Yet they like to be considered as Christians, and listen willingly to the hypocrites who preach that our righteousness is only that God holds us to be righteous, even if we are bad people, and that our righteousness is without us and not in us, for, according to such teaching, they can be counted as holy people. Woe to those who preach that men of sinful walk can not be considered pious; most are furious when they hear this, as we see and experience, and would like all such preachers to be driven away or even killed; but where that cannot be done, they strengthen their hypocrite preachers with praise, comfort, presents and protection, so that they may go on happily and give no place to the truth, however clear it may be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not true.

Let us pray then with faith, and not lose the fruits of our prayers by a wavering uncertainty which, as St. James testifies, hinders the success of them. The same apostle advises us to pray when we are in trouble because thereby we should find consolation; yet we are so wretched that this heavenly employment is often a burden instead of a comfort to us. The lukewarmness of our prayers is the source of all our other infidelities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Against stupidity the very gods Themselves contend in vain.  [Ger., Mit der Dummheit kampfen Gotter selbst vergebens.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58078]]></link><description><![CDATA[Against stupidity the very gods Themselves contend in vain.  [Ger., Mit der Dummheit kampfen Gotter selbst vergebens.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47506]]></link><description><![CDATA[This I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world.
