For that life is won only from death and the good only from the evil is a piece of thoroughly worldly knowledge which is not strange to the Christian. But all this has nothing to do with the temptation of which Christ speaks. It simply does not touch the reality which is meant here. The temptation of which the whole Bible speaks does not have to do with the testing of my strength, for it is of the very essence of temptation in the Bible that all my strength -- to my horror, and without my being able to do anything about it -- is turned against me; really all my powers, including my good and pious powers (the strength of my faith), fall into the hands of the enemy power and are now led into the field against me. Before there can be any testing of my powers, I have been robbed of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Steadfastness in believing doth not exclude all temptations from without.

It is often the one blot on an otherwise noble character. You know men who are all but perfect, and women who would be entirely perfect, but for an easily ruffled, quick-tempered, or "touchy" disposition. This compatibility of ill temper with high moral character is one of the strangest and saddest problems of ethics... No form of vice -- not worldliness, not greed of gold, not drunkenness itself -- does more to unChristianize society than evil temper. For embittering life, for breaking up communities, for destroying the most sacred relationships, for devastating homes, for withering up men and women, for taking the bloom off of childhood -- in short, for sheer, gratuitous misery-producing power -- this influence stands alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cat has too much spirit to have no heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5331]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cat has too much spirit to have no heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There have been heavy rains in the area and as a result many rivers and streams have flooded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34825]]></link><description><![CDATA[There have been heavy rains in the area and as a result many rivers and streams have flooded.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are words which sever hearts more than sharp swords; there are words the point of which sting the heart ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4695]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are words which sever hearts more than sharp swords; there are words the point of which sting the heart through the course of a whole life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joy rul'd the day, and Love the night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23422]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joy rul'd the day, and Love the night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The growth reflects how easy it has become to sell used books and to create inventory in this business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37562]]></link><description><![CDATA[The growth reflects how easy it has become to sell used books and to create inventory in this business.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you stop having dreams and ideals - well, you might as well stop altogether. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41595]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you stop having dreams and ideals - well, you might as well stop altogether.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That would hang us, every mother's son. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.

The world wants to see redemption: it is not interested in being talked to about it.
