The apostle calls it the band of perfection; it is the old, and it is the new, and it is the great commandment, and it is all the commandments; for it is the fulfilling of the Law. It does the work of all the graces without any instrument but its own immediate virtue. For as the love of sin makes a man sin against all his own reason, and all the discourses of wisdom, and all the advices of his friends, and without temptation and without opportunity, so does the love of God: it makes a man chaste without the laborious arts of fasting and exterior disciplines, temperate in the midst of feasts, and is active enough to choose it without any intermedial appetites, and reaches at glory through the very heart of grace, without any other aims but those of love. It is a grace that loves God for Himself, and our neighbors for God. The consideration of God's goodness and bounty, the experience of those profitable and excellent emanations from Him, may be, and most commonly are, the first motive of our love; but when we are once entered, and have tasted the goodness of God, we love the spring for its own excellency, passing from passion to reason, from thanking to adoring, from sense to spirit, from considering ourselves to union with God: and this is the image and little representation of heaven; it is beatitude in picture, or rather the infancy and beginning of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your dream is a big dream, and if you want your life to work on the high level that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52128]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your dream is a big dream, and if you want your life to work on the high level that you say you do, there's no way around doing the work it takes to get you there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60743]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hanging and wiving go by destiny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hanging and wiving go by destiny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Superstition, idolatry, and hypocrisy have ample wages, but truth goes begging. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58368]]></link><description><![CDATA[Superstition, idolatry, and hypocrisy have ample wages, but truth goes begging.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66124]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A very beadle to a humorous sigh. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

Repeatedly, the light has shone forth in the darkness, held aloft by hands that perished in the destruction of the institution that failed. Christians tend to defend the institution of their own creation with tenacity. It is institutional Christianity that has often shackled the Church... Many of the missionary institutions of the Church are expendable. They should always be treated as expendable.  ... Leonard M. Outerbridge, The Lost Churches of China July 24, 1996 Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  Men stand much upon the title of 'orthodox', by which is usually understood, not believing the doctrine of Christ or His apostles, but such opinions as are in vogue among such a party, such systems of divinity as have been compiled in haste by those whom we have in admiration; and whatever is not consonant to these little bodies of divinity, tho' possibly it agree well enough with the Word of God, is error and heresy; and whoever maintains it can hardly pass for a Christian among some angry and perverse people. I do not intend to plead for any error, but I would not have Christianity chiefly measured by matters of opinion. I know no such error and heresy as a wicked life... Of the two, I have more hopes of him that denies the divinity of Christ and lives otherwise soberly and righteously and godly in the world, than of the man who owns Christ to be the Son of God and lives like a child of the devil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money grows on the tree of persistence ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money grows on the tree of persistence]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have two bites at the local apple before you have to go to court, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41596]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have two bites at the local apple before you have to go to court,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gross ignorance: 144 times worse than ordinary ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20430]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gross ignorance: 144 times worse than ordinary ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10854]]></link><description><![CDATA[The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[E'en a crow o' th' same nest; not altogether so great as the first in goodness, but greater a great ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10497]]></link><description><![CDATA[E'en a crow o' th' same nest; not altogether so great as the first in goodness, but greater a great deal in evil.
