But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10334]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning how to access a continuity of common sense can be one of your most efficient accomplishments in this decade. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learning how to access a continuity of common sense can be one of your most efficient accomplishments in this decade.

How could pagans have developed words for Christian ideas which have never occurred to them? This identical situation existed when the Holy Spirit inspired the New Testament. At that time many pagan words, with pagan-thought background, were used in Christian contexts; by the contexts the present Christian meaning eventually built up, until it was possible to express all the Christian meaning in the pagan terms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  I endeavor to keep all Shibboleths, and forms and terms of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7423]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430  I endeavor to keep all Shibboleths, and forms and terms of distinction out of sight, as we keep knives and razors out of the way of children; and if my hearers had not some other means of information, I think they would not know from me that there are such creatures as Arminians and Calvinists in the world.

Some truth taught in Scripture, some part of the divine revelation, is apprehended, and the heart responds to it and accepts it. As it is dwelt upon, expounded, defended; its power and beauty increasingly influence those affected by it. Another side of truth, another view of revelation, also contained in Scripture, seems to weaken, even to contradict, the truth that has been found to be so effectual. and in jealous fear for the doctrine accepted and taught, the balancing truth is minimized, explained away, and even denied. So on a portion of revelation, on a part of the Word, a sect is founded, good and useful because it preaches and practices Divine truth, but limited and unbalanced because it does not see all truth, nor frankly accept the whole of Scripture. Its members are not only deprived of the full use of all Scripture, but are cut off from the fellowship of many saints, who are less limited than they, or limited in another direction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel that we are up there with all of the top four ranked teams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30490]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel that we are up there with all of the top four ranked teams.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One who is contented with what he has done will never become famous for what he will do.
