He is the beginning, middle, and end of everything to us... There is nothing good, nothing holy, nothing beautiful, nothing joyous, which He is not to His servants. No one need be poor, because, if he chooses, he can have Jesus for his own property and possession. No one need be downcast, for Jesus is the joy of heaven, and it is His joy to enter into sorrowful hearts. We can exaggerate about many things; but we can never exaggerate our obligation to Jesus., or the compassionate abundance of the love of Jesus to us. All our lives long we might talk of Jesus, and yet we should never come to an end of the sweet things that night be said of Him. Eternity will not be long enough to learn all He is, or to praise Him for all He has done -- but then, that matters not; for we shall be always with Him, and we desire nothing more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The earth laughs in flowers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66422]]></link><description><![CDATA[The earth laughs in flowers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man is his own greatest enemy, and as it were his own executioner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13844]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man is his own greatest enemy, and as it were his own executioner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honest labor bears a lovely face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23931]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honest labor bears a lovely face.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All men [are] of one metal, but not in one mold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27034]]></link><description><![CDATA[All men [are] of one metal, but not in one mold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it falls right on the weekend, when St. Patrick's Day comes on Friday or Saturday it's perfect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30206]]></link><description><![CDATA[When it falls right on the weekend, when St. Patrick's Day comes on Friday or Saturday it's perfect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm concentrating on our first game right now.

There is no process by which to reach an ideal. There are no tests by which to verify it. It is therefore impossible to frame a proposition about an ideal which can be proved or disproved. It follows that the use of ideals is to be strictly limited to proper cases, and that the attempt to use ideals in social discussion does not deserve serious consideration.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu, There's a little marble cross below the town,  There's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17751]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu, There's a little marble cross below the town,  There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,   And the yellow god forever gazes down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politeness is the art of choosing among your thoughts ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politeness is the art of choosing among your thoughts]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chance is a nickname for Providence. [Fr., Le hasard est un sobriquet de la Providence.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51919]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chance is a nickname for Providence. [Fr., Le hasard est un sobriquet de la Providence.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If they haven't complied with the legislation, it's an honest mistake, and we will comply. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42113]]></link><description><![CDATA[If they haven't complied with the legislation, it's an honest mistake, and we will comply.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We come and we cry, and that is life; we yawn and we depart, and that is death! [Fr., On ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24840]]></link><description><![CDATA[We come and we cry, and that is life; we yawn and we depart, and that is death! [Fr., On entre, on crie,  Et c'est la vie!   On baille, on sort,    Et c'est la mort!]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It may be true that you can't fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27922]]></link><description><![CDATA[It may be true that you can't fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Superstition is the poison of the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58361]]></link><description><![CDATA[Superstition is the poison of the mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a poet or an artist puts himself into his Productions he is criticized.

There are Asian, West Indian, and Anglo-Saxon congregations worshiping and meeting close to each other. These groups meet at work and in school, but not always in church. If the church is middle-class and intellectual in the language of the services, in the music employed, in the life-style expected of Christians, in its leadership, and in the methods of presenting the gospel, then the whole atmosphere is such as to repel those who are not middle-class and intellectual. They feel out of place and unwanted, even if they are given a friendly greeting at the door. The life of the New Testament Church was evidence of the supernatural; God was in their midst. The power of Christ was a reality. The fellowship could not be explained in simple natural terms. A church divided on social and racial lines is not evidence for the supernatural, but for the simply human and social.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pessimism is, in brief, playing the sure game.
