If he have not the true God to bless and sustain him, he will have some false god to delude and to betray him. The Psalmist knew this, and therefore he joined so closely forgetting the name of our God and holding up our hands to some strange god. For every man has something in which he hopes, on which he leans, to which he retreats and retires, with which he fills up his thoughts in empty spaces of time, when he is alone, when he lies sleepless on his bed, when he is not pressed with other thoughts; to which he betakes himself in sorrow or trouble, as that from which he shall draw comfort and strength -- his fortress, his citadel, his defence; and has not this a good right to be called his god? Man was made to lean on the Creator; but if not on Him, then he leans on the creature in one shape or another. The ivy cannot grow alone: it must twine round some support or other; if not the goodly oak, then the ragged thorn -- round any dead stick whatever, rather than have no stay or support at all. It is even so with the heart and affections of man; if they do not twine around God, they must twine around some meaner thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At any age it does us no harm to look over our past shortcomings and plan to improve our characters ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27602]]></link><description><![CDATA[At any age it does us no harm to look over our past shortcomings and plan to improve our characters and actions in the coming year.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forget about likes and dislikes.

To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. This is hard. It is perhaps not so hard to forgive a single injury. But to forgive the incessant provocations of daily life -- to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son -- how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." We are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it means to refuse God's mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what He says.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To pile Ossa upon Pelion. [Lat., Imponere Pelio Ossam.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43319]]></link><description><![CDATA[To pile Ossa upon Pelion. [Lat., Imponere Pelio Ossam.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47291]]></link><description><![CDATA[The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The presence of a long-term, conscious goal has helped me maintain stability through the ubiquitous changes of over half a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21253]]></link><description><![CDATA[The presence of a long-term, conscious goal has helped me maintain stability through the ubiquitous changes of over half a century.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is disturbing to discover in oneself these curious revelations of the validity of the Darwinian theory.

It is almost as offensive to modern man, brought up in the atmosphere of relativism, in which tolerance is regarded almost as the highest of the virtues. But we must not suppose that this claim to universal validity is something that can quietly be removed from the Gospel without changing it into something entirely different from what it is... Jesus' life, his method, and his message do not make sense, unless they are interpreted in the light of his own conviction that he was in fact the final and decisive word of God to men... For the human sickness there is one specific remedy, and this is it. There is no other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who ran to help me when I fell, And would some pretty story tell,  Or kiss the place to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43213]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who ran to help me when I fell, And would some pretty story tell,  Or kiss the place to make it well/   My mother.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mankind has survived all catastrophes.
