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/8047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The claim that Religious believers have a happier outlook on life than Religious skeptics is like saying a drunken man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32970]]></link><description><![CDATA[The claim that Religious believers have a happier outlook on life than Religious skeptics is like saying a drunken man is happier than a sober man.
