One very effective way of silencing the voice of conscience is to impound in an Ism the teacher through whom it speaks; the trumpet no longer seriously disturbs our rest when we have murmured '..Thomist', 'Barthian', or 'Existentialist'. And in Macdonald it is, always the voice of conscience that speaks. He addresses the will: the demand for obedience, for "something to be neither more nor less nor other than done" is incessant. Yet in that very voice of conscience every other faculty somehow speaks as well -- intellect and imagination and humour and fancy and all the affections; and no man in modern times was perhaps more aware of the distinction between Law and Gospel, the inevitable failure of mere morality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with people is not that they don't know but that they know so much that ain't so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52166]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with people is not that they don't know but that they know so much that ain't so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To read Wilson... is to be instructed and amused in the highest sense - that is, to be educated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37092]]></link><description><![CDATA[To read Wilson... is to be instructed and amused in the highest sense - that is, to be educated.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is one of those wise philanthropists who, in a time of famine, would vote for nothing but a supply ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46467]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is one of those wise philanthropists who, in a time of famine, would vote for nothing but a supply of toothpicks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People travel in the way of least resistance, by choosing one's environment, one will travel in a particular way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22506]]></link><description><![CDATA[People travel in the way of least resistance, by choosing one's environment, one will travel in a particular way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may break, you may shatter the vase, as you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50686]]></link><description><![CDATA[You may break, you may shatter the vase, as you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If folks can learn to be racist, then they can learn to be anti racist.

The Colloquies of Erasmus    April 30, 1998  Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922  What keeps most men in "Christian" countries from being heretics in this sense is that they do not publicly avow their disbelief: it is in better taste to be casual about lost beliefs, and a note of wistfulness generally ensures forgiveness. Obstinacy is rare. Millions do not even know that they deny essential Christian doctrines: they have never bothered to find out what the essential doctrines are. In extenuation they may plead that the evasiveness and the multiplicity of churches create a difficulty; but to be deterred by this when one's eternal destiny is said to be at stake bespeaks a glaring lack of seriousness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavour Fellowship, 1951  To the dim and bewildered vision of humanity, God's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavour Fellowship, 1951  To the dim and bewildered vision of humanity, God's care is more evident in some instances than in others; and upon such instances men seize, and call them providences.

I've learned thatyou can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things:a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned thatregardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they'regone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing asmaking a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on bothhands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I've learned that wheneverI decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I'velearned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned thatevery day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, orjust a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what youdid, but people will never forget how you made them feel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This kid can do both well.

It is this explanation of justification by faith only which leads us to the true depth of what the Gospel has contributed to this world. To live by grace and to die by grace, to live in forgiveness every day, every hour and every moment, means to identify oneself with those who do not share our faith, and to realize all the debts we owe them. Let us not be afraid that this will reduce the Gospel to relativism. Its depth is in proportion to its breadth. The deeper it is, the broader and fuller it becomes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are pleased to enter into the agreement with Nekoosa Coated Products, a company with a well-earned reputation in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29234]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are pleased to enter into the agreement with Nekoosa Coated Products, a company with a well-earned reputation in the industry.
