And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sacred to the memory of printing, the art preservative of all arts.

But they are not repentance at all... It is the simple truth that that sorrow of heart, that healing and sanctifying pain in which sin is really put away, is not ours in independence of God; it is a saving grace which is begotten in the soul under the impression of sin it owes to the revelation of God in Christ. A man can no more repent than he can do anything else without a motive; and the motive which makes evangelic repentance possible does not enter into his world till he sees God as God makes Himself known in the death of Christ. All true penitents are children of the Cross. Their penitence is not their own creation: it is the reaction towards God produced in their souls by this demonstration of what sin is to Him, and of what His love does to reach and win the sinful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman either loves or hates. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51580]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman either loves or hates.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At work, you think of the children you have left at home.

We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, herbaceous treat! 'Twould tempt the dying anchorite to eat;  Back to the world he'd turn his fleeting soul, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, herbaceous treat! 'Twould tempt the dying anchorite to eat;  Back to the world he'd turn his fleeting soul,   And plunge his fingers in the salad bowl;    Serenely full the epicure would say,     "Fate cannot harm me,--I have dined to-day."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Goodness is a special kind of truth and beauty.
