The carbon gets up there, but the heating effect is delayed. And then the effect of that heat on the species and ecosystem is delayed. That means that even when you turn virtuous, things are actually going to get worse for quite a while.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Listen.

All too often, evangelicals are paper people. If we do not preach these things, talk about them to each other, and teach them carefully from the pulpit and in the Christian classroom, we cannot expect Christians so to act. This has always been important, but it is especially so today because we are surrounded by a world in which personality is increasingly eroded. If we, who have become God's children, do not show Him to be personal in our lives, then in practice we are denying His existence, and He cannot be anything but grieved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Overall the fundamentals seem to be there and he's obviously got a very mature head on his shoulders.

His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many hands make light work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many hands make light work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only one thing is quite certain: he too has his time and not more than his time.

One day others will come who will do the same things better. And some day he will have been completely forgotten--even if he should have built the pyramids or the St. Gotthard tunnel or invented atomic fission. And one thing is even more certain: whether the achievement of a man's life is great or small, significant or insignificant, he will one day stand before his eternal judge, and everything that he has done and performed will be no more than a mole hill, and then he will have nothing better to do than hope for something he has not earned: not for a crown, but quite simply for gracious judgment which he has not deserved. That is the only thing that will count then, achievement or not. "My kindness shall not depart from you." By this man lives. By this alone can he live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester, 1095   The truth is that so long as we hold both sides ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8604]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester, 1095   The truth is that so long as we hold both sides of the proposition together they contain nothing inconsistent with orthodoxy, but as soon as one is divorced from the other, it is bound to prove a stumbling-block. "Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of cheap grace, which is another word for damnation. If the second half stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of salvation through works, which is also another word for damnation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Question your grace the late ambassadors, With what great state he heard their embassy,  How well supplied with noble ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12449]]></link><description><![CDATA[Question your grace the late ambassadors, With what great state he heard their embassy,  How well supplied with noble counsellors,   How modest in exception, and withal    How terrible in constant resolution,     And you shall find his vanities forespent      Were but the outside of the Roman Brutus,       Covering discretion with a coat of folly;        As gardeners do with ordure hide those roots         That shall first spring and be most delicate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Victory belongs to the most persevering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Victory belongs to the most persevering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not our circumstances that create our discontent or contentment.
