Dr. (Thomas) Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realized that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in. The modern mind assumes what Dr. Chalmers painfully discovered. An atonement that does not regenerate, it truly holds, is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Count not fowre except you have them in a wallett. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49184]]></link><description><![CDATA[Count not fowre except you have them in a wallett.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13944]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chip companies are getting ready for stronger demand in the back half of the year.

But when we analyze it, it turns into a complex tangle of paradoxes. We become ourselves by dying to ourselves. We gain only what we give up, and if we give up everything we gain everything. We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others; yet at the same time, before we can go out to others we must first find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become truly conscious of who we are. The best way to love ourselves is to love others; yet we cannot love others unless we love ourselves, since it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly, we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others. Yet there is a sense in which we must hate others and leave them in order to find God... As for this finding of God, we cannot even look for Him unless we have already found Him, and we cannot find Him unless He has first found us. We cannot begin to seek Him without a special gift of His grace; yet if we wait for grace to move us before beginning to seek Him, we will probably never begin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Treason is not own'd when 'tis descried; Successful crimes alone are justified. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Treason is not own'd when 'tis descried; Successful crimes alone are justified.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who does not become familiar with nature through love will never know her. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63348]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who does not become familiar with nature through love will never know her.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience is necessary, and one cannot reap immediately where one has sown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience is necessary, and one cannot reap immediately where one has sown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have tied me to a stake.
