Here is a bon mot and a useful desire, but equally absurd. For to make the handful bigger than the hand, the armful bigger then the arm, and to hope to stride further than the stretch of our legs, is impossible and monstrous. . . . He may lift himself if God lend him His hand of special grace; he may lift himself . . . by means wholly celestial.

A long series of rejections and subsequent attendant conditions follow the rejections of the Bible as God's Word. Next to that rejection has come the rejection of the God of the Bible. Next, there usually follows a rejection of the Bible's presentation of man as a lost rebel against God, [and then] comes the rejection of biblical morality and ethics. [After] all of these, the next step is a short one--the rejection of biblical obedience to the laws of God and man. And, of course, many more items of rejection can be added to the list. But the crucial point here is that all of these can be traced back to the initial rejection of the absolute authority of Holy Writ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's sin and not poverty that makes men miserable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56411]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's sin and not poverty that makes men miserable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Living on the Lawn is a privilege and a responsibility.

The "joy" that was set before Jesus was, we feel, knowing of the riches which would come to his brethren out of his death. In short, we are his joy, set before him when on the cross. As we have seen, only as the circle of the love of Jesus becomes world wide and as big as history will it be complete.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has left a tiny exit route, which is good because in the international arena, he is seen as very ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28569]]></link><description><![CDATA[He has left a tiny exit route, which is good because in the international arena, he is seen as very much a black-and-white kind of figure, with no grays.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.
