But what doth the Christian like this? None is ashamed, none repenteth, save that he was not such long ago. If he be marked down, he glorieth; if accused, maketh no defense; being questioned, confesseth even of his own accord; being condemned, giveth thanks. What manner of evil is this, which hath not the natural marks of evil, fear, shame, shrinking, penitence, sorrow? What manner of evil is this, whereof he that is accused rejoiceth?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To sigh, yet not recede; to grieve, yet not repent! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53813]]></link><description><![CDATA[To sigh, yet not recede; to grieve, yet not repent!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In man's life, the absence of an essential component usually leads to the adoption of a substitute.

The substitute is usually embraced with vehemence and extremism, for we have to convince ourselves that what we took as second choice is the best there ever was. Thus blind faith is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves; insatiable desire a substitute for hope; accumulation a substitute for growth; fervent hustling a substitute for purposeful action; and pride a substitute for an unattainable self-respect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that would govern others, first should be the master of himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2263]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that would govern others, first should be the master of himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wish I had a Kryptonite cross, because then you could keep both Dracula AND Superman away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11759]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wish I had a Kryptonite cross, because then you could keep both Dracula AND Superman away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace comes from within.

Neither canst thou be delivered or eased by any remedy or comfort; but so long as it pleaseth God, thou oughtest to bear it. For God will have thee learn to suffer tribulation without comfort, and that thou subject thyself wholly to Him, and by tribulation become more humble. No man hath so cordial a feeling of the Passion of Christ, as he that hath suffered the like himself. The Cross therefore is always ready, and everywhere waits for thee. Thou canst not escape it, whithersoever thou runnest; for wheresoever thou goest, thou carriest thyself with thee, and shalt ever find thyself. Both above and below, without and within, which way so ever thou dost turn thee, everywhere thou shalt find the Cross; and everywhere of necessity thou must hold fast patience, if thou wilt have inward peace, and enjoy an everlasting crown.  ...Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ June 8, 1996 Feast of Thomas Ken, Bishop of Bath & Wells, Hymnographer, 1711  The charm of the words of great men, those grand sayings which are recognized as true as soon as heard, is this, that you recognize them as wisdom which has passed across your own mind. You feel that they are your own thoughts come back to you, else you would not at once admit them. "All of that has floated across me before, only I could not say it, and did not feel confident enough to assert it: or had not conviction enough to put it into words." Yes, God spoke to you what He did to them: only, they believed it, said it, trusted the Word within them; and you did not. Be sure that often when you say, "It is only my own poor thought, and I am alone," the real correcting thought is this: "Alone, but the Father is with me, and therefore I can live that lonely conviction.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now this is the ground and original of the Spirit of Love in the creature, it is and must be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7129]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now this is the ground and original of the Spirit of Love in the creature, it is and must be a will to all goodness; and you have not the Spirit of Love in you till you have this will to all goodness at all times and on all occasions.

Who is my true brother? We cannot always tell whether or not a man believes in Christ; but we can always ask -- Christianity is not a secret society. And if a man says he loves the Lord, why should I not treat him as my brother? If I should happen to welcome one who is only a professing Christian, who has not given his heart to Christ, what harm has it done? I will have offered the love of God to one who rejects it, and I will have given a few hours of my life to an enemy -- but our Father holds out His hands all day long to a rebellious people, and our Savior gave His life for me when I was His enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The aristocracy is in decline in the City, and the cloth-cap professionals are in the ascent.
