Every sin is a sin of the indivisible human being, and the divine reaction against it expresses itself to conscience through the indivisible frame of that world, at once natural and spiritual, in which man lives. We cannot distribute evils into the two classes of physical and moral, and subsequently investigate the relation between them: if we could, it would be of no service here. What we have to understand is that when a man sins he does something in which his whole being participates, and that the reaction of God against his sin is a reaction in which he is conscious (or might be conscious) that the whole system of things is in arms against him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many things which a person can do alone, but being a Christian is not one of them.

As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had rather than forty shillings I had my Book of Songs and Sonnets here. -The Merry Wives of Windsor. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55347]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had rather than forty shillings I had my Book of Songs and Sonnets here. -The Merry Wives of Windsor.

I ought not to neglect anything or be passionately vehement about anything, for it is dangerous to do the work of the Lord negligently, on the one hand; or, on the other, to appropriate it to ourselves by self-love and false zeal. In this latter case, our actions arise from a principle of self-will: we are eager and anxious for the success, and that under the pretense of seeking the glory of God. O, God, grant me Thy grace to enable me to be faithful in action and resigned in success! My only business is to do Thy will, and to do it as Thy will, not forgetting Thee in the performance of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Word of God must always be heard quite specifically and in a new way, varying according to the conditions ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8023]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Word of God must always be heard quite specifically and in a new way, varying according to the conditions under which it is preached.

In the winter of 1824, there set in a great flood upon that town--the tide rose to an incredible height: the waves rushed in upon the houses, and everything was threatened with destruction. In the midst of this sublime and terrible storm, Dame Partington, who lived upon the beach, was seen at the door of her house with mop and pattens, trundling her mop, squeezing out the sea water, and vigorously pushing away the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic was roused. Mrs. Partington's spirit was up; but I need not tell you that the contest was unequal. The Atlantic Ocean beat Mrs. Partington. She was excellent at a slop or a puddle, but she should not have meddled with a tempest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The current earnings and the forward-looking guidance, in general, have not met expectations among a lot of companies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37905]]></link><description><![CDATA[The current earnings and the forward-looking guidance, in general, have not met expectations among a lot of companies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If my best wines mislike thy taste, And my best service win thy frown,  Then tarry not, I bid ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19853]]></link><description><![CDATA[If my best wines mislike thy taste, And my best service win thy frown,  Then tarry not, I bid thee haste;   There's many another Inn in town.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48444]]></link><description><![CDATA[And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who the hell wants to hear actors talk? -- H.M.
