That man is perfect in faith who can come to God in the utter dearth of his feelings and his desires, without a glow or an aspiration, with the weight of low thoughts, failures, neglects, and wandering forgetfulness, and say to Him, "Thou art my refuge, because Thou art my home". Such a faith will not lead to presumption. The man who can pray such a prayer will know better than another that God is not mocked; that He is not a man that He should repent; that tears and entreaties will not work on Him to the breach of one of His laws; that for God to give a man, because he asked for it, that which was not in harmony with His laws of truth and right, would be to damn him -- to cast him into the outer darkness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you want something, you have to be willing to pay your dues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15779]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you want something, you have to be willing to pay your dues.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Say, Bacchus, why so placid?

The shortest possible description of a Christian -- a description with which the New Testament would fully agree -- is that a Christian is a person who can say: "For me Jesus Christ is Lord." Herbert Butterfield's words about facing the future are good: "Hold to Christ, and for the rest be totally uncommitted." Any alleged conversion which does not leave one totally committed solely to Jesus Christ is incomplete and imperfect. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear has its use but cowardice has none. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10466]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear has its use but cowardice has none.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had only one superstition.
