No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man. •Elbert Hubbard  It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. •Jerome K Jerome  One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important. •Bertrand Russell  Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then--we elected them. •Lily Tomlin  Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at the moment. •Robert Benchley  Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. •Thomas Edison  Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all. •Sam Ewing  Real success is finding you lifework in the work that you love. •David McCullough  Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work. •John G.

But it was different with those who could claim no such prerogative, and with those Jews who had become uneasy as to the grounds of such a relation and their validity -- in a word, with any who had been led by conscience to take a deeper view of the consequences of sin. So long as these were found mainly in punishment, suffering, judgment, so long 'remission of sins' -- letting off the consequences -- might suffice. But when it was recognized that sin had a far more serious consequence in alienation from God, the severing of the fellowship between God and His children, then Justification... ceased to be sufficient. 'Forgiveness' took on a deeper meaning; it connoted restoration of the fellowship, the establishment or reestablishment of a relation which could be described on the one side as fatherly, on the other as filial.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6540</guid></item></channel></rss>
