It is this explanation of justification by faith only which leads us to the true depth of what the Gospel has contributed to this world. To live by grace and to die by grace, to live in forgiveness every day, every hour and every moment, means to identify oneself with those who do not share our faith, and to realize all the debts we owe them. Let us not be afraid that this will reduce the Gospel to relativism. Its depth is in proportion to its breadth. The deeper it is, the broader and fuller it becomes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you go in search of honey you must expect to be stung by bees. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2356]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you go in search of honey you must expect to be stung by bees.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crime oft recoils upon the author's head. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51136]]></link><description><![CDATA[Crime oft recoils upon the author's head.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hearty laugh gives one a dry cleaning, while a good cry is a wet wash. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24204]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hearty laugh gives one a dry cleaning, while a good cry is a wet wash.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24705]]></link><description><![CDATA[I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell me not of joy: there's none Now my little sparrow's gone;  He, just as you,   Would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57315]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell me not of joy: there's none Now my little sparrow's gone;  He, just as you,   Would toy and woo,    He would chirp and flatter me,     He would hang the wing awhile,      Till at length he saw me smile,       Lord! how sullen he would be!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has to be displayed, this face, on a more or less horizontal plane.

Imagine a man wearing a mask, and imagine that the elastic which holds the mask on has just broken, so that the man (rather than let the mask slip off) has to tilt his head back and balance the mask on his real face. This is the kind of tyranny which Lawson's face exerts over the rest of his body as he cruises along the corridors. He doesn't look down his nose at you, he looks along his nose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lend me thy pen To write a word  In the moonlight.   Pierrot, my friend!    ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43073]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lend me thy pen To write a word  In the moonlight.   Pierrot, my friend!    My candle's out,     I've no more fire;--      For love of God       Open thy door!        [Fr., Au clair de la lune         Mon ami Pierrot,          Prete moi ta plume           Pour ecrire un mot;            Ma chandelle est morte,             Je n'ai plus de feu,              Ouvre moi ta porte,               Pour l'amour de Dieu.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now is the age of anxiety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now is the age of anxiety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is no hard matter to adhere to God while you are in the enjoyment of His comforts and consolations; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6559]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is no hard matter to adhere to God while you are in the enjoyment of His comforts and consolations; but if you would prove your fidelity to Him, you must be willing to follow Him through the paths of dryness and desertion.

We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I understand some of the people's impatience with the show last year.
