The Colloquies of Erasmus  February 13, 1999  Faith is the source of energy in the struggle of life, but life still remains a battle which is continually renewed upon ever-new fronts. For every threatening abyss that is closed, another yawning gulf appears. The truth is -- and this is the conclusion of the whole matter -- the Kingdom of God is within us. But we must let our light shine before men in confident and untiring labor that they may see our good works and praise our Father in Heaven. The final ends of all humanity are hidden within His hands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only time you don't fail is the last time you try anything -- and it works. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21981]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only time you don't fail is the last time you try anything -- and it works.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People know each other better on a journey.

It is illogical to tell men that they must do the will of God and accept his gospel of grace, if you also tell them that the obligation has no eternal significance, and that nothing ultimately depends on it. The curious modern heresy that everything is bound to come right in the end is so frivolous that I will not insult you by refuting it. "I remember," said Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on one occasion, "that my Maker has said that he will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left." That is a solemn truth which only the empty-headed and empty-hearted will neglect. It strikes at the very roots of life and destiny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As kids we're not taught how to deal with success; we're taught how to deal with failure.

It was "sin brought death into the world and all our woe"; as the sin vanishes the woe will vanish too. God Himself is the ever-blessed God. He dwells in the light of joy as well as of purity, and instead of becoming more like Him as we become more miserable, and as all the brightness and glory of life are extinguished, we become more like God as our blessedness becomes more complete. The great Christian graces are radiant with happiness. Faith, hope, charity, there is no sadness in them; and if penitence makes the heart sad, penitence belongs to the sinner, not to the saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In history the way of annihilation is invariably prepared by inward degeneration, by decrease of life.
