By individual depravity, I mean my own. I find it out in myself; or, rather, He who searcheth me and trieth my ways, finds it out in me. That sense of depravity implies the recognition of a law from which I have broken loose, of a Divine image which my character has not resembled. It is the law and the order which are universal. It is this character of Christ which is the true human character. It is easy enough to own to a general depravity; under cover of it, you and I would escape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For there no yew nor cypress spread their glom But roses blossom'd each rustic tomb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62503]]></link><description><![CDATA[For there no yew nor cypress spread their glom But roses blossom'd each rustic tomb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are not in fashion, you are nobody. - "Letter to his son", April 30, 1750. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2855]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are not in fashion, you are nobody. - "Letter to his son", April 30, 1750.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How could I, blest with thee, long nights employ; And how with the longest day enjoy!  [Lat., Quam vellem ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13936]]></link><description><![CDATA[How could I, blest with thee, long nights employ; And how with the longest day enjoy!  [Lat., Quam vellem longas tecum requiescere noctes,   Et tecum longos pervigilare dies.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The red wine first must rise In their fair cheeks, my lord; then we shall have 'em  Talk us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58624]]></link><description><![CDATA[The red wine first must rise In their fair cheeks, my lord; then we shall have 'em  Talk us to silence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The odds are that things are going to be a little stronger than people anticipate in another month or so. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38035]]></link><description><![CDATA[The odds are that things are going to be a little stronger than people anticipate in another month or so.

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[Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow; He who would search for pearls, must dive below. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow; He who would search for pearls, must dive below.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honesty is as much saying everything as it is saying what is true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honesty is as much saying everything as it is saying what is true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Research is formalized curiosity.
