Righteousness comes back when man by faith is brought to walk with God again, and to give Him His true place by acting or being acted upon in all things according to His will. Anything, therefore, not of faith is sin. And all such sin is bondage. Self-will is bondage, for self-will or independence of God means dependence on a creature; and we cannot be dependent on a creature, be it what it may, without (more or less) becoming subject to it. What has not been given up for money, or for some creature's love? But who has ever thus served the creature more than the Creator without waking at last to feel he is a bondman? I say nothing of the worse bondage which comes from our self-will, in the indulgence of our own thoughts, or passions, or affections. Even the very energies of faith, while, as yet unchastened, it acts from self, ... may only bring forth more bondage... Who but God can set men free? And He sets them free as they walk with Him. All independence of Him is darkness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were a little lazy in the first half.

It tends to imply that the objection is to the attendant dangers and not to the thing itself.

Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On reforms, the decision has been taken and broad outlines drawn but they now need to be activated ... the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36205]]></link><description><![CDATA[On reforms, the decision has been taken and broad outlines drawn but they now need to be activated ... the speech should be comprehensive and positive on domestic issues,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One may be continually abusive without saying any thing just; but one cannot be always laughing at a man without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/242]]></link><description><![CDATA[One may be continually abusive without saying any thing just; but one cannot be always laughing at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hopefully I'll be up here again in a better position in the coming years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40263]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hopefully I'll be up here again in a better position in the coming years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why is it that an extended olive branch often turns to a clinched fist of hatred? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12569]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why is it that an extended olive branch often turns to a clinched fist of hatred?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One does not kill oneself for love of a woman, but because love -- any love -- reveals us in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2162]]></link><description><![CDATA[One does not kill oneself for love of a woman, but because love -- any love -- reveals us in our nakedness, our misery, our vulnerability, our nothingness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Portraits are supposed to "look within," but in my opinion very few people have an interior significantly different from the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Portraits are supposed to "look within," but in my opinion very few people have an interior significantly different from the outside portrait.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In gambling the many must lose in order that the few may win ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17159]]></link><description><![CDATA[In gambling the many must lose in order that the few may win]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sea is flowing ever, The land retains it never. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44888]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sea is flowing ever, The land retains it never.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inflation is like sin; every government denounces it and every government practices it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20823]]></link><description><![CDATA[Inflation is like sin; every government denounces it and every government practices it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The frustrated follow a leader less because of their faith that he is leading them to a promised land than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47595]]></link><description><![CDATA[The frustrated follow a leader less because of their faith that he is leading them to a promised land than because of their immediate feeling that he is leading them away from their unwanted selves.

But I loved them better and better -- and still I knew how little was my love for them compared to Christ's. It is easy enough for a man to be honest and a "Good Christian" and keeper of "the moral law", when he has his own little room, his purse well filled -- when he is well shod and well fed. It is far less easy for a man who has to live from day to day, roaming from city to city, from factory to factory. It is far less easy for someone just out of jail, with nothing to wear but old down-at-the-heels shoes and a shirt in rags. All of a sudden, I understood our Lord's words: "I was in prison ... and you visited me not." All these men, lazy, outside the law, starving: these failures of all kinds -- they were dear to Christ -- they were Christ, waiting in prison for someone to lean over Him -- and if we were true Christians, we would do them every kindness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those pigmy tribes of Panton street, Those hardy blades, those hearts of oak,  Obedient to a tyrant's yoke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13899]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those pigmy tribes of Panton street, Those hardy blades, those hearts of oak,  Obedient to a tyrant's yoke.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any person who recognizes this greatest power... the power to choose.
