A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Samuel Seabury, First Anglican Bishop in North America, 1796   Here you have the true reason why ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6997]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Samuel Seabury, First Anglican Bishop in North America, 1796   Here you have the true reason why revenge or vengeance is not allowed to man: it is because vengeance can only work in the evil or disordered properties of fallen nature. But man, being himself a part of fallen nature and subject to its disordered properties, is not allowed to work with them, because it would be stirring up evil in himself, and that is his sin of wrath or revenge. God therefore reserves all vengeance to Himself, not because wrathful revenge is a temper or quality that can have any place in the holy Deity, but because the holy supernatural Deity, being free from all the properties of nature, whence partial love and hatred spring, and being in Himself nothing but an infinity of love, wisdom, and goodness, He alone knows how to overrule the disorders of nature, and so to repay evil with evil, that the highest good may be promoted by it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humility like darkness reveals the heavenly lights. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19103]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humility like darkness reveals the heavenly lights.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who are incapable of committing great crimes do not readily suspect them in others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20974]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who are incapable of committing great crimes do not readily suspect them in others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He told me he wasn't getting into the middle of this. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40762]]></link><description><![CDATA[He told me he wasn't getting into the middle of this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perfect courage means doing unwitnessed what we would be capable of with the world looking on. -La Rochefoucauld. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10360]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perfect courage means doing unwitnessed what we would be capable of with the world looking on. -La Rochefoucauld.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13607]]></link><description><![CDATA[Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Syracuse will be happy to see that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34157]]></link><description><![CDATA[Syracuse will be happy to see that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If anything, things have gotten worse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42189]]></link><description><![CDATA[If anything, things have gotten worse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The marble index of a mind forever Voyaging through strange seas of thought, alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54939]]></link><description><![CDATA[The marble index of a mind forever Voyaging through strange seas of thought, alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man with an idea has at least two or three followers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16315]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man with an idea has at least two or three followers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are only as wise as others perceive you to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46095]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are only as wise as others perceive you to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ten poor men sleep in peace on one straw heap, as Saadi sings, But the immensest empire is too narrow ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9930]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ten poor men sleep in peace on one straw heap, as Saadi sings, But the immensest empire is too narrow for two kings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[has destroyed the whole base of life for people and other creatures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35608]]></link><description><![CDATA[has destroyed the whole base of life for people and other creatures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever says artists can't deal with corporate pressures because they have frail minds, is missing out on the potential the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever says artists can't deal with corporate pressures because they have frail minds, is missing out on the potential the artistic mind has to boost company morale and increase productivity.
