And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica  December 16, 2002   Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frightened and terrified at the sight of it... A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Optimist: Day-dreamer more elegantly spelled ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Optimist: Day-dreamer more elegantly spelled]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At last now you can be what the old cannot recall and the young long for in dreams, yet still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1787]]></link><description><![CDATA[At last now you can be what the old cannot recall and the young long for in dreams, yet still include them all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life lives, life dies.

When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next opened the faggot, took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into his sons' hands, upon which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something better ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26665]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something better tomorrow]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many a time and oft Have you climbed up to walls and battlements,  To tow'rs and windows, yea, to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14632]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many a time and oft Have you climbed up to walls and battlements,  To tow'rs and windows, yea, to chimney tops,   Your infants in your arms, and there have sat    The livelong day, with patient expectation,     To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is the overcoming of not unknown obstacles toward a known goal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18668]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is the overcoming of not unknown obstacles toward a known goal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66372]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on earth.
