The whole transaction of religious conversion has been made mechanical and spiritless. Faith may now be exercised without a jar to the moral life and without embarrassment to the Adamic ego. Christ may be "received" without creating any special love for Him in the soul of the receiver. The man is "saved", but he is not hungry or thirsty after God. In fact, he is specifically taught to be satisfied and encouraged to be content with little. The modern scientist has lost God amid the wonders of His world; we Christians are in real danger of losing God amid the wonders of His Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gloaming comes, the day is spent, The sun goes out of sight,  And painted is the occident  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59923]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gloaming comes, the day is spent, The sun goes out of sight,  And painted is the occident   With purple sanguine bright.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Waving the flag at the 1976 Olympics wasn't my idea.

Nor is there any other foundation for any, nor other name by which any can be saved, but the name of Jesus. But how this foundation is presented, and how this name of Jesus is notified unto them, amongst whom there is no Gospel preached, no Church established, I am not curious in inquiring. I know that God can be as merciful as those tender Fathers present him to be; and I would be as charitable as they are. And therefore, humbly embracing that manifestation of his Son, which he hath afforded me, I leave God, to his unsearchable waies of working upon others, without further inquisition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have forgotten more law than you ever knew, but allow me to say, I have not forgotten much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24271]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have forgotten more law than you ever knew, but allow me to say, I have not forgotten much.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way I see it, you should live everyday like its your birthday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66201]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way I see it, you should live everyday like its your birthday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate flowers -- I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16279]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hate flowers -- I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66475]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're all so busy these days that it's hard for parents to spend time with their kids.

It's the only place on this entire planet that is yours. The only place on the planet that understands you. It understands the way your nerves flare everytime you think about talking to anyone, scared into shyness at the thought of opening your mouth but the way you are the best hypocrite around when you're in front of a microphone. It knows what turns that switch on and off and on again. It understands the way when you don't have a smile on your face everyone only spits: "what's wrong"s and "you look tired"s. So the way you keep it on your face just wide enough to avoid questions. It understands how neurotic you have become, the way you treat your flaws like old friends.
