The faith that limits itself to the promises of God seems to me to partake of the paltry character of such a faith in my child -- good enough for a Pagan, but for a Christian a miserable and wretched faith. Those who rest in such a faith would feel yet more comfortable if they had God's bond instead of His word, which they regard not as the outcome of His character but as a pledge of His honour. They try to believe in the truth of His word, but the truth of His Being they understand not. In His oath they persuade themselves that they put confidence: in himself they do not believe, for they know Him not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a knave is in a plumtree he hath neither friend nor kin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50063]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a knave is in a plumtree he hath neither friend nor kin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The why is plain as way to parish church. -As You Like It.

He may hand down everything else, so long as it is material and not pertaining to his person, for it may be acquired and disposed of as property and may over a series of generations create considerable inequalities in wealth among the mem­bers of the commonwealt. But he may not prevent his sub­ordinates from raising themselves to his own level if they are able and entitled to do so by their talent, industry and good fortune. If this were not so, he would be allowed to practise coercion without himself being subject to coercive counter-measures from others, and would thus be more than their fellow-subject.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody ever invented a polite word for a killing yet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23715]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody ever invented a polite word for a killing yet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has been wisely said that we cannot really love anybody at whom we never laugh. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25837]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has been wisely said that we cannot really love anybody at whom we never laugh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Gothic cathedral is a blossoming in stone subdued by the insatiable demand of harmony in man.

A higher price represents an opportunity that leads inventors and businesspeople to seek new ways to satisfy the shortages. Some fail, at cost to themselves. A few succeed, and the final result is that we end up better off than if the original shortage problems had never arisen. That is, we need our problems, though this does not imply that we should purposely create additional problems for ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I could define enlightenment briefly I would say it is "thequiet acceptance of what is.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21601]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I could define enlightenment briefly I would say it is "thequiet acceptance of what is.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a writer admits that he has an affection for something which he has written, it is high time to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63957]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a writer admits that he has an affection for something which he has written, it is high time to pray for his soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd rather be able to face myself in the bathroom mirror than be rich and famous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2291]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd rather be able to face myself in the bathroom mirror than be rich and famous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed over our cities, we, too, will be remembered not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57391]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed over our cities, we, too, will be remembered not for victories or defeats in battle or in politics, but for our contribution to the human spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3379</guid></item></channel></rss>
