Yet they like to be considered as Christians, and listen willingly to the hypocrites who preach that our righteousness is only that God holds us to be righteous, even if we are bad people, and that our righteousness is without us and not in us, for, according to such teaching, they can be counted as holy people. Woe to those who preach that men of sinful walk can not be considered pious; most are furious when they hear this, as we see and experience, and would like all such preachers to be driven away or even killed; but where that cannot be done, they strengthen their hypocrite preachers with praise, comfort, presents and protection, so that they may go on happily and give no place to the truth, however clear it may be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let your loins be girded about, and your light burning; And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51956]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let your loins be girded about, and your light burning; And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am treating you as my friend asking you share my present minuses in the hope I can ask you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16923]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am treating you as my friend asking you share my present minuses in the hope I can ask you to share my future pluses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was very sensitive.

The problem is doubtless complicated, for there are many honest differences held with equal sincerity, but it is only made insoluble because the different denominations are (possibly unconsciously) imagining God to be Roman or Anglican or Baptist or Methodist or Presbyterian or what have you. If they could see beyond their little inadequate god, and glimpse the reality of God, they might even laugh a little and perhaps weep a little. The result would be a unity that actually does transcend differences, instead of ignoring them with public politeness and private contempt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[English attitudes to the respective forms of the game offer a clue as to why England continue to fare so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42552]]></link><description><![CDATA[English attitudes to the respective forms of the game offer a clue as to why England continue to fare so badly at One-day cricket.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acting is a matter of giving away secrets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/861]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acting is a matter of giving away secrets.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who is born a fool is never cured ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16364]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who is born a fool is never cured]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All "little" magazines have the luxury of thinking the reader is the same person as their editors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13356]]></link><description><![CDATA[All "little" magazines have the luxury of thinking the reader is the same person as their editors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the green banks of Shannon, when Sheelah was nigh, No blithe Irish lad was so happy as I;  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12653]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the green banks of Shannon, when Sheelah was nigh, No blithe Irish lad was so happy as I;  No harp like my own could so cheerily play,   And wherever I went was my poor dog Tray.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A buddy of mine, [Atlanta rookie] Jeff Francoeur, when he hit his first home run, I saw them give him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30634]]></link><description><![CDATA[A buddy of mine, [Atlanta rookie] Jeff Francoeur, when he hit his first home run, I saw them give him the silent treatment and ignore him.
