It was unkind to speak to men like this, for such a cheap offer could only leave them bewildered and tempt them from the way to which they had been called by Christ. Having laid hold on cheap grace, they were barred forever from the knowledge of costly grace. Deceived and weakened, men felt that they were strong now that they were in possession of this cheap grace -- whereas they had in fact lost the power to live the life of discipleship and obedience. The word of cheap grace has been the ruin of more Christians than any commandment of works.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the way of crop losses, theres some localized areas that had losses, but on a widespread basis, we missed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35311]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the way of crop losses, theres some localized areas that had losses, but on a widespread basis, we missed the most significant damage,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ass and the Lapdog A man had an Ass, and a Maltese Lapdog, a very great beauty.

The Ass was left in a stable and had plenty of oats and hay to eat, just as any other Ass would. The Lapdog knew many tricks and was a great favorite with his master, who often fondled him and seldom went out to dine without bringing him home some tidbit to eat. The Ass, on the contrary, had much work to do in grinding the corn-mill and in carrying wood from the forest or burdens from the farm. He often lamented his own hard fate and contrasted it with the luxury and idleness of the Lapdog, till at last one day he broke his cords and halter, and galloped into his master's house, kicking up his heels without measure, and frisking and fawning as well as he could. He next tried to jump about his master as he had seen the Lapdog do, but he broke the table and smashed all the dishes upon it to atoms. He then attempted to lick his master, and jumped upon his back. The servants, hearing the strange hubbub and perceiving the danger of their master, quickly relieved him, and drove out the Ass to his stable with kicks and clubs and cuffs. The Ass, as he returned to his stall beaten nearly to death, thus lamented: I have brought it all on myself! Why could I not have been contented to labor with my companions, and not wish to be idle all the day like that useless little Lapdog!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65236]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness; poverty and wealth have both failed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[‘the doer’ is merely a fiction added to the deed – the deed is everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11658]]></link><description><![CDATA[‘the doer’ is merely a fiction added to the deed – the deed is everything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47915]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In war, events of importance are the result of trivial causes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5372]]></link><description><![CDATA[In war, events of importance are the result of trivial causes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The well-dressed man is he whose clothes you never notice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12977]]></link><description><![CDATA[The well-dressed man is he whose clothes you never notice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ideas not coupled with action never become bigger than the brain cellsthey occupied. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ideas not coupled with action never become bigger than the brain cellsthey occupied.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Conversion of Paul O for a thousand tongues to sing   My great Redeemer's praise, The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6332]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Conversion of Paul O for a thousand tongues to sing   My great Redeemer's praise, The glories of my God and King,   The triumphs of his grace! My gracious Master and my God,   Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad   The honours of thy name. Jesus! the name that charms our fears,   That bids our sorrows cease; 'Tis music in the sinner's ears,   'Tis life, and health, and peace. He breaks the power of cancelled sin,   He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean,   His blood availed for me. He speaks, and, listening to his voice,   New life the dead receive, The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,   The humble poor believe. Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,   Your loosened tongues employ; Ye blind, behold your Saviour come,   And leap, ye lame, for joy. Look unto him, ye nations, own   Your God, ye fallen race; Look, and be saved through faith alone,   Be justified by grace. See all your sins on Jesus laid:   The Lamb of God was slain, His soul was once an offering made   For every soul of man. Awake from guilty nature's sleep,   And Christ shall give you light, Cast all your sins into the deep,   And wash you purest white. With me, your chief, ye then shall know,   Shall feel your sins forgiven; Anticipate your heaven below,   And own that love is heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first thing that they do before they do anything is interventions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37254]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first thing that they do before they do anything is interventions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63184]]></link><description><![CDATA[Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Half of the modern drugs could well be thrown out of the window, except that the birds might eat them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9334]]></link><description><![CDATA[Half of the modern drugs could well be thrown out of the window, except that the birds might eat them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As he was valiant, I honour him.
