All we can do is believe or disbelieve; to give it in our life the place of the final reality to which everything else must give way, or to refuse it that place. Many people ... would like to talk the Word of God over. It raises in their minds various questions they would willingly discuss. It has aspects of interest and of difficulty which call for consideration; and so on. Perhaps there are some that confusedly shield themselves against the responsibilities of faith and unbelief by such thoughts. All that such thoughts prove, however, is that those who cherish them have never yet realized that what we are dealing with in the Gospel is GOD. When God speaks in Christ, He reveals His gracious will without qualification. And without qualification, we have to believe in it, or refuse to believe, and so decide the controversy between ourselves and Him. God has not come into the world in Christ ... to be talked about, but to become the supreme reality on the life of men, or to be excluded from that place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, love is the soul of a true Irishman; He loves all that's lovely, loves all that he can,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23048]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, love is the soul of a true Irishman; He loves all that's lovely, loves all that he can,  With his sprig of shillelagh and shamrock so green.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who teaches children learns more than they do ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5940]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who teaches children learns more than they do]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're all pilgrims on the same journey-but some pilgrims have better road maps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22494]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're all pilgrims on the same journey-but some pilgrims have better road maps.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis in grain, sir; 'twill endure wind and weather. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51524]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis in grain, sir; 'twill endure wind and weather.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cars and cameras are the two things I let myself be materialistic about.

But Man having induced death upon himself, God hath taken Man's Creature, death, into his hand, and mended it, and whereas it hath in itself a fearfull form and aspect, so that Man is afraid of his own Creature, God presents it to him, in a familiar, in an assiduous, in an agreeable and acceptable form, in sleep, that so when he awakes from sleep and says to himself, shall I be no otherwise when I am dead, than I was even now, when I was asleep, he may be ashamed of his waking dreams, and of his Melancholique fancying out a horrid and an affrightful figure of that death which is so like sleep. As then we need sleep to live out our threescore and ten years, so we need death, to live that life which we cannot out-live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is facts.
