He had never seen the Book before. It taught him another lesson than that of fasts and vigils... Luther learned now that a man was saved not by singing masses, but by the infinite grace of God: a more credible hypothesis. He gradually got himself founded, as on the rock. No wonder he should venerate the Bible, which had brought this blessed help to him. He prized it as the Word of the Highest must be prized by such a man. He determined to hold by that, as through life and to death he firmly did.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The main worry short term is the drop in the Nasdaq.

Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ... Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus. Character is supreme in life, and hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing -- so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code, but a character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64424]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hearts that are "fit to break" with love for the Godhead are those who have been in the Presence and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7350]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hearts that are "fit to break" with love for the Godhead are those who have been in the Presence and have looked with opened eye upon the majesty of Deity. Men of the breaking hearts had a quality about them not known to or understood by common men. They habitually spoke with spiritual authority. They had been in the Presence of God and they reported what they saw there. They were prophets, not scribes: for the scribe tells us what he has read, and the prophet tells us what he has seen. The distinction is not an imaginary one. Between the scribe who has read and the prophet who has seen, there is a difference as wide as the sea. We are today overrun with orthodox scribes; but the prophets, where are they? The hard voice of the scribe sounds over evangelicalism, but the Church waits for the tender voice of the saint who has penetrated the veil and has gazed with inward eye upon the Wonder that is God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years.
