Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That name was a power to rally a nation in the hour of thick-thronging public disasters and calamities; that name ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61256]]></link><description><![CDATA[That name was a power to rally a nation in the hour of thick-thronging public disasters and calamities; that name shone amid the storm of war, a beacon light to cheer and guide the country's friends; it flamed too like a meteor to repel her foes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is the definition of a good wine?

We cannot form a conception of Eternal Life. What we imagine is ever simply of the earth, temporal, worldly. Nor could we know anything about our eternal life if it had not appeared in Jesus Christ. In him we realize that we were created for the eternal life. If we ask, what is this eternal life? what sense is there in thinking about it if we can have no conception of it?, the answer is, "It is life with God, in God, from God; life in perfect fellowship." Therefore it is a life in love, it is love itself. It is a life without the nature of death and sin, hence without sorrow, pain, anxiety, care, misery. To know this suffices to make one rejoice in eternal life. If there were no eternal life, this life of time would be without meaning, goal, or purpose, without significance, without seriousness and without joy. It would be nothing. That our life does not end in nothing, but that eternal life awaits us, is the glad message of Jesus Christ. He came to give us this promise as a light in this dark world. A Christian is a man who has become certain of eternal life through Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27578]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of happiness is freedom.

For instance, although there are some 200,000 "errors" among the New Testament manuscripts, these appear in only about 10,000 places, and only about one-sixtieth rise above the level of trivialities. Westcott and Hort, Ezra Abbot, Philip Schaff, and A. T. Robertson have carefully evaluated the evidence and have concluded that the New Testament text is over 99 percent pure. In the light of the fact that there are over 5,000 Greek manuscripts, some 9,000 versions and translations, the evidence for the integrity of the New Testament is beyond question.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tragedy of life is not that man loses, but that he almost wins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59538]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tragedy of life is not that man loses, but that he almost wins.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59538</guid></item></channel></rss>
