They now knew him no more by sight and after the flesh; they had His Spirit. And this "having" is both a real possession and a foretaste, an earnest of what is in store...   The Spirit assures us that we are heirs of a kingdom yet to be revealed (Rom. 8:17). The Spirit wars in us against the flesh (Gal. 5:17) and gives us assurance that even our mortal bodies shall be quickened (Rom. 8:11). Meanwhile the very mark of the Spirit's presence is that we groan waiting for our adoption (Rom. 8:23) and hoping for that which we do not yet see (Rom. 8:24,25).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A knave’s religion is always the rottenest thing about him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23895]]></link><description><![CDATA[A knave’s religion is always the rottenest thing about him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of All Souls  The antithesis between death and life is not so stark for the Christian as it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6419]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of All Souls  The antithesis between death and life is not so stark for the Christian as it is for the atheist. Life is a process of becoming, and the moment of death is the transition from one life to another. Thus it is possible for a Christian to succumb to his own kind of death-wish, to seek that extreme of other-worldliness to which the faith has always been liable, especially in periods of stress and uncertainty. There may appear a marked preoccupation with death and a rejection of all temporal things. To say that this world is in a fallen state and that not too much value must be set upon it, is very far from the Manichaean error of supposing it to be evil throughout. The Christian hope finds ambivalence in death: that which destroys, also redeems.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At about six in the morning of July 3, 1860, while I was watering my petunias, and thinking of nothing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4619]]></link><description><![CDATA[At about six in the morning of July 3, 1860, while I was watering my petunias, and thinking of nothing in particular, I perceived coming towards me, a tall, beardless, fair-haired young fellow, wearing a German cap and gold-rimmed spectacles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is good news, worthy of all acceptation, and yet not too good to be true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44457]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is good news, worthy of all acceptation, and yet not too good to be true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cats and monkeys -- monkeys and cats -- all human life is there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24896]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cats and monkeys -- monkeys and cats -- all human life is there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The liberty of the individual is no gift of civilization.

The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped. It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to buy books than to read them, and easier to read them than to absorb them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4595]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to buy books than to read them, and easier to read them than to absorb them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writers are the main landmarks of the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4682]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writers are the main landmarks of the past.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had only one superstition.
