If He should now come, would He find it in us? What fruits of faith have we to show? Do we look upon this life only as a short passage to a better?

Do we live by faith? Does it animate us? Do we relish the eternal truths it presents us with? Are we as careful to nourish our souls with those truths as to maintain our bodies with proper diet? Do we accustom ourselves to see all things in the light of faith? Do we correct all our judgements by it?  Alas! The greater part of Christians think and act like mere heathens; if we judge (as we justly may) of their faith by their practice, we must conclude they have no faith at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here's to you, as good as you are, And here's to me, as bad as I am;  But as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59406]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here's to you, as good as you are, And here's to me, as bad as I am;  But as good as you are, and as bad as I am,   I am as good as your are, as bad as I am.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For I do not distinguish them by the eye, but by the mind, which is the proper judge of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23548]]></link><description><![CDATA[For I do not distinguish them by the eye, but by the mind, which is the proper judge of the man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can allay the rage of biting envy. [Lat., Rabiem livoris acerbi  Nulla potest placare quies.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14007]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can allay the rage of biting envy. [Lat., Rabiem livoris acerbi  Nulla potest placare quies.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't have any problem with the penalty handed down.
