It is good. It is the best. It is the clean, clear cut teaching of God's Word, the trophies won by truth in its conflict with error, the levees which faith has raised against the desolating floods of honest or reckless misbelief or unbelief; but orthodoxy, clear and hard as crystal, suspicious and militant, may be but the letter well shaped, well named, and well learned, the letter which kills. Nothing is so dead as a dead orthodoxy -- too dead to speculate, too dead to think, to study, or to pray.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power concedes nothing without a demand.

You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The snow has at last melted, the fields regain their herbage, and the trees their leaves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50356]]></link><description><![CDATA[The snow has at last melted, the fields regain their herbage, and the trees their leaves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we our betters see bearing our woes, We scarcely think our miseries our foes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51339]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we our betters see bearing our woes, We scarcely think our miseries our foes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At night returning, every labour sped, He sits him down, the monarch of a shed;  Smiles by his cheerful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19623]]></link><description><![CDATA[At night returning, every labour sped, He sits him down, the monarch of a shed;  Smiles by his cheerful fire, and round surveys   His children's looks, that brighten at the blaze;    While his lov'd partner, boastful of her hoard,     Displays her cleanly platter on the board.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The telephone is a good way to talk to people without having to offer them a drink. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64049]]></link><description><![CDATA[The telephone is a good way to talk to people without having to offer them a drink.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A normal show would cost somebody to have a professional handler, about $75 a show.

It is here amongst the people, that the Church must worship and live its life. If it is faithful both to God and to its Gospel, it will be used to hold forth the Word of light to the conversion of those that see and hear.
