Not along this track lies the path of moral progress. Christianity says: face the evil once for all, and disown it. Then quiet the spirit in the presence of God. Let His perfections fill the field of vision. In particular, let the concrete embodiment of the goodness of God in Christ attract and absorb the gaze of the soul. Here is the righteousness, not as a fixed and abstract ideal, but in a living human person. The righteousness of Christ is a real achievement of God's own Spirit in man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Willowes are weak, yet they bind other wood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50111]]></link><description><![CDATA[Willowes are weak, yet they bind other wood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good memory is one that can remember the day's blessings and forget the day's troubles ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4306]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good memory is one that can remember the day's blessings and forget the day's troubles]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We still get 100 percent of what we were owed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40983]]></link><description><![CDATA[We still get 100 percent of what we were owed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't just learn something from every experience, learn something positive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24551]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't just learn something from every experience, learn something positive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will be little drudgery in this better ordered world. Natural power harnessed in machines will be the general drudge. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62159]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will be little drudgery in this better ordered world. Natural power harnessed in machines will be the general drudge. What drudgery is inevitable will be done as a service and duty for a few years or months out of each life; it will not consume nor degrade the whole life of anyone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prediction is difficult, especially about the future.. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63014]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prediction is difficult, especially about the future..]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good mouth-filling oath. -King Henry IV.
