It reveals a split personality in which faith is "observed" and appraised, thus negating that unity born of a dying-unto-self, which is the definition of faith.

This is the one only band of union betwixt God and the creature... Here the necessity is absolute; nothing will do instead of this will; all contrivances of holiness, all forms of religious piety, signify nothing without this will to all goodness. For as the will to all goodness is the whole nature of God, so it must be the whole nature of every service of religion that can be acceptable to him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I couldn't live in peace if I put the shadow of a wilful sin between myself and God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56381]]></link><description><![CDATA[I couldn't live in peace if I put the shadow of a wilful sin between myself and God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ideally, one should have more material than one can possibly cope with. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35094]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ideally, one should have more material than one can possibly cope with.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People of substance may sin without being exposed for their stolen pleasure; but servants and the poorer sort of women ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44169]]></link><description><![CDATA[People of substance may sin without being exposed for their stolen pleasure; but servants and the poorer sort of women have seldom an opportunity of concealing a big belly, or at least the consequences of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For every talent that poverty has stimulated it has blighted a hundred. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47055]]></link><description><![CDATA[For every talent that poverty has stimulated it has blighted a hundred.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We see not our own backs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48807]]></link><description><![CDATA[We see not our own backs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let him that would move the world first move himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1484]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let him that would move the world first move himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True friends isn't about who came first and who you've known the longest, it's about who came and never left. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63033]]></link><description><![CDATA[True friends isn't about who came first and who you've known the longest, it's about who came and never left.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To get rich never risk your health.
