,  Fast bound with love's indissoluble chain;  (That adamant which time and death defies, That golden chain which draws us to the skies!)  His love the tie that binds us to His throne,  His love the bond that perfects us in one,  His only love constrains our hearts t' agree,  And gives the rivet of Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We may all be inclined to think of man's countless foolish and selfish intentions, his twisted and mischievous words and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8570]]></link><description><![CDATA[We may all be inclined to think of man's countless foolish and selfish intentions, his twisted and mischievous words and deeds. From all these, sin can be known, as a tree can be known from its fruits. Yet these outward signs are not sin itself, the wages of which are death. Sin is not confined to the evil things we do. It is the evil within us, the evil which we are. Shall we call it our pride or our laziness, or shall we call it the deceit of our life? Let us call it for once the great defiance which turns us again and again into the enemies of God and of our fellowmen, even of our own selves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All our ignorance brings us closer to death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20411]]></link><description><![CDATA[All our ignorance brings us closer to death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20411</guid></item></channel></rss>
