The sword may make a whole nation of hypocrites. But to recover a soul from Satan by repentance, and to bring them from anti-Christian doctrine or worship to the Christian doctrine and worship, in the least true internal or external submission, is only worked by the all-powerful God through the sword of the Spirit in the hand of His spiritual officers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63652]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now, good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2891]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now, good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I got a simple rule about everybody.

One does not find the optative forms of polite petition so characteristic of elaborate requests made to earthly and heavenly potentates. Rather than employing such august forms, the Christians made their requests to God in what seem to be blunt imperatives. This does not mean that Christians lacked respect for their heavenly father, but it does mean that they were consistent with a new understanding of Him. In the tens of thousands of papyri fragments which have been rescued from the rubbish heaps of the ancient Greek world, one finds the imperative forms used constantly between members of a family. When the Christians addressed God as "Father," it was perfectly natural therefore for them to talk to Him as intimately as they would to their own father. Unfortunately, the history of our own English language has almost reversed this process. Originally, men used "thou" and "thee" in prayer because it was the appropriate familiar form of address; but now these words have become relegated to prayer alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The goal here is to signify to people that they are getting real and reliable information.

We modern pagans have to choose between that divine order, and the grey, dead, irresponsible, chaotic universe of atheism. And the tragedy is that we may make that choice without knowing it -- not by clear conviction but by vague drifting, by losing interest in Him. A nominal deist will say: "Yes, of course there must be some sort of Force that created the galaxy. But it's childish to imagine that It has any personal relation to me!" In that belief atheism exists as an undiagnosed disease. The man who says, "One God," and does not care, is an atheist in his heart. The man who speaks of God and will not recognize him in the burning bush -- that man is an atheist, though he speak with the tongues of men or angels, and appear in his pew every Sunday, and make large contributions to the church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gent who wakes up and finds himself a success hasn't been asleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58161]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gent who wakes up and finds himself a success hasn't been asleep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need certainly to take all the steps we can take to make sure the elections will not be derailed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37522]]></link><description><![CDATA[We need certainly to take all the steps we can take to make sure the elections will not be derailed by the violence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We secure to two trees in case one of them breaks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34481]]></link><description><![CDATA[We secure to two trees in case one of them breaks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963  The word religion is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8527]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963  The word religion is extremely rare in the New Testament and the writings of mystics. The reason is simple. Those attitudes and practices to which we give the collective name of religion are themselves concerned with religion hardly at all. To be religious is to have one's attention fixed on God and on one's neighbour in relation to God. Therefore, almost by definition, a religious man, or a man when he is being religious, is not thinking about religion; he hasn't the time. Religion is what we (or he himself at a later moment) call his activity from outside.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That the desires of the majority of the people are often for injustice and inhumanity against the minority, is demonstrated ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26205]]></link><description><![CDATA[That the desires of the majority of the people are often for injustice and inhumanity against the minority, is demonstrated by every page of the history of the whole world]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From every blush that kindles in thy cheeks, Ten thousand little loves and graces spring  To revel in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4386]]></link><description><![CDATA[From every blush that kindles in thy cheeks, Ten thousand little loves and graces spring  To revel in the roses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That which leads us to the performance of duty by offering pleasure as its reward, is not virtue, but a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60769]]></link><description><![CDATA[That which leads us to the performance of duty by offering pleasure as its reward, is not virtue, but a deceptive copy and imitation of virtue. [Lat., Nam quae voluptate, quasi mercede aliqua, ad officium impellitur, ea non est virtus sed fallax imitatio simulatioque virtutis.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's time for the human race to enter the solar system. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47070]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's time for the human race to enter the solar system.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lovers are fools, but Nature makes them so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25975]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lovers are fools, but Nature makes them so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do think there's probably a lot of questions among (US ) producers about what all this means.
