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[Valor consists in the power of self recovery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60324]]></link><description><![CDATA[Valor consists in the power of self recovery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm happy when I'm juggling, but I feel like I've gone from, like, 3 balls to 10 -- bowling balls. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40177]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm happy when I'm juggling, but I feel like I've gone from, like, 3 balls to 10 -- bowling balls.

It is inconceivable that the things that are of utmost importance to each individual should not be spoken by one to another. It is unchristian consciously to deprive another of the one decisive service we can render to him...   The more we learn to allow others to speak the Word to us, to accept humbly and gratefully even severe reproaches and admonitions, the more free and objective will we be in speaking ourselves. The humble person will stick to truth and love. He will stick to the Word of God and let it lead him to his brother...   Reproof is unavoidable. God's Word demands it when a brother falls into open sin. Where defection from God's Word in doctrine or life imperils the fellowship... the word of admonition and rebuke must be ventured. Nothing can be more cruel than the tenderness that consigns another to his sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe rebuke that calls a brother back from the path of sin. It is a ministry of mercy, an ultimate offer of genuine fellowship, when we allow nothing but God's Word to stand between us, judging and succoring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is either free or he is not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16661]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man is either free or he is not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soft peace she brings, wherever she arrives: She builds our quiet, as she forms our lives:  Lays the rough ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soft peace she brings, wherever she arrives: She builds our quiet, as she forms our lives:  Lays the rough paths of peevish Nature even,   And opens in each heart a little Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of course everybody likes and respects self-made men.
