I now see godliness is more than the outside and this world's passments and their buskings [i.e., ornaments and fine dress]. Who knoweth the truth of grace without a trial? O how little getteth Christ of us, but that which he winneth (to speak so) with much toil and pains! And how soon would faith freeze without a cross?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Girls usually have a paper mâché face on their wedding day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53371]]></link><description><![CDATA[Girls usually have a paper mâché face on their wedding day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is the power to let go of the familiar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10257]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is the power to let go of the familiar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's for a great cause, making fools of ourselves.

Study the advertisements in any popular magazine: people are "invited to apply for membership"; "members will receive a catalogue"; they are even offered "rules", which they gladly accept because the need for authority lies heavily upon them; they then receive a card admitting them to the circle, with the "President's signature" printed on it. In the need for belonging, the acknowledgement of dependence, may lie the greatest opportunity of the Christian evangelist. It is not unlike the conditions under which the early Church worked. In the later Roman Empire, crumbling under its own size, its communications and resources stretched to the utmost, the mystery-religions came into their own. Rites of initiation, the sharing of secret knowledge, offered to people of all classes an escape from the perplexities of life, a retreat into a closed circle of the elect where they might feel that their transformed personalities had some significance. Who can know how many weary souls there were who strayed into the Church through rumours of a secret rite of purification, of a shared meal that conferred wisdom, and who remained to comprehend the fullness of the Godhead, a belonging greater than they had ever imagined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who obtains has little.

Perfect love, we know, casteth out fear. But so do several other things--ignorance, alcohol, passion presumption, and stupidity. It is very desirable that we should all advance to that perfection of love in which we shall fear no longer; but it is very undesirable, until we have reached that stage, that we should allow any inferior agent to cast out our fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["You gave me the key of your heart, my love; then why did you make me knock?"
