It is certain that such people will never win the world for Christ... It is no use trying to pretend: we may speak of joy and preach about it: but, unless we really have the joy of Christ in our hearts and manifest it, our words will carry no conviction to our hearers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a very loyal and passionate audience that unfortunately never did grow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31589]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a very loyal and passionate audience that unfortunately never did grow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For my own part I am persuaded that everything advances by an unchangeable law through the eternal constitution and association ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14358]]></link><description><![CDATA[For my own part I am persuaded that everything advances by an unchangeable law through the eternal constitution and association of latent causes, which have been long before predestined. [Lat., Equidem aeterna constitutione crediderim nexuque causarum atentium et multo ante destinatarum suum quemque ordinem immutabili lege percurrere.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He scorn'd his own, who felt another's woe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46455]]></link><description><![CDATA[He scorn'd his own, who felt another's woe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17412]]></link><description><![CDATA[Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the fatt's in the fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16015]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the fatt's in the fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's quite striking to see a system where there are no barriers to access.

Whether for the Church or for ourselves, let us not take ourselves into our own hands, or choose our own lot. "My times are in Thy hand." He loveth the Church, which He died to purchase, His own Body, and all the members of the Body, better than we can; He loveth us better and more wisely than we ourselves He who made us loveth us better than we who unmade ourselves; He who died for us, better than we who destroy ourselves: He who would sanctify us for a Holy Temple unto Himself, better than we who have defiled what He has hallowed. Fear we not, therefore, anything which threateneth, shrink we not back from anything which falleth on us. Rather let us, though with trembling, hold up our hearts to Him, to make them His Own, in what way He willeth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions -- it only guarantees equality of opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions -- it only guarantees equality of opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most writers are not quick-witted when they talk.
