By their emphasis upon the primacy of individual justification, they deny the immediate social character and impact of the justification of the Jews and Gentiles, and they obstruct or delay the changes in common life which belong to the "new creation".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indecision is debilitating; it feeds upon itself; it is, one might almost say, habit-forming.

Perceiving their simplicity, he cast down a huge log into the lake. The Frogs were terrified at the splash occasioned by its fall and hid themselves in the depths of the pool. But as soon as they realized that the huge log was motionless, they swam again to the top of the water, dismissed their fears, climbed up, and began squatting on it in contempt. After some time they began to think themselves ill-treated in the appointment of so inert a Ruler, and sent a second deputation to Jupiter to pray that he would set over them another sovereign. He then gave them an Eel to govern them. When the Frogs discovered his easy good nature, they sent yet a third time to Jupiter to beg him to choose for them still another King. Jupiter, displeased with all their complaints, sent a Heron, who preyed upon the Frogs day by day till there were none left to croak upon the lake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are only two kinds of coaches -- those who have been fired, and those who will be fired. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57499]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are only two kinds of coaches -- those who have been fired, and those who will be fired.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humiliation is the beginning of sanctification; and as without this, without holiness, no man shall see God, though he pore ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humiliation is the beginning of sanctification; and as without this, without holiness, no man shall see God, though he pore whole nights upon his Bible; so without that, without humility, no man shall hear God speak to his soul, though he hear three two-hour sermons every day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quantity of books in a person's library, is often a cloud of witnesses to the ignorance of the owner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24782]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quantity of books in a person's library, is often a cloud of witnesses to the ignorance of the owner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rise with the lark, and with the lark to bed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3886]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rise with the lark, and with the lark to bed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Immortal mortals, mortal immortals, one living the others death and dying the others life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20629]]></link><description><![CDATA[Immortal mortals, mortal immortals, one living the others death and dying the others life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judicial judgment must take deep account of the day before yesterday in order that yesterday may not paralyze today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46301]]></link><description><![CDATA[Judicial judgment must take deep account of the day before yesterday in order that yesterday may not paralyze today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Profan'd the God-given strength, and marr'd the lofty line. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57947]]></link><description><![CDATA[Profan'd the God-given strength, and marr'd the lofty line.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things.

This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren? Since every sin of a member burdens and indicts the whole community, the congregation rejoices, in the midst of all the pain and the burden that the brother's sin inflicts, that it has the privilege of bearing and forgiving.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So you think that money is the root of all evil.
