All the brethren and sisters of Christ must be conformed to his image in suffering, Rom. viii.17, and some do more fully resemble the copy than others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the eyes of the West, they have the right to occupy our land, rob our wealth and then insult ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29808]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the eyes of the West, they have the right to occupy our land, rob our wealth and then insult us and our religion, and humiliate our Koran and our prophet, prayers be upon him.

But neither the fundamental doctrine of Christianity nor that of the powers and effects of matter and motion seems to be more than an epicycle ... of the great and universal system of God's contrivances, and makes but a part of the more general theory of things, knowable by the light of nature, improved by the information of the scriptures: so that both these doctrines... seem to be but members of the universal hypothesis, whose objects I conceive to be the natural counsels, and works of God, so far as they are discoverable by us in this life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take the goods the gods provide thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48951]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take the goods the gods provide thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think everyone should go to college and get a degree and then spend six months as a bartender and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13430]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think everyone should go to college and get a degree and then spend six months as a bartender and six months as a cabdriver.

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[Contradictions do not exist.
