Whilst men are under the power of actual impressions from such fears, they will convert to God, yea, they will turn in a moment, and perfect their holiness in an instant; but so soon as that impression wears off (as it will do on every occasion, and upon none at all) such persons are as dead and cold towards God as the lead or iron, which but now ran in a fiery stream, is now when the heat is departed from it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only mediocrity of enjoyment is allowed to man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22043]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only mediocrity of enjoyment is allowed to man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politeness is only one half good manners and the other half good lying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26355]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politeness is only one half good manners and the other half good lying.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nowadays the rage for possession has got to such a pitch that there is nothing in the realm of nature, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nowadays the rage for possession has got to such a pitch that there is nothing in the realm of nature, whether sacred or profane, out of which profit cannot be squeezed]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sun with light umbertouches vined cucumberThe more he ticklesthe more there are pickles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45590]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sun with light umbertouches vined cucumberThe more he ticklesthe more there are pickles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit.

You do get into situations where you think, 'What should I do? Shouldn't I intervene? Shouldn't I do something?' I think if you get to that point you have to make a decision. I've said to people, if you feel it's wrong just being a reporter and you can't do enough, well it's time to become an aid worker and train to be someone who really knows what to do. No good standing around snapping a notebook.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, Ere the sorrow comes with years?  They are leaning their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, Ere the sorrow comes with years?  They are leaning their young heads against their mothers,   And that cannot stop their tears.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're looking for a relatively good year in 2006, given that wages are up and the labor market is fairly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38559]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're looking for a relatively good year in 2006, given that wages are up and the labor market is fairly tight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was really little, I wanted to be like Schroeder from the Peanuts comics.

The faith that limits itself to the promises of God seems to me to partake of the paltry character of such a faith in my child -- good enough for a Pagan, but for a Christian a miserable and wretched faith. Those who rest in such a faith would feel yet more comfortable if they had God's bond instead of His word, which they regard not as the outcome of His character but as a pledge of His honour. They try to believe in the truth of His word, but the truth of His Being they understand not. In His oath they persuade themselves that they put confidence: in himself they do not believe, for they know Him not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love being.

Not fiends incarnate, but plain flesh and blood like us; quite ordinary men, decent and kindly souls enough, some of whom, no doubt, went to their homes that day from Calvary and took their children on their knees and loved them very genuinely. Only, they were a bit old fashioned in the make-up of their minds, had grown stiff and inelastic in their thinking, inhospitable to new notions -- surely a very minor sin at worst -- and some feared for their vested interests; and one, poor Pilate, had lost his temper with these impossible Jews in days gone by, and had received a curt warning from Rome that there must be no further bloodshed in Jerusalem, and here was a new trouble at the very worst of times in the whole year, with fanatics in tens of thousands come up for the Feast; and one wanted to save the world by quick-running machinery, and so put Christ into a situation where He could no longer dilly-dally but must do something vivid, dramatic, revolutionary. And the people? No need for us to bother being there at the decision between Jesus and Barabbas. We had the lined streets cheering for Him yesterday. And we have relatives to see, and messages from neighbours to deliver to their kindred. He will be all right; we needn't worry to be there. Such simple and plebian sins -- minds grown a trifle out of date, a little selfishness, some temper and its consequences, a bit of worldly wisdom, and an indifference that did nothing at all -- these brought about the shame of mankind, and the tragedy of history, and the blot upon our annals that will not rub out. And they are all of them within your heart and mine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften. [Lat., Nullus dolor est quem non longinquitas temporis minuat ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18328]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no grief which time does not lessen and soften. [Lat., Nullus dolor est quem non longinquitas temporis minuat ac molliat.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behold, within the leafy shade, Those bright blue eggs together laid!  On me the chance-discovered sight   Gleamed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57318]]></link><description><![CDATA[Behold, within the leafy shade, Those bright blue eggs together laid!  On me the chance-discovered sight   Gleamed like a vision of delight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57318</guid></item></channel></rss>
