What reasonable or acceptable service can we then perform to God? When our candle is just sinking into the socket, how shall our light "so shine before men that they may see our good works"?... I will not pronounce anything concerning the impossibility of a death-bed repentance, but I am sure that it is very difficult, and, I believe, very rare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How use doth breed a habit in a man! -The Two Gentleman of Verona.

With the exception of the book of Daniel, which the Jews themselves never classed among the prophecies, and an obscure text of Jeremiah, there is not a passage in all the Old Testament which favours the notion of a temporal Messiah. What moral object was there, for which such a Messiah should come? What could he have been but a sort of virtuous Napoleon?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I got caught kissing. Like by my parents.

He can have but little knowledge of his own heart who will deny this. On the other hand, who that is holding on in the ways of righteousness, does not daily ascribe his steadfastness to the influence of that grace which he receives from God; and look daily to God for more grace, in order that he may be "kept by his power through faith unto salvation (Zech. iv. 9)?" No man can in any measure resemble the scripture saints, unless he be of this disposition. Why then must these things be put in opposition to each other, so that every advocate for one of these points must of necessity controvert and explode the other? Only let any pious person... examine the language of his prayers after he has been devoutly pouring out his soul before God, and he will find his own words almost in perfect consonance with the foregoing statement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't like the weather, wait a minute ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61481]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't like the weather, wait a minute]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61481</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Choreography is mentally draining, but there's a pleasure in getting into the studio with the dancers and the music. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29018]]></link><description><![CDATA[Choreography is mentally draining, but there's a pleasure in getting into the studio with the dancers and the music.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All women become like their mothers.
