It is illogical to tell men that they must do the will of God and accept his gospel of grace, if you also tell them that the obligation has no eternal significance, and that nothing ultimately depends on it. The curious modern heresy that everything is bound to come right in the end is so frivolous that I will not insult you by refuting it. "I remember," said Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on one occasion, "that my Maker has said that he will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left." That is a solemn truth which only the empty-headed and empty-hearted will neglect. It strikes at the very roots of life and destiny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An act of God was defined as "something which no reasonable man could have expected." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27566]]></link><description><![CDATA[An act of God was defined as "something which no reasonable man could have expected."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men lose their tempers in defending their taste. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58852]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men lose their tempers in defending their taste.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not whatwe say or what we do, but what we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21560]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not whatwe say or what we do, but what we are.
