Feelings are very delusive. They often depend on mere natural temperament, and the devil wrests them to our hurt. A glowing imagination is apt to seek itself rather than God. But if you are earnest in striving to serve and endure for God's sake, if you persevere amid temptation, dryness, weariness, and desolation, you may rest assured that your love is real.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After the show in Virginia, they laid all the food out and it covered the entire floor.

I think it might have been one of those instances where they were young kids and they have not been here before and they tensed up a little and took those 3-pointers.

My guys didn't mind being on defense at the end and I think they were confident and comfortable because they had been in that situation before.

Whereas Jesus placed the penitent heart and the saving will of God higher than the pride of the godly and the letter of the Torah, so Paul preached faith in Christ as the only way to salvation and rejected striving after righteousness through the works of the Law. Above all, Jesus knew himself to be the Messiah and he acted in messianic authority; hence the risen and glorified Jesus was acknowledged as the king of the last days. It is still faith, not sight, that is demanded from men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you owe the bank $100 that's your problem.

The way to keep it in peace is to enter into it by means of inward silence. When you see yourself more sharply assaulted, retreat into that region of peace; and you will find a fortress that will enable you to triumph over all your enemies, visible and invisible, and over all their snares and temptations. Within your own soul resides divine aid, and sovereign succour. Retreat within it, and all will be quiet, secure, peaceable, and calm. Thus, by means of mental silence, which can only be attained with divine help, you may look for tranquility in tumult: for solitude in company; for light in darkness; for forgetfulness in pressures: for vigour in despondency; for courage in fear; for resistance in temptation; and for quiet in tribulation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was such an ugly kid - When I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5933]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was such an ugly kid - When I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you do something and you really care and you want to convey something in a subtle way, there are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38799]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you do something and you really care and you want to convey something in a subtle way, there are people out there that are going to pick up on it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas Eve High o'er the lonely hills black turns to gray, Bird-song the valley fills, mists fold away Gray wakes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christmas Eve High o'er the lonely hills black turns to gray, Bird-song the valley fills, mists fold away Gray wakes to green again, Beauty is seen again,  Gold and serene again dawneth the day. So, o'er the hills of life, stormy, forlorn, Out of the cloud and strife sunrise is born; Swift grows the light for us, Ended is night for us,  Soundless and bright for us breaketh God's morn. Hear we no beat of drums, fanfare, nor cry, When Christ the herald comes quietly nigh; Splendor He makes on earth; Color awakes on earth;  Suddenly breaks on earth light from the sky. Bid then farewell to sleep: rise up and run! What though the hill be steep? Strength's in the sun. Now you shall find at last Night's left behind at last,  And for mankind at last, Day has begun!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two angels guide The path of man, both aged and yet young.  As angels are, ripening through endless years, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53093]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two angels guide The path of man, both aged and yet young.  As angels are, ripening through endless years,   On one he leans: some call her Memory,    And some Tradition; and her voice is sweet,     With deep mysterious accords: the other,      Floating above, holds down a lamp with streams       A light divine and searching on the earth,        Compelling eyes and footsteps. Memory yields,         Yet clings with loving check, and shines anew,          Reflecting all the rays of that bright lamp           Our angel Reason holds. We had not walked            But for Tradition; we walk evermore             To higher paths by brightening Reason's lamp.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What, lost a world, and bade a hero fly? The timid tear in Cleopatra's eye. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48781]]></link><description><![CDATA[What, lost a world, and bade a hero fly? The timid tear in Cleopatra's eye.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The numbers were right on target, but you got [the price of] oil taking off, approaching $26 a barrel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30767]]></link><description><![CDATA[The numbers were right on target, but you got [the price of] oil taking off, approaching $26 a barrel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many are always praising the by-gone time, for it is natural that the old should extol the days of their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19492]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many are always praising the by-gone time, for it is natural that the old should extol the days of their youth; the weak, the time of their strength; the sick, the season of their vigor; and the disappointed, the spring-tide of their hopes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politeness is the slow poison of collaboration. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27746]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politeness is the slow poison of collaboration.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Or have you mark'd a partridge quake, Viewing the towering falcon nigh?  She cuddles low behind the brake:  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45582]]></link><description><![CDATA[Or have you mark'd a partridge quake, Viewing the towering falcon nigh?  She cuddles low behind the brake:   Nor would she stay; nor dares she fly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will feel equality has arrived when we can elect to office women who are as incompetent as some of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13686]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will feel equality has arrived when we can elect to office women who are as incompetent as some of the men who are already there]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I expect that on Wednesday we will be asking people to inform the inquiry as to whether they have any ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38438]]></link><description><![CDATA[I expect that on Wednesday we will be asking people to inform the inquiry as to whether they have any wish to examine the prime minister in relation to his statement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Change is an easy panacea.
