It was because fallen man was to go through all these stages as necessary parts of his return to God; and therefore, if man was to go out of his fallen state there must be a son of this fallen man, who, as a head and fountain of the whole race, could do all this -- could go back through all these gates and so make it possible for all the individuals of human nature, as being born of Him, to inherit His conquering nature and follow Him through all these passages to eternal life. And thus we see, in the strongest and clearest light, both why and how the holy Jesus is become our great Redeemer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was a young man I vowed never to marry until I found the ideal woman.

Can I really be expected to take this seriously?In fact, of course, it is necessary for it to be nonsense; if it made sense, it could be evaluated. The essence of modern intellectual snobbery is the 'emperor's new cloths' approach. Teachers, critics, our self-appointed intellectual elite, make it quite clear to us that if we cannot see the superlative nature of this 'art'- why, it merely shows our ignorance, our lack of sophistication and insight. Of course, they go beyond the storybook emperor's tailors, who dressed their victim in nothing and called it fine garments. The modern tailors dress the emperor in garbage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a proof of a well-trained mind, to rejoice in what is good and to grieve at the opposite. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17848]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a proof of a well-trained mind, to rejoice in what is good and to grieve at the opposite. [Lat., Ergo hoc proprium est animi bene constituti, et laetari bonis rebus, et dolere contrariis.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I firmly believe that if the whole materia medica could be sunk to the bottom of the sea, it would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26747]]></link><description><![CDATA[I firmly believe that if the whole materia medica could be sunk to the bottom of the sea, it would be all the better for mankind, and all the worse for the fishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Others had contacted her, but these were the two others she seriously considered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34156]]></link><description><![CDATA[Others had contacted her, but these were the two others she seriously considered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the technology of our production was still pre-War.

It is this explanation of justification by faith only which leads us to the true depth of what the Gospel has contributed to this world. To live by grace and to die by grace, to live in forgiveness every day, every hour and every moment, means to identify oneself with those who do not share our faith, and to realize all the debts we owe them. Let us not be afraid that this will reduce the Gospel to relativism. Its depth is in proportion to its breadth. The deeper it is, the broader and fuller it becomes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion and desire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18514]]></link><description><![CDATA[All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion and desire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Failure is not our only punishment for laziness: there is also the success of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Failure is not our only punishment for laziness: there is also the success of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't just learn the tricks of the trade.
