The first: that the consciences of believers, in seeking assurance of their justification before God, should rise above and advance beyond the law, forgetting all law righteousness... The second part, dependent upon the first, is that consciences observe the law, not as if constrained by the necessity of the law, but that freed from the law's yoke they willingly obey God's will... The third part of Christian freedom lies in this: regarding outward things that are of themselves "indifferent", we are not bound before God by any religious obligation preventing us from sometimes using them and other times not using them, indifferently... Accordingly, it is perversely interpreted both by those who allege it as an excuse for their desires that they may abuse God's good gifts to their own lust and by those who think that freedom does not exist unless it is used before men, and consequently, in using it have no regard for weaker brethren... Nothing is plainer than this rule: that we should use our freedom if it results in the edification of our neighbor, but if it does not help our neighbor, then we should forego it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4581]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent that is to triumph over old age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1762]]></link><description><![CDATA[To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent that is to triumph over old age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13593]]></link><description><![CDATA[The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55066]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others. -Sydney J.

We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith. For the majority of people cannot endure the barrenness and futility of their lives unless they have some ardent dedication, or some passionate pursuit in which they can lose themselves. Thus, in spite of himself, the scoffing man of words becomes the precursor of a new faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When sorrows come, they come not single spies, But in battalions: first, her father slain;  Next, your son gone, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51272]]></link><description><![CDATA[When sorrows come, they come not single spies, But in battalions: first, her father slain;  Next, your son gone, and he most violent author   Of his own just remove; the people muddied,    Thick and unwholesome in their thoughts and whispers     For good Polonius' death, and we have done but greenly      In hugger-mugger to inter him; poor Ophelia       Divided from herself and her fair judgment,        Without the which we are pictures or mere beasts;         Last, and as much containing as all these,          Her brother is in secret come from France,           Feeds on his wonder, keeps himself in clouds,            And wants not buzzers to infect his ear             With pestilent speeches of his father's death,              Wherein necessity, of matter beggared,               Will nothing stick our person to arraign                In ear and ear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Defeat may test you; it need not stop you.
