And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica  December 16, 2002   Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frightened and terrified at the sight of it... A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teaching is the greatest act of optimism ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45183]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teaching is the greatest act of optimism]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek not to inquire what the morrow will bring with it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek not to inquire what the morrow will bring with it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Listen to life, and you will hear the voice of life crying, Be!. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21929]]></link><description><![CDATA[Listen to life, and you will hear the voice of life crying, Be!.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...a man's worst difficulties begin when he is able to do as he likes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47406]]></link><description><![CDATA[...a man's worst difficulties begin when he is able to do as he likes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deception follows on the heels of deception. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51735]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deception follows on the heels of deception.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[UPS now flies to more points in China than any other U.S. airline, freight or passenger.
