The most experienced psychologist or observer of human nature knows infinitely less of the human heart than the simplest Christian who lives beneath the Cross of Jesus. The greatest psychological insight, ability, and experience cannot grasp this one thing: what sin is. Worldly wisdom knows what distress and weakness and failure are, but it does not know the godlessness of men. And so it also does not know that man is destroyed only by his sin and can be healed only by forgiveness. Only the Christian knows this. In the presence of a psychiatrist I can only be a sick man; in the presence of a Christian brother, I can dare to be a sinner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The manner in which one endures what must be endured is more important than the thing that must be endured. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13803]]></link><description><![CDATA[The manner in which one endures what must be endured is more important than the thing that must be endured.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woman's happiness begins with her first love and ends about then ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16046]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woman's happiness begins with her first love and ends about then]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Disappointment to a noble soul is what cold water is to burning metal; it strengthens, tempers, intensifies, but never destroys ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12361]]></link><description><![CDATA[Disappointment to a noble soul is what cold water is to burning metal; it strengthens, tempers, intensifies, but never destroys it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good grammar develops over time, so relax and put down the red pen.

The mystic soul may impatiently think so, but the moral soul finds such mediation the way to reality; and the mystic experience is not quite trustworthy about reality. The pagan gods had no mediators, because they were not real or good gods; but the living God has a living Revealer. To know the living God is to know Christ; to know Christ is to know the living God. We do not know God by Christ but in Him. We find God when we find Christ; and in Christ alone we know and share his final purpose. Our last knowledge is not the contact of our person with a thing or a thought; it is intercourse of person and person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a little frustrating, but we're a whole team. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30517]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a little frustrating, but we're a whole team.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/321]]></link><description><![CDATA[To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dancing at the Blue Iguana ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31439]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dancing at the Blue Iguana]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59832]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ashley decided that before Madeleine even got there that she is the best person ever, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ashley decided that before Madeleine even got there that she is the best person ever,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The storm is master.
