Faith is not understood when [it is] only demonstrated by life. The more sanctified a life without the verbal witness, the greater the danger of the Christian's goodness getting in the way. Should a person by the grace of God become easier to live with, he doesn't need to call attention to it: it will speak for itself. He can instead seek to balance the reverse effect of the good image by occasionally speaking of the unfavorable realities within, those parts that are still changing. In this way, his external behavior by contrast can point to the power of God, rather than to the effort of man. When we decrease, He can increase, but not until.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You live with your thoughts -- so be careful what they are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/932]]></link><description><![CDATA[You live with your thoughts -- so be careful what they are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ask you what provocation I have had? The strong antipathy of good to bad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ask you what provocation I have had? The strong antipathy of good to bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone who clings to the historically untrue -- and -- thoroughly immoral doctrine that violence never solves anything I would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60669]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone who clings to the historically untrue -- and -- thoroughly immoral doctrine that violence never solves anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it.

You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then - to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn." Ropo Oguntimehin Education is a companion which no future can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate it and no nepotism can enslave. -T.H.
