And this is the curiosity and niceness of divine love: this is the fear of God, and is the daughter and production of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a world where change is inevitable and continuous, the need to achieve that change without violence is essential for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58395]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a world where change is inevitable and continuous, the need to achieve that change without violence is essential for survival.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To do good and be evil spoken of, is kingly. [Lat., Bene facere et male audire regium est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17836]]></link><description><![CDATA[To do good and be evil spoken of, is kingly. [Lat., Bene facere et male audire regium est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friends are made by many acts and lost by only one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friends are made by many acts and lost by only one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will have an even better car in Phoenix than [the rebuilt car] at Mid-Ohio when the crash compromised the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42297]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will have an even better car in Phoenix than [the rebuilt car] at Mid-Ohio when the crash compromised the vehicle and limited us.

What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved... Another way of putting this is to say that the churches operate with secular values while the secular institutions are permeated with religious terminology... An objective observer is hard put to tell the difference (at least in terms of values affirmed) between the church members and those who maintain an 'unchurched' status. Usually the most that can be said is that the church members hold the same values as everybody else, but with more emphatic solemnity. Thus, church membership in no way means adherence to a set of values at variance with those of the general society; rather, it means a stronger and more explicitly religious affirmation of the same values held by the community at large.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is one inevitable criterion of judgment touching religious faith in doctrinal matters.

That the Christian religion is only a declaration of God's goodwill to us, without any expectation of duty from us -- this is an error which one could hardly think could ever enter into any who have the liberty to read the Bible and attend to what they read and find there. The three great promises of the gospel are all very expressly contained in our Saviour's first sermon upon the mount. There we find the promise of blessedness often repeated but never absolutely made, but upon certain conditions, plainly required on our part, as repentance, righteousness, humility, mercy, peaceableness, meekness, patience. Forgiveness of sins is likewise promised, but only to those who make a penitent acknowledgement of them and ask forgiveness for them., and are ready to grant that forgiveness to others which they beg of God for themselves. The gift of God's Holy Spirit is likewise promised, but it is upon condition of our earnest and importunate prayer to God. The gospel is everywhere full of precepts enjoining duty and obedience upon our part, as well as of promises on God's part, assuring blessings to us -- nay, full of terrible threatenings also if we disobey the precepts of the gospel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is but a canvas to our imagination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20540]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is but a canvas to our imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ear of jealousy heareth all things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23191]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ear of jealousy heareth all things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66040]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47654]]></link><description><![CDATA[The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We generate our own environment.
