They're incredible. I think it took 12 hours to completely redo the car. I think we started the engine for the first time at eight o'clock this morning and in the warm-up, everything was fantastic. I have to say that today's car was even better than yesterday's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like to mumble when I act, 'cause I think it's more realistic.

He is free to move from place to place, from job to job, from acquaintance to acquaintance, and -- if he has attained a high degree of emancipation -- from wife to wife. He is in every context a more and more anonymous and replaceable part, the perfect incarnation of the rationalist conception of man. Wherever western civilization has spread in the past one hundred years, it has carried this atomizing process with it. Its characteristic product in Calcutta, Shanghai, or Johannesburg, is the modern city into which myriads of human beings, loosened from their old ties in village or tribe or caste, like grains of sand fretted by water from an ancient block of sandstone, are ceaselessly churned around in the whirlpool of the city -- anonymous, identical, replaceable units. In such a situation, it is natural that men should long for some sort of real community, for men cannot be human without it. It is especially natural that Christians should reach out after that part of Christian doctrine which speaks of the true, God-given community, the Church of Jesus Christ. We have witnessed the appalling results of trying to go back to some sort of primitive collectivity based on the total control of the individual, down to the depths of his spirit, by an all-powerful group. Yet we know that we cannot condemn this solution to the problem of man's loneliness if we have no other to offer. It is natural that men should ask with a greater eagerness than ever before, such questions as these: "Is there in truth a family of God on earth to which I can belong, a place where all men can be truly at home? If so, where is it to be found, what are its marks, and how is it related to, and dis tinguished from, the known communities of family, nation, and culture? What are its boundaries, its structure, its terms of membership? And how comes it that those who claim to be the spokesmen of that one holy fellowship are themselves at war with one another as to the fundamentals of its nature, and unable to agree to live together in unity and concord?" The breakdown of Christendom has forced such questions as these to the front. I think that there is no more urgent theological task than to try to give them plain and credible answers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship is held to be the severest test of character.

It is easy, we think, to be loyal to a family and clan, whose blood is in your own veins. Love between a man and a woman is founded on the mating instinct and is not free from desire and self-seeking. But to have a friend and to be true under any and all trials is the mark of a man!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no vice so simple but assumes Some mark of virtue in his outward parts. -The Merchant of Venice. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55592]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no vice so simple but assumes Some mark of virtue in his outward parts. -The Merchant of Venice.

Of this breach Baptism was the sacrament. In Baptism the change was effected and realized in fact. Baptism was not a mere formal external act, a symbol of a spiritual fact which was already complete without it. A Spiritual conversion which was not also a conversion of life was no conversion at all, but a delusion... With the heart man believes, with the mouth he confesses; but a mouth which does not confess disproves the existence of a heart that believes. The soul cannot be God's and the life not God's at the same time. The soul can not be recreated and the life remain unchanged. The spiritual breach is proved and realized and completed in the outward breach. Where there is no outward change, it is safe to deny an inward change. Faith without Baptism and all that Baptism involved was consequently no part of St. Paul's teaching.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul's estate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24608]]></link><description><![CDATA[He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul's estate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As winds come whispering lightly from the West, Kissing, not ruffling, the blue deep's serene. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61638]]></link><description><![CDATA[As winds come whispering lightly from the West, Kissing, not ruffling, the blue deep's serene.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leisure is a beautiful garment, but it will not do for constant wear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leisure is a beautiful garment, but it will not do for constant wear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that judges without informing himself to the utmost that he is capable, cannot acquit himself of judging amiss. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23539]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that judges without informing himself to the utmost that he is capable, cannot acquit himself of judging amiss.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest productive force is human selfishness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15894]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest productive force is human selfishness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that lost by not trying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25551]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that lost by not trying.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the first time we will be able to construct the three-dimensional structures of the atmosphere to better understand the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35711]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the first time we will be able to construct the three-dimensional structures of the atmosphere to better understand the role of clouds and aerosols in Earth's climate,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Appearances to save, his only care; So things seem right, no matter what they are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Appearances to save, his only care; So things seem right, no matter what they are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first qualification for a historian is to have no ability to invent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19411]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first qualification for a historian is to have no ability to invent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To lead the people, walk behind them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24468]]></link><description><![CDATA[To lead the people, walk behind them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was learning the importance of names -- having them, making them -- but at the same time I sensed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43672]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was learning the importance of names -- having them, making them -- but at the same time I sensed the dangers.

Wrath, which is a fourth birth from these three, can have no existence till one or all of these three are contradicted, or have something done to them that is contrary to their will. These four properties generate their own torment. They have no outward cause, nor any inward power of altering themselves. And therefore all self or nature must be in this state until some supernatural good comes into it, or gets a birth in it. Whilst man indeed lives among the vanities of time, his covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath may be in a tolerable state, may hold him to a mixture of peace and trouble; they may have at times their gratifications as well as their torments. But when death has put an end to the vanity of all earthly cheats, the soul that is not born again of the Supernatural Word and Spirit of God, must find itself unavoidably devoured and shut up in its own insatiable, unchangeable, self-tormenting covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Temperament lies behind mood; behind will, lies the fate of character.

When the church finds its members falling into gross and scandalous sins, then it is time for the church to awake and cry to God for a Revival of Religion. When such things are taking place as give enemies of religion an occasion for reproach, it is time for the church to ask God, "What will become of Thy great name?"  5. When there is a spirit of controversy in the church or in the land, a revival is needful. The spirit of religion is not the spirit of controversy. There can be no prosperity in religion, where the spirit of controversy prevails.  6. When the wicked triumph over the church, and revile them, it is time to seek for a Revival of Religion.  7. When sinners are careless and stupid, and sinking into hell unconcerned, it is time the church should bestir themselves. It is as much the duty of the church to awake, as it is for the firemen to awake when a fire breaks out in the night in a great city. The church ought to put out the fires of hell which are laying hold of the wicked. Sleep! Should the firemen sleep, and let the whole city burn down, what would be thought of such firemen? And yet their guilt would not compare with the guilt of Christians who sleep while sinners around them are sinking stupid into the fires of hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["There's a time in your life where everyone's got to tell someone to f**k off.
