The faith that limits itself to the promises of God seems to me to partake of the paltry character of such a faith in my child -- good enough for a Pagan, but for a Christian a miserable and wretched faith. Those who rest in such a faith would feel yet more comfortable if they had God's bond instead of His word, which they regard not as the outcome of His character but as a pledge of His honour. They try to believe in the truth of His word, but the truth of His Being they understand not. In His oath they persuade themselves that they put confidence: in himself they do not believe, for they know Him not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lively Shadow-World of Song. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57229]]></link><description><![CDATA[The lively Shadow-World of Song.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exercise is the chief source of improvement in our faculties ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Exercise is the chief source of improvement in our faculties]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52240]]></link><description><![CDATA[Progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Slowly and imperceptibly old age comes creeping on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Slowly and imperceptibly old age comes creeping on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let no man deceive you with vain words or vain hopes or false notions of a slight and sudden repentance. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6882]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let no man deceive you with vain words or vain hopes or false notions of a slight and sudden repentance.
